Siblings!

Like our experience with Mia, everything is happening so quickly! Brandon already weighs 6 lbs 2 oz, and Aubrey is up to 5 lbs 12 oz. This past Sunday we took the twins for their first adventure out of the home! Big Sister Mia supervised as we went to brunch with Aunt Cathy & Uncle Ryan, and Grammy & Papa. As you can see, Mia was awfully proud to show off her little siblings... Tell me that proud smile isn't the sweetest?! She has been truly amazing in how she has accepted the twins. She has been loving, nurturing and fun! So far there hasn't been the slightest hint of jealousy or animosity... I'm not sure why I'm surprised, as this angel of a child has surprised us with her perfection at every turn! We are very lucky...

Self Portrait!

Her evolving sense of humor is amazing! Absolutely silly...

Mary Bear!

Here she is, the world famous Mary Bear! This is Mia's favorite and best friend in the whole wide world... It's so cute to see how Mia's creativity has blossomed. Every day she tears the house up preparing large and lavish tea parties for her bears! Note that Mary has her own thrown, a few slices of pizza, a cup full of cookies and a bowl full of chips! Those are some serious royal perks...

Mary Bear was named after a dear friend of our family's, Fred's Mom, Mary Johnson. Mary bought Mia this bear, and so she was appropriately named Mary Bear! Recently Mary found 3 more identical Mary Bear's for us to have as back ups, which was amazingly sweet of her! So when the twins came home we decided to give Mia a new Mary Bear from Brandon & Aubrey. I wasn't sure if she would even care about her new bear in relation to old Mary Bear. Wow, was I wrong! When I handed her the new bear her eyes popped out of her head, she began jumping up and down and couldn't even make a sound... It was the most excited I've ever seen Mia! She grabbed 'New Mary', as she named her, and immediately ran to Momma and showed off her new bear with a level of enthusiasm that may go unrivaled until Mia gets married or has a child!! Mary Johnosn, you are the best! (By the way, Mia took this picture...)
