It's Party Time!

We had Hudson & Hallie's party this past weekend. We had a great time and celebrated the day with another little friend, Cayle, who was born 5 days after Hudson & Hallie. It was a crazy day but we were so thankful to have family here to celebrate (we missed you Toni & Blanchard!). It is still hard to believe that our little twins are a year old now. Time has flown by...

I can't believe it's already been a year since our little twins entered the world! So much has happened and changed for our family since then that I feel like time has just flown by. A year ago today I went to my doctor's appointment for a routine check up and was told when I got there.... oh, you're having these babies today! I thought ... WHAT??? I'm SO not ready. I was going to get my toes done, eyebrows waxed, manicure, etc that afternoon so I'd be "camera" ready when it was time for them! I didn't have my bag completely ready and the camera was at home! But, it was time for them and everything worked out (even though I was grooming myself in the bed after the C-section!).

They have been a joy in our lives and even though there were many days I thought to myself (and even outloud) that it was all too overwhelming, we made it!

Look What We Can Do!!

This week Hudson & Hallie started taking their first steps! Hallie started them off on Sunday night and Hudson followed on Monday. We tried to get their videos. I would forget to do it until we'd tired them out so much, so unfortunately Hallie's video isn't as good as Hudson's. The other girl in the video that you may see/hear is our adopt-a-student, Kendall. She was over for dinner last week when we tried to get them to "perform" again! Soon our house will be crazier than ever!

Way Back When-sday

So, I thought it would be fun to look back and see what was going on in the Jacobus world one year ago. I was a week away from delivering the twins, Brooke was almost 19 months old and our lives were about to change drastically! Some of my new friends haven't ever seen my huge pregnant belly -- so here you go!

Wedding!

This past weekend we went to Houston for a wedding for my friend Bronwyn. It was fun to see and catch up with some of my friends. I am loving that we are closer to The Woodlands area where they are all living. The reception was held at Minute Maid Park which was really neat. We didn't get to stay that long at the reception because we had to head back to CS to relieve our babysitter. George & I love to dance at weddings -but we just didn't get to do it this time.

Floor Sleeper

We can't figure it out, but Brooke has lately started sleeping in random places throughout the house on the floor. Some nights we hear her cough or make some noise and we find her sleeping in our doorway or in the hallway. This morning we found her like this in her room. She's got a bed!! Why is she on the floor?! We ask her and she always says "I don't know". It baffles us. We are thinking about buying her a real twin mattress and box spring because maybe it will be more comfortable for her or we can sell it to her as a "big" girl thing...but honestly I'd rather save our money if she is just going to end up sleeping like this! Hopefully it's a phase she soon grows out of.
