She didn't tell me the percentile they're in but she said that they're right in the middle. So I guess that's good.
I still can't believe Connor weighs more than Caleb. That's crazy :)

We had a horrible experience today at the Doctors office. More maybe later about it!
Twins are in bed now and I am off to take a nap too <3>

We had an outing today after staying yesterday.
The Weather was nice, we actually had like 61F here. So we enjoyed it =)

Here's Mr. Connor exploring the dirt :D

So did Caleb, who knows what he was looking at *lol*

Then we stopped at the playground behind our house, it's perfect size for the munchkins - unfortunately it's not the cleanest either. So you just have to pay attention but they love it there..

Connor going wild on the horsey

So did Caleb

When we got home it was bath-time without tears tonight :)

Even Caleb starts to enjoy Bath-time again! Makes me so happy!

It was a fun filled afternoon and my hands are still smelling good from Johnson&Johnson's Lavender Lotion :D

Tomorrow we're going to Mini Club *yay* More pictures to come hehe I have my Aunts camera still. It takes such nice pictures. I need a new one for sure!!! My Christmas Ho-Ho will bring me one. I sure was a good girl this year :)

My Aunt called me today to let me know that she made an appointment for the twins to get there pictures taken at the kindergarten my uncle works at. That was really nice of her. They do take nice pictures. I just hope we will have a 'good' day because the last time we got there 1 year pictures taken it was HORRIBLE! So I am praying :)

Finally back to Toddler Gym after Fall break!!

Yesterday we finally were able to go back to Toddler gym after Fall-break and Chickenpox =)

So we took off, waiting for the bus.....

We're waiting for the other kids to arrive...

We're balancing with Mommy's help on the beams ...

We're crawling up an obsticale and through a hoop

and up another one....

and finally sliding down =)

Besides a couple of Connor's temper tantrums, gym was fun and the twins really enjoyed being back! And by the time we got home they were POOPED!!! Woot =)

Thursday we're back to the Mini Club. YAY! Granma will join us because we're starting to make lanterns for St. Martin, which is coming up in November. We're looking forward to the next 2 months =)

Marco Sky Longhorn Stroller

I believe I fell in love with this Stroller =) I was surfing the net for new strollers yesterday and came across this Marco Sky Longhorn Stroller. It is as big as a single stroller but fits 2 children. Seems perfect because here in Germany the stores sure are smaller than over in America, so we been having issues with our side-by-side Kolcraft Jeep Stroller, eventhough I loved it =) Since our current stroller is ready to retire we might going to invest into this Marco Sky Longhorn =) Me liking it hehehe

RIP Dr. Ponseti

Rest In Peace

We will truly miss you and consider us very grateful that we had the pleasure to meet you and have our son's feet correct by you!!!! Thank you for everything!

So we got the Chickenpox at our house. Caleb caught them somewhere. At first I thought it was mosquito bites but then it started to spread a little more so we brought them in to the doctors and yup, it's the chickenpox. But he must be having a mild case of it - hopefully thanks to vaccinations - because he only got like 7 in his face, 3 on one arm and 1 on the other and they don't seem to bother him at all. Woot! On top of it, he got a cold too. My poor baby. Connor probably will be getting the pox in a couple weeks but we'll be in Iowa then so my mom will take care of him. Connor got a cold too. Hope they will feel better soon. We've been kind of stuck here at home. Today we went for an endless walk and the twins were pooped - so was I =) Too bad we didn't take no pictures. I need to remember my camera much more. I should just carry it in my purse. I need a new one btw ;) Maybe for Christmas.

Otherwise this week hasn't been too thrilling. Monday we had Toddler Gym. My mom went with me and the boys love it. Caleb won't get to go this Monday but I will take Connor. I am really glad I decided to do this activity with the twins. I really have to take some pictures there too sometime. Or make a movie =)

Thursdays we go to the Mini Club. It's fun. This little boy celebrated his 2nd Birthday this last time and then we went downstairs to their gym to let the kiddos run and play. Connor seen this cart he can sit and and Dada pulled him. Caleb wanted to join him but Connor didn't want him too so okay, Caleb's turn was next. When Caleb was done, Connor wanted it again but other kids wanted to go in it too so no problem but Connor thought it was a big issue and he started throwing the biggest fit!!!!!! Laying on the floor, throwing his feet up in the air, arching his back and scream. OMG! Embarresing you ask??? Oh yea! You would've thought he's a single child and doesn't know how to share! Thankfully he eventually calmed back down when he was able to go into the cart again. Oh this child!!! But I love him =)

Later that Thursday night was when Caleb got diagnosed with Chicken pox. So I hope we didn't infected any of the kids at the Mini Club. I am praying. We'll see.......(This picture was taking at my aunts house, trying to be good boys)

Only 14 days left until we leave for Dubuque. I am excited yet really nervous about leaving the boys behind. I am just very afraid that something will happen to us and we will never see them again. I know I need to lay off that thought and I know we'll be fine. I am still going to write a Will! I hope everything will go fine at customs since I used to have a green card and now I am going back on a waiver visa. So scared. Knock on wood everything will go well and have a safe trip!
Jason and I are already making lists on what we need to buy over there. I hope I can find some Spongebob stuff for the boys or Barney books but most important Chicago Bears or Iowa Hawkeyes clothing. We also plan on buying some groceries to bring back with us like CakeMixes, Frosting, GrahamSquares Cereal, Saltine Crackers, FruitSnacks, Mt. Dew!!!!!, Turkey Stuffing for our Thanksgiving dinner and much more =) Thank god we can bring 4 suitcases each weighing 23lbs

The thing I am most excited for is to meet Drew! He's so cute and I can't wait to hold him. And to cuddle Dylan and Dakota again. I am so happy I am able to stay at their house the 8 days. Jason will be staying with his Mom. We'll see how this will work out with the rental car. So excited!

Sooooooooooo I am off to bed now. The nights seem to go by way to fast all the time. We'll be at my moms for supper tomorrow. I invited ourselves hahaha
G'Night!

(pay attention to Caleb's hair hahaha)
