Auntie Kristi comes for a visit and more

Warning - this will likely be a "MEGA-POST"! Sorry it's been so long since we've posted - things have been a little busy around here. Dad/Bobpa came for a visit for a few days for a follow up with his oncologist at Virgina Mason. He had the wonderful news of a clean report and doesn't have to come back for 12 months!!!

This week we had a visit from Kristi G all the way from Sioux Falls, SD. Kristi was my maid of honor from our wedding and my "sister"...we both have 4 brothers and no sisters and ever since we worked together at the Corvallis Gazette Times (Corvallis, OR) we have claimed each other as sisters. The funny part is that people always think we are sisters anyway so it just makes it easier to answer the "is this your sister?" question with a YES!

The twins are growing and progressing by leaps and bounds. They are super funny and cute. Here is a video of the two of them in their exersaucers - Peytine apparently thinks Elijah is the funniest thing on the planet.

Auntie Kristi and the twins:


Auntie Kristi and Watson (who was VERY happy for all of the extra attention!)


Bath Time!!


New High Chairs (They LOVE them and so do we...feeding time is soooo much easier and the high chairs fold up to 7.5 inches wide for quick easy storage...happiness all around!).


Auntie Kristi left to go back home today so we were all feeling sad. To lighten the atmosphere a little Darin was playing peek-a-boo etc with the babies. Elijah was totally in to it and Peytine couldn't have been less interested. Here is a video clip of the fun:


And one last picture for good measure...Elijah was feeling VERY snuggly one afternoon:


Can you believe that January is ALMOST over already???? Yikes!!

I can see why people thing Kristi and you are sisters, Jean. When I saw that first picture of her with the babies I thought it was you! Thanks for posting more pictures, and VIDEOS...that was a bonus! Your babies are soooooo cute. But I guess you already know that.
