Boo!

Don't be scared!!

New photos!

Piper and Knox enjoy a game watching/going away party for our friends, the Fitzgerald's who just moved to Annapolis.

I've posted the latest pics of Piper and Knox on Snapfish - here is the link to the new album:

Good Morning!

Darn Wolverines

On Saturday we went to a game watching party with the Michigan alums in Austin. Piper was not happy with the result of the game (actually, none of us were, but Piper was the most vocal about it!). Knox is just resigned to the fact that this will be another depressing season for the Michigan Wolverines. Luckily the Longhorns had a better day against Missouri.

Meleys in the Pumpkin Patch!

We took advantage of the cool, sunny weather last Saturday to take some pictures in the pumpkin patch. Here we are waiting for the Great Pumpkin!

Fall is here!

Brrrrr! It's getting really cold here! But don't feel too bad for us, it's supposed to get back up to the 80's later this week :) We've also (finally) been getting a lot of rain lately. But Saturday was beautiful and the whole family went to the UT tailgate this weekend. We all got dressed up in our fall clothes and while the babies were snuggly warm in their blankets, I was freezing by the end of the night! Here is a picture of me with Knox is the Baby Bjorn and my friend Kori holding Piper.

We are 12 weeks old!!

Can you believe Piper and Knox are already three months old?!! Crazy how time flies! Check out the new outfits from my cousin Tom and his wife, Jen. They were in from Houston for the music festival this weekend and brought these. Yes, those are monkey ears on the hoods :) And although Knox looks bigger than Piper in this picture, they are really about the same size (for now!)

Interacting!

Piper and Knox continue to get more and more interactive every day! This week we've begun playing with their "activity gym" and they really enjoy looking at the toys hanging above them and they've even begun batting at them. It's so nice to have a way to "play" with them finally! Not to mention another activity to keep them busy (and awake).

We're also working on schedules this week - mostly just getting a real bedtime set (8pm) and still trying to get Piper to eat enough to sleep for at least four hours. Some nights we're more successful than others!

This weekend is the big Austin City Limits music festival here in Austin. It runs Fri - Sun and Chad and I have been planning to be there for at least some of the days. I had babysitters secured for Fri, Sat and Sun but on Tuesday one of them (who was supposed to sit on Fri and Sat) called to tell me that her son had the flu. Since we are already really paranoid about the H1N1 flu at our house (Dell Children's Hospital in Austin in seeing an average of 325 new cases each day), I told her thanks but no thanks for this week! Not an hour later Chad called to tell me that two people on his staff had it! So Chad has spent the last two days quarantined from the baby, although I did manage to find people to look after Piper and Knox this weekend (thanks Joanne!) So we will be at the music festival this weekend (looking like we'll be in the rain, but at least it's only supposed to be in the low eighties!)
