A Little More Lovin'

Here are a few more pictures from Valentine's Day. I loved them in the heart outfits that my Aunt Dona and Uncle Fred sent for them! These pictures show the progression of the day as their glucose levels rose!

Pretty tame, prior to school and the Valentine party

There's some sugar!!

And more sugar!

Lucy, decorating cookies.... look closely at the cookie that stuck to her shirt when she leaned forward for more icing!

Claire, having taken her pants and sweatshirt off, put my high heels on and, yes, ate more sugar

Our First Pets

Judd and I got the girls fish for Valentine's Day. They loved them! Their reaction was priceless and I wish that we would have gotten it on video camera. They were just as excited this morning when they realized that the fish were still here. Lucy tried to share her granola bar with them while Claire tried to get them to play Play-doh with her. Someday, their boyfriends are going to have a tough time finding a present to top this Valentine's Day!

Good Little Helpers

Claire and Lucy had their first babysitting experience this afternoon while we spent some time with their new cousin, Jimmy. He is so very good and cute! While Lucy did not like when I had to hold Jimmy, she and Claire were more than willing to share their McDonalds with him! Such gracious cousins :)

Here Jimmy, have some of my cheeseburger!
Jimmy, this is called a fry. It is very yummy!

(I just loved Jimmy looking at Claire like she is crazy!)

We're in this together

I have a few very cute and endearing twin updates and stories. Claire and Lucy really do look out for one another. I love these girls more and more every day!

Claire woke up from her nap before Lucy did. I could hear Claire over the monitor, playing, laughing, talking to her bear. When the playing turned into yells for "mommy, mommy", I went upstairs to get her. I peaked my head in the door to see if Lucy was still sleeping. Claire looked at Lucy, then at me, put her finger up over her mouth and said, "Mommy, shhh".

A few hours later, Claire fell down and bumped her head. My attempts to comfort her weren't working so Lucy took it upon herself to go in the other room and get Claire's teddy bear to give to her. She then, selflessly gave up her own blankie to dry Claire's tears.

That same evening, Claire was thirsty and asked for juice. She went out to the kitchen and came back in with, not one, but two cups. Holding one up, she said, "Lucy" (well, really, it comes out Shh-shu-she which I believe is her combination of 'sissy' and 'Lucy'). They are quite the pair!
