http://www.thedirtroad.net/family/journal/wordpress How two people became four Wed, 24 Dec 2008 02:31:13 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en [caption id="attachment_75" align="alignnone" width="214" caption="Grace and Erin with Santa"][/caption] Oh well, maybe we couldn't get the girls to smile, but we figured that the fact they didn't lose it and scream the entire time was a win. I'm not sure they really knew what was going on, but the pciture ... http://www.thedirtroad.net/family/journal/wordpress/2008/12/23/pictures-with-santa/ It's Christmas time! We took about 300 pictures today looking for that perfect Christmas card picture of the girls. The girls are becoming such personalities. Last year they could barely lift their heads up at Christmas, but now they are hamming it up for the camera. ... http://www.thedirtroad.net/family/journal/wordpress/2008/12/07/christmas-pictures/ Erin and Gracie had a fun Halloween this year! We actually got to dress them up (last year they were more interested in sleeping than wearing costumes), and we had some fun running around the front yard while waiting for trick or treaters. More Halloween pics on the Flickr page! http://www.thedirtroad.net/family/journal/wordpress/2008/11/02/happy-halloween/ This past Thursday, we ventured up to Dawson County for our annual visit to Burt's Pumpkin Farm. Last year when we went, the girls weren't quite two months old, and were more interested in sleeping than looking at the pumpkins. This year, they are walking, babbling, and running, so we ... http://www.thedirtroad.net/family/journal/wordpress/2008/10/24/punkins-for-our-punkins-part-2/ It's no secret that mom and dad are big Georgia Tech football fans, so it was only a matter of time before the girls made it to their first game. We all ventured out to the Tech-Duke game this past weekend for some tailgating and football. ... http://www.thedirtroad.net/family/journal/wordpress/2008/10/10/the-girls-first-football-game/ So much changes in just a year. Just 10 months ago, Erin could barely keep propped up in the Bumbo seat we have for her. Now, she is known to walk over to the seat if we leave it out and sit herself in it, even though she's ... http://www.thedirtroad.net/family/journal/wordpress/2008/09/26/almost-walking/ It's hard to believe that a year ago we became new parents, but one year later here we are! We now have two one year-olds. We were very fortunate to have both sets of grandparents and several of our friends join us for the birthday. We set ... http://www.thedirtroad.net/family/journal/wordpress/2008/09/02/the-first-birthday/ On fortunate days of serendipity, the girls will both take their naps at the same time in the afternoon, allowing us a little time to get some housework done. But that doesn't always happen. Sometimes one falls asleep and the other wants to play Oh well, that's ok. ... http://www.thedirtroad.net/family/journal/wordpress/2008/08/18/awake-sleepers/ Way back in early 2007, right after we found out we were having a baby (and when we were still blissfully unaware that it was really TWO babies), Jeff and I took a trip to Disney World. While we were there, we indulged ourselves and bought "the baby" a set ... http://www.thedirtroad.net/family/journal/wordpress/2008/07/23/m-i-c-k-e-y-m-o-u-s-e/ This past week, we took the girls on their very first trip to the beach! They had lots of fun playing in the ocean and visiting with Granny and PaPa. It almost seems like the trip was too short, but we are glad to be back home and in our ... http://www.thedirtroad.net/family/journal/wordpress/2008/06/09/vacation/
