Life With Twins is Blurry

I know that I take and share many, MANY pictures of these precious twins. They have been such a joy for our family. I have discovered that after hitting the 15 month mark I am having a difficult time getting a good picture of both of them together. They are always on the move, making the shots blurry. That concept describes life with young twins. I have one friend that can't even remember her young twins because she was so busy with them. I made the conscious choice to not stop sharing the pictures. Ever since that first ultrasound that should two babies, I have been looking at blogs of people with twins. I have been sad to see that they stop blogging and sharing day to day life. I understand that. Every time I sit down to blog some little hand comes over the table and tries to help. Every picture of twins has some one running out or moving in. Every moment is spent wondering where they are and want they are in to. I love the in this age of phones with cameras I can at least capture a quick shot even if it isn't the right light or the perfect shot. I still think it is important and fun to share. I want to capture the moments so I can remember, I want to offer some hope to moms that just had the twin ultrasound and are reeling with their exciting discovering and I also want you to have a giggle.

"Crash" is often heard and we discover that the girls have removed a vase, or plate, or dish from the buffet to hid inside of it.

Adorable - Beautiful

O Man, they conked out before we served lunch.

Beautiful (hiding behind the monkey) and Adorable on Right.

This car seat configuration made the rest of the kiddos angry with mom. Everyone wants to sit near the babies. I have found that the babies love sitting next to each other. We all love listening to them chat as they see something new as we drive.

They still enjoy the jump ups. Only problem is that they will not sit still long enough to get a picture that isn't blurry.

Taking them out doesn't help because they like to sneak up the staircase.

Danger - babies on stairs.

Beautiful's behind is toward us and Adorable is looking at us with her feet up.

These next few shots explain twins with pictures. They would not sit still at all. I decided that I preferred sleeping shots at this point.

Beautiful copies Adorable's previous shot while Adorable climbs away.

Another big surprise - a twin induced mess. They are so good at making messes.

While dad and I were out one afternoon we got reports that the mess makers were out of control so they made a jail for them. At first the twins thought this was funny but as soon as they realized it was designed to limit their activity they rebelled.

Twins behind glass, now that I could get used to. Just kidding. They love looking out and seeing the world. With them in the window it also gives others a peak in. Don't be scared. They are just busy. lovable always on the go twin girls that we adore.

What will I see here?

Take a peek into our life as a big family in Houston, TX. Welcome to the electronic journal for the Texas T family. This blog was created to share some moments of our life with you. Often having 11 children (including twins), homeschooling, and being incredibly active in our Catholic faith we are asked “How do you do it?” We invite you to look around, sign up as a follower, and peek into the answer to that question. Remember we are not a perfect family; but I won't post the bad stuff.

Thanks for visiting, Neen

The Nicene Creed

We believe (I believe) in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, and born of the Father before all ages. (God of God) light of light, true God of true God. Begotten not made, consubstantial to the Father, by whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven. And was incarnate of the Holy Ghost and of the Virgin Mary and was made man; was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered and was buried; and the third day rose again according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of the Father, and shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, of whose Kingdom there shall be no end. And (I believe) in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father (and the Son), who together with the Father and the Son is to be adored and glorified, who spoke by the Prophets. And one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We confess (I confess) one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for (I look for) the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help ~ Pray For Us!

Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God and Mother of the Church you are also our Mother of Perpetual Help. With hearts full of love for you we consecrate ourselves to your Immaculate Heart so that we may be your devoted children. Obtain for us true sorrow for our sins and fidelity to the promises of our Baptism. We consecrate our minds and hearts to you that we always do the Will of our heavenly Father. We consecrate our lives to you that we may love God better and live not for ourselves but for Christ, your Son and that we may see Him and serve Him in others. By this humble act of consecration dear Mother of Perpetual Help we pledge to model our lives on you, the perfect Christian. So that, consecrated to you in life and in death we may belong to your Divine Son for all eternity. Amen

St. Joseph ~ Pray For Us!

NINE-DAYS NOVENA TO ST. JOSEPH (Note: This prayer was found in the 50th year of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Sometime during the 16th century, it was sent by the Pope to Emperor Charles when he was going into battle. It is said that whoever shall read this prayer or take it with them, shall never die a sudden death or be drowned, nor shall poison take effect on them; neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy, or shall be burned in any fire or shall be overpowered in battle.) Say this prayer for nine days for anything you may desire. Then let go and let God. Trust that whatever is the outcome of your novena is truly what is best for you in accordance with the will of God.) O Saint Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. O Saint Joseph, assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. O Saint Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me, and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. Amen O Saint Joseph, hear my prayers and obtain my petitions. O Saint Joseph, pray for me. (Mention your intention)

St. Bernard of Clairvaux

St. Bernard of Clairvaux wrote to a couple that had a miscarriage. In response to their question, “What is going to happen to my child? The child didn’t get baptized,” St. Bernard said, “Your faith spoke for this child. Baptism for this child was only delayed by time. Your faith suffices. The waters of your womb — were they not the waters of life for this child? Look at your tears. Are they not like the waters of baptism? Do not fear this. God’s ability to love is greater than our fears. Surrender everything to God.”

St. Jude ~ Pray For Us!

(Novena say this for 9 days) Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of difficult cases, of things almost despaired of, Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Intercede with God for me that He bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly - (make your request here)- and that I may praise God with you and all the saints forever. I promise, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor granted me by God and to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you.

St. Anthony of Padua ~ Pray For Us!

Holy Saint Anthony, gentle and powerful in your help, your love for God and charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were always ready to request for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to obtain for me (request). The answer to my prayer may require a miracle. Even so, you are the Saint of miracles. Gentle and loving Saint Anthony, whose heart is ever full of human sympathy, take my petition to the Infant Savior for whom you have such a great love, and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen.
