First Trip to the Beach

Since we live in a beach town, I figured we should eventually take the girls to the beach. My college roommate Kristin came to visit so I thought it would be a perfect time to try the beach out. The girls lasted a little over an hour which for them is pretty long. However, they wanted me to play with them and hold them so I was under the umbrella the whole time. Needless to say I am still very pale! I wouldn't say it was a successful trip to the beach but it wasn't a horrible experience either. Here are a few pictures from our adventure!




Since the first trip wasn't too bad, I decided to try another trip to the beach, this time with Alan. Right when we got there a big wind blew tons of sand all over Lily and she started crying. And so that meant that Grace started crying. We left immediately and were there for not even 5 minutes. I don't think we will try another beach adventure for a while.

Bows!!

I had to share these pictures of the girls in their new headbands. TOO CUTE!!

Father's Day

It was Alan's first father's day today!! He had to go to work, but the girls and I (ok really just me) made him breakfast and sent him off with a box full of his favorite cookies. That night we cooked some yummy steaks on the grill. It was a really nice dinner which included some of his favorite foods. We ended the day with a bunch of gifts for him to open. I think he had a wonderful first father's day.

Four Months

Lily & Grace are four months old. Its weird because the days seem to go so slow sometimes but yet I can't believe its already been four months since they were born. We went to see the doctor for their four month check up and she said they are doing great. Lily weighed 13 lbs 11 oz and Grace weighed 13 lbs 6 oz. Lily is now bigger than Grace - I guess she had to live up to her role of being the big sister (if only by one minute). They both are 23 1/4 inches - my little shorties!! Lily & Grace are in the 50th percentile for weight and the 25th percentile for height.

One Year Anniversary

One year ago today, Alan & I got married in Dallas, TX. I can't believe its already been a year. Its been a year full of A LOT of changes - most notably the arrival of the twins. Its been a little chaotic but still has been a great year!

Alan & I celebrated by going out to dinner in Southampton. We dined at the Plaza Cafe where the chef at Alan's club is good friends with the chef. So we were treated like VIPs and received a lot of free little tastings and appetizers. We tried a lot of different types of food we have never had before. The food was amazing and so was the evening. A perfect one year anniversary!!!

Twins At Play

As the girls get a little older, they are starting
to enjoy playing more and more. He are some
recent pics of Lily & Grace playing on their
play mat. They really enjoy playing on this -
although it only lasts maybe 10 minutes -
Baby ADD at its best!!!

Mother's Day

This was my first Mother's Day and Alan & the girls made it very special. Although Alan had to work during the day, we were able to celebrate at night. We went over to a friend's house (Jason & Diana) for dinner. They have a 4 month old daughter. It was nice to interact with adults! Grace did cry most of the time which was pretty stressful but that's the norm in the Miller household at night time.

Alan & the girls got me wonderful presents including a beautiful necklace. It has a pea pod charm on it with two pearl "peas" for my beautiful girls, Lily & Grace. It will always remind me of my two peas in a pod.
