Homeschool Advantage

Here in Houston the very end of August means really bad temperatures.  It is so very hot and the humidity is awful.  It was a feel like "107 degrees F" kind of day.

We had the school week finished; so while your kids were in school fighting the heat we were relaxing in a neighbor's pool.  Thank you to the H family and all our friends that joined in.
Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Doubles

Adorable - Beautiful

Does it look like a lot of work?  It is!

It is also a lot of fun. Double the smiles and double and baby giggles.

Adorable is leading the way even when they sleep.  We all get a giggle out of the positions they end up in.

Dad loves his girls.

Fantasy Football

Pickle now loves football, it is kind of a new thing.  During a Saints game last year he fell in love with the sport.  He has spent the past year gathering as much information as he could on the sport in general.  Dad invited him into the big guys family fantasy league.  J, his dad,brothers, friends that are like brothers,  and brother-in-laws with Bear and now Pickle form a league.  I never knew how big of a deal this is but it is huge.  

The draft was interesting.   

 I get to help Pickle this year as he learns, that means I am learning also.  I was bored way before the teams were picked.  I have never liked Beer (more of a mixed fruity drink kind of girl), but I did force myself to enjoy 3/4 of a beer while the draft was happening.

I bet I will never get it like the guys do but it is cool to watch them bond over this stuff.  (And in our family - most of the girls k now as much as the boys.  It is just mom that is out of the loop!)  Good luck Pickle on your first season and good luck to dad and Bear as well.

So Cute

They are looking more and more alike every day.  We took these pictures just because it was Wednesday and we have cute babies.

Zucchetto Enterprises Begins

I know it doesn't look like it here but a company is being born.  These two husbands and fathers have long discussed wanting to create a company for their families to grow into.  After years of talk and research the foundations are now being laid.  No major job changes for these men just the beginning of something that will later be very big.  That is the dream.  I am so proud of my hubby and Mr. D for having the foresight to plan ahead for their families and the courage to begin even in this time of great economic uncertainty.   This is not the announcement of any life changes but the acknowledgement of the birth of Zucchetto Enterprises.

Princess turns 10 also on 8-19

Our Princess turned 10 today.  Here she is wearing a dress that was designed and sewn for her by her big sister Sugar.

For her meal she choose Olive Garden.

A group shot with this crowd is not easy but it always looks good.

Happy birthday Princess.  You are a wonderful person inside and out.  Mom and dad are so proud of you and all that you try to accomplish.  You are positive and happy so much of the time and we are enjoying watching you grow into a young lady.

Happy 3 Month - Celebrate with a Swim

The twins are officially 3 months today.  They might be a tad behind but nothing major.  I have forgotten that they were preemies and have to remind myself when I think they should be doing something that they are not.  Today was also Princess's birthday and that will be covered in a separate post.

Adorable and Sugar

Everyone knows that the Texas T's love to swim.  The babies' first dips had to include us all.

Beautiful and Pooker

Clearly we were more excited than the twins.

Different ideas came up on how to introduce to the water.  Some wanted to rush others went slow.

Bear with Adorable

Happy Week 13

Week 13 had them holding their heads more and more.  Adorable and Beautiful, just too cute!

Switching Outfits

All of these pictures were taken within two days of each other.  The girls outfits were cleaned and then put on the opposite baby two days later.  Talk about confusing.  We took lots of pictures just cause they are cute and the babies are so alert.  

On 8-15 Twin Adorable is in the White top and Twin Beautiful is in the Pink Top.

I just love these faces.  So much alike and yet so different.

The pictures below were taken on 8-17.  Twin Adorable is in the hot pink and Twin Beautiful is in White.
