Wilderness Beauty!

While in Cleveland, Daddy & Mia got to spend a few hours in the Metroparks. These were the woods where Daddy grew up, so it was really fun to explore the same trails Daddy played on as a child... Mia made sure we found a magical castle, we conducted an orchestra with sticks, and we skipped stones! Moments like those are the absolute best in life.

Papa Time!

Grammy & Papa came in for the weekend to watch the twins while Mommy, Daddy & Mia head back to Cleveland for a few days! We were worried that it might be too much to ask of them to help with the twins. However, within about an hour Papa had a glass of wine and a happily fed Brandon... I'm pretty sure they'll all be just fine. These guys don't look too stressed!

Snuggle Time!

Could this picture be any cuter?! Boy what a change... Mia has always been such a Daddy's girl. Now we've clearly got a Momma's boy! He's quite the snuggler.

Television Time!

Yes, those chubby gremlins are Brandon & Aubrey! They've gone from wanting to sleep all day, to wanting to interact, and even enjoy a little TV time... Hard to believe they were 3 pound premies a few months ago, huh?

The Gang!

Here they are! All three of our midgets hanging out together at bed time... Note Mia's constant silliness! Also note that my boy is trying his hardest to stay away from the girls... Smart man!

Happy Days!

Here was Momma trying to balance the needs of everyone while keeping the Stay Puft Man happy! Several people have inquired as to why there are so many pictures of Brandon on Mia's blog, and so few of Aubrey... Daddy is most definitely not showing favortism to his boy! The truth is that Brandon is so damn needy that he happens to be around every time we're snapping a photo. Whereas, our perfect angel Aubrey is content to sleep or lie around quietly. I guess it's the old squeaky wheel getting the grease theory... Hopefully that will be changing, as they are both beginning to blossom little personalities! It's so great to see them smiling, giggling and beginning to interact with their surroundings. They've sure come a long way... And I don't just mean their weight!

Aunt Caren & Hadley Visit!

Aunt Caren flew in for the weekend with Mia's cousin, Hadley. They were hugely helpful while Daddy was traveling for work, and Mia had an absolute blast! You can see it didn't take long for Big Bubba Brandon to work his way in with Aunt Caren... He's got a way with the ladies!

Cousin Hadley!

Mia sure loves her big cousin Hadley! She had so much fun during their visit that she could hardly keep her eyes open by the time the sun went down... Each day ended with a nice long swim in the 95 degree pool water! Unfortunately, even the pool is hot this time of year. That didn't stop the fun!
