Piper tries a rice cake

Here is Piper trying a rice cake. She is a bit more adept at feeding herself than Knox is (although neither of them have mastered Cheerios yet!). Notice the nice scratch she gave herself during her nap one day this week. Poor thing!

Knox Crawls!

It's official, Knox can crawl in a forward motion as of yesterday! Check it out on the video. I'm sure that Piper isn't far behind she's not going to let her brother leave her in the dust!

Lindi & Matt visit - Part 2

Ok, here are the pictures from Lindi and Matt's spring break in Austin!

I think they had a good time visiting. The twins definitely enjoyed it :) But I know that our weather was a huge improvement over Michigan - sunny and in the 70s every day. They checked out campus and Stubb's for live music and of course we had plenty of Mexican food and bar-b-que! And I think we went to Amy's for ice cream almost every day. We were sad to seem them leave, but it's back to finish up junior year before another summer working in Charlevoix. It's hard to believe that in just over a year, Lindi will be a college graduate!

Eight months old!

Here is the latest photo - the babies are getting so big!

Lindi & Matt visit

Ok, it's been a busy couple of weeks here in Austin! Last weekend Chad and I went out to LA for Helena's big wedding celebration. Those of you who went to our wedding may remember Helena as the officiant at our ceremony. She had a really fun celebration at a restaurant in LA on March 7th and Chad and I got to have our first weekend away from twins. They stayed back in Austin with my Aunt Tracy and her friend, Emily. Or rather, Emily and Tracy stayed at our house with the twins! Although we missed the babies terribly, it was great to have a weekend away. I must admit that I spent a lot of time catching up on my sleep! And I'm told that Knox and Piper were angels all weekend. I'm not sure if I completely believe that, but they look pretty happy in these photos!

Then when we got back to Austin, my niece, Lindi and her boyfriend, Matt, came to spend their spring break with us! I'll post more about their visit a bit later - I hear some babies who are definitely ready to get up from their nap!
