My goodness, another week has gone by since the last post. We are such slackers on this thing! Well, let’s see if we can get you all caught up in our exciting lives. There have been several all night coughing parties lately, so mom and dad are rather tired these days.
Allie started physical therapy this last week. A PT comes to the house and basically shows me (mom) some different exercises and techniques that dad and I can work on with Allie. Her legs and muscles are so stiff, so we are working on getting her loosened up so she can hopefully begin crawling soon. She is getting really good at sitting up by herself for minutes at a time. That’s pretty exciting stuff to us!
Both girls now have two teeth each. One is really visible, and the other one is just starting to poke through. Maybe that’s the reason they have been waking up each night around midnight ready to play! Fun times!
We are officially in the midst of stroller Hades. Buying a stroller is a big deal to me. It’s right up there with buying a car or house (okay, maybe not quite up there, but still…). The girls and I get out and about a lot during the week, so the stroller that I put them in has to be functional, small (HA), and lightweight (double HA). I’m not even asking for a trendy, cool looking stroller. Who cares at this point? With twins, nothing is about looks anymore. It’s all about function. If you go into Babies R’ Us, you will see TONS of strollers. Then this one little section of double strollers. None of them have everything we want in a stroller. Dad is convinced that he can design the perfect stroller and market it to all the twins’ parents out there. And ya know, I bet he could. He’s rather crafty like that.
Dad can tell you the official countdown until the Aggies play their first game. Seriously, down to the days, hours, minutes and probably seconds. We all gotta have something to live for, right? Aggie games around here are serious business. You hear that girls? No talking, crying, or otherwise during the games! That’s the time for naps.

Well, I guess pictures will tell the rest of the adventures of the last week, so enjoy:

Allie making faces for the camera. Look at her sitting up all by herself. Way to go!
Not sure why she still has her tongue out...
Allie making more funny faces...
Brooke looks a little guilty of something, doesn't she?
The milk mustache goes on the top of your lips, not the bottom, Allie
I don't know what Brooke is doing here, but she is so darn cute!
Posing just perfectly for the camera as always...
Showing off that six pack, Brooke?
Telling stories...
Allie making more faces...
Better hurry before I fall over...
Allie and Brooke had a play date with lots of other kids last week. They had lots of fun, and sweet Ava shared all her toys with everyone! 
Lots and lots of kids!!
Allie and Brooke got to meet another set of twin girls, Shae and Kaelyn. You can see them here in the picture dressed in pink. SO CUTE!!!!
On Sunday, we went to a "going away" lunch for our friend Brittani (2nd from left). She is getting married and moving to San Antonio to be a police officer. We will miss you!
Britt and her fiance...

Not to be outdone by Brooke though...

Love the new pictures of the girls! They are so cute! Do y'all go to a Bible Fellowship class? We need to get together again sometime!
