Fighting Already

Here is Ella and Noah taking a nap together in the crib. Both were quite asleep and enjoying being by each other.


However, Noah decided that he would give Ella a little tap on the face, which she did not appreciate at all.

Ultimately, Mom had to step in and be the mediator.

Pictures: second time around

We had our photographer friend, Kim Johnson, back to take more pictures of the babes. To see a few samples click here.

Happy Valentines Day!

Thanks for our outfits, G & C!

Love, Ella & Noah

Nap Time

This weekend, Dad, Ella, Noah, and Moses all decided to take a nap... it was nice until the crying started about 10 minutes later.

A Nana-Papa-Nini-Grandpa Visit

Noah & Ella enjoyed a visit from their grandparents this evening.

Moses

Moses (our favorite little dog) has been adjusting to a new life where he is no longer the center of attention. He is quite curious about the babies, but doesn't quite know what to think. He looks bewildered when the babies cry, insists on taking their little Smart Wool booties, and has discovered that were there are babies, there is milk. Here he is trying to get Ella to play with him, but she's not interested.

Kim Johnson Photography

Our photographer friend Kim Johnson took some pictures of the twins when they were about one week old. Her pictures are awesome and we highly recommend her work. Check out her blog to see the pictures:

Sleeping

Day or night, Ella loves sleeping...


Noah loves a good nap as well.

Moses remembers when he was a puppy and used to take as many naps as he could...

Mom and Dad... not so much!

Papa Pish

Ella, our champion sleeper, goes through a complete stretching routine every time she wakes up. She spends at least few minutes in the pose below before she opens her eyes.

This is Noah with his buddy Isaac who is about 8 months old. We always thought that Isaac looked small...until he was side by side with Noah.

Twins v. 32 oz Nalgene

Some friends asked that we take a picture of the babes next to a standard size object. So, here are the twins with a 32 oz Nalgene bottle --they are about 2 weeks old.

More pics of the twins

Noah is on the left and Ella is on the right -they are about 1 week old in this shot.

Babies so small...

As of right now, the babies 'fit' in one outfit each --their gnome sleepers. We tried to put them in preemie clothes and the torso size is right, but the length is about 4 inches too short. The ones that they are wearing below are the size that comes before 0-3 months and you can see that they are swimming in them. ..and Ella is trying out to be one of the Pointer Sisters.

They Arrived!

We have a new family members! Please join us in welcoming Ella Faith and Noah James!

On January 8, 2008, Ella entered into the world at 3:26 PM. She was followed quickly thereafter by her brother Noah at 3:43 PM. Noah weighed in at 5 lb. 12 oz, beating out his sister by 2 oz. He also was slightly taller, measuring 19.5 in. vs. Ella's 18.5 in. In terms of hair, Ella had her brother beat, sporting a full head of dark hair.
