		<title>Snow Day!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last year when it snowed the girls were sick.  It was almost unfair to watch them look out the window longingly at the snow, but since they were only a year old, I don&#8217;t think they knew what they were missing.
This year, however, nobody was sick!  We all took a little walk outside [...]]]></description>

		<title>Belated Christmas Photos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Christmas seems like it was months and months ago, but I just realized that we never posted any Christmas pictures here.  We are such slackers.

Grace loves the kitchen we bought for them.  Here she is dressed up and ready to do some cooking for us.

Erin LOVES Super Why.  It&#8217;s her favorite show [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christmas Tree Decorating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the first year that the girls are becoming aware of Christmas and it&#8217;s been a lot of fun watching them discover things for the first time.  They excitedly shout &#8220;Christmas tree!&#8221; when they come into our living room and &#8220;pretty lights&#8221; when we are driving around and they see houses lit up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Halloween</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We didn&#8217;t take the girls trick-or-treating this year.  It&#8217;s still a little much to walk two two-year-olds up and down the neighborhood.  We opted instead to go to a friends&#8217; Halloween party at their house which means we got to dress the girls up and they got a little bit of candy (mommy [...]]]></description>

		<title>2nd Birthday!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our little girls are now two!  We celebrated their birthday last week at Swift-Cantrell Park where the girls could play on the playground and check out the flowers and bugs in the field.  Thank you to everyone that came out to celebrate the day with us.
Below are some highlights, but here are all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Little Cleaners</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
One of the girls&#8217; new favorite activities is cleaning the table (and the windows and the chairs).  It makes us laugh when they insist on us giving them some wipes and they go to town wiping the table down together. We taking this as good sign that day-care does a good job cleaning things [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Haircut!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, our children have started to look a little homeless lately.  Erin&#8217;s hair has gotten pretty long down her forehead and Grace was starting to get shaggy.  Mom had been holding off as long as possible, but the time had come.

We started off with Erin who was having so much fun with her [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reading and Talking at the Table</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The girls are growing up so much these days!

Last weekend, we put together a table for the girls.  Ever since, it has become the place for snacks and coloring.  Here it looks like the girls are having a deep conversation at the table.  

One of the favorite activities of the girls right [...]]]></description>

		<title>Playing With Each Other</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the unique joys of having twins is watching them develop together and interact with each other.  Lately, the girls have really started to entertain us in how they play with each other.

Gracie&#8217;s always been a &#8220;hugger&#8221;, but now Erin is starting to get in on the action too.  The best part [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Mother&#8217;s Day!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The girls made some presents for mommy at day-care this weekend.  See if you can guess which one&#8217;s Grace and which one&#8217;s Erin.  They pretty much fit their personalities.
Happy Mother&#8217;s Day to all of you with children or expecting children!
