Oh Boy, Oh Boy!!!

It's official.. We're having twin BOYS!!! We're very excited and grateful to be adding to our family with double the fun, joy, (stress?). Lewis's world will not be the same, but we think he will be a great big brother. I guess that leaves me seriously outnumbered. At the 20 week ultra sound check up, we were happy to hear that the twins are just the right size, weight, measurement, etc. I'm feeling pretty good in my 2nd trimester and sometimes ask myself, maybe I can do this one more time? Guess I should wait and see what life will be like going from 1 boy to 3!
So to kick things off for our growing family, we sold the Lexus and bought a new mini-van!!! I've entered a whole new world and I couldn't be happier:-)

Early Summer Days...

Lewis's latest fascination has been Volcanoes which he pronounces enthusiatically, "Wahhhh-too"! He loves to take his little red toy that he thinks is a volcano to the park, the pool, and in the bathtub. Whether he fills it with sand, water, or bubbles he'll gently tap the top as if it's erupting and it entertains him for quite awhile.. If he doesn't have his handy red volcano with him, he loves to make his own out of wet sand, blankets, or pillows. Even when I hand him a triangle shape tortilla chip, he says, "Wahhh-too!" Lewis is starting to get into waterfalls now and can easily access them on youtube with my iPhone. One of his favorite things to do remains throwing rocks or anything that will make a splash into water.
So that's been our play theme to start off the summer and we've been having a lot of fun with it... Kaaa-Boom!!!

Spring Trip to Utah

We had a wonderful visit and got to see all of our families. Lewis loved seeing his grandparents, cousins, and especially the rocks in the river! After a long day of fun, out door activities Lewis was plumb-tuckered out...
Here's a link to see video at the river: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEQvyGp3l8I

BREAKING NEWS

Deanna has been spotted in the kitchen!!

No seriously, this is Lance, and I am making a rare posting to our blog to express my gratitude to Deanna for finding such a great place for our family in Irvine. I give her a lot of credit for making it happen after telling me about her favorite park and "dream neighborhood" for so long. We love our new home!

Home Sweet Home

We moved to the promised land... Irvine!!! We've only been here 2 weeks now, and it's everything I was hoping for and more..
When I first discovered Sweet Shade Park, I knew it was where we wanted to be. For the past 2 years I've been driving Lewis out to this park. And now there it is, right outside our front door! The park, the pool, the great neighbors and schools and don't even get me started on the shopping. Hello, Whole Foods! It's everything a mom of a 2-year-old boy would ever want. Lance has taken Lewis to the pool and hot tub 3 time this week and it's February, people.. We're living the dream, baby!

It's 2011!!!

We're looking forward to a whole new year...
