2nd Birthday Weekend!

We had a great time this weekend celebrating our 2nd birthday with our family in Brewton.

We were born February 23rd but went ahead and partied this weekend.

Thank goodness we had such wonderful weather and were able to stay outside most of the time.

We had a "Farm" party because we all LOVE farm animals.

Our Great-Grandmother made our beautiful and yummy Farm Cake!

A little help from Mom blowing out our candles!

Take a look at our new shiny rides!

Virginia and Jane enjoying cake and ice cream!

It is hard to believe that just two short years ago we had tiny two and

three pound babies, ............look at us now!

The beautiful setting for our Farm Party!

Having fun flying the helicopter!

Broox is all smiles about turning two!

Fun with Aunt Carrie! She married our Uncle Robert in October!

Virginia is inspecting Aunt Katie's earrings!

Katie is marrying our Uncle Marshall this summer!

All of the quads have so many expressions.......here is one of Rainer's!

I'm two and even in a big girl swing! (Jane)

Jane knows all about cameras now and has decided not to look or smile!

We are hoping this stage will end soon!

It is very hard to get all four in a photo with two year olds.

Some of us have minds of our own!

Who Me?

All good things must come to an end! We had a great time with our family and

want to thank everyone for sharing this special time with us!

Bet we had a few strange looks traveling north on the interstate!

Happy Birthday to Broox, Jane, Virginia and Rainer, we love you all so much!

Southern Snow and Pre-Birthday Fun!

Virginia, Rainer, Jane and Broox

We received early birthday presents in the mail from our

good friend Mary. She even got them in our favorite colors!

Turn the music up loud and we can "Go to Town!" THANKS Mary!

(Video coming soon!)

Broox, Rainer, Jane, Virginia and Honey

Southern snow is very rare......not so much this year. This is about our

third snow and it never gets old. So beautiful, but so cold! We are

looking forward to warmer days so we can play outside!

Virginia, Rainer, Jane and Broox

What a special treat! The mailman not only delivers the mail, he also delivers

yummy green suckers to good little girls and boys!

What a Difference a Year Makes!

First Post of the New Year

Jane, Broox, Rainer and Virginia love bath time together.

Broox spent a few days in Eufaula with Annie, Chuck and Baxter.

Rainer loves spending time outside.

Jane enjoys her special cartoon time.

Virginia loves Grandmama's "Yellow Soup" (custard).

The quads' favorite book, Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes.

Broox steering the ship on their new backyard playset.

Pal finally got his time to shine......WAR EAGLE!

22 months

In less than a week the crew will be 22 months old. They are inching closer and closer to two and we are reminded daily. Recently, Rainer drew a masterpiece on our hallway wall, Broox is cutting his 2 year molars and has reverted back to waking up at 5:00 a.m., Jane hates bedtime more than ever and Virginia loves brushing her newly washed hair with her greasy fork each night at dinner. They are beginning to want to do things by themselves, and are often frustrated by what they cannot yet do. They are fast, and our main job now seems to be "coraling" them.

On the upside we are amazed daily with the new words we hear and the way they understand and communicate with us. I love watching them pretend to stir up soup and feed it to us, have an imaginary conversation on a cell phone, clean the table with a rag, or make the truck noise as they push it. They love to play chase down the hallway. They have become fantastic dancers and singers too! I can make out the songs they are singing now. Their favorite are The Wheels on the Bus and Old McDonald.

At the end of the day we are exhausted, but know that this special age will be here and gone in no time.
