As promised, here is what we have been up to this summer...

The Korfhage family reunion in Walla Walla.

My sweet Great Grandma Korfhage.

Skipping rocks with all the cousins.

Celebrating #3 with my nephew Cole.

Catching up with the Roth side of the family in Walla Walla. 4 sets of twins in the family!
Grammie with the twins!

Celebrating Krevin in Roche Harbour. It was such a beautiful wedding and fun weekend without kids!
While we missed the girls, it was great to have some quality time together.
Enjoying some good time with friends.
Pool time with Grammie while we were away.
Lots of fun up at Suncadia with our buddies!

Weekend up at Whidbey with Dad and Gran Nan.
Hmmm, not quite sure what they think of the sand...

Celebrating 1st birthdays with our PEPS twin group.

A&E are the last to turn 1 but they still got a little taste of icing a little early.


And fun pool parties with our BFF Charlotte.
Needless to say, we have enjoyed this summer to the FULLEST! I have enjoyed every second at home with my girls and can't wait to start some new activities with them this Fall.

10 Months!

10 months? How can that be? That means only two months until they turn 1! YIKES! I know I say this every month, but A&E are just changing so fast. I always thought that the "baby stage" was my favorite, but if I could box them up and keep them at this stage forever I would! They are both crawling and pulling themselves onto everything. They have really finally figured out that the other one is there and they laugh and babble to each other all day. Their favorite thing to do these days is stand up in their cribs and throw their binkies out and laugh at each other. They have both learned to clap their hands to "If you are happy and you know it" and wave bye-bye. Avery has turned into a much happier little girl now that she is mobile and can explore new things. She is so cute when she laughs after each sneeze.

Needless to say I could just sit here all day and watch in awe as they learn new things. After much deliberation, I made the decision to "retire" from Nordstrom and start my new career as a stay at home mom. I was so sad to leave my co-workers of 9 years, but we just needed life to slow down. This may be my one chance with babies so I need to savor every moment of it. And savoring it I am with the million pictures I have been taking. More of those later!
