Growing, we do it everyday!!!

So the twins went to Arkansas Children's Hospital today for a check up. Great facility I must say. They have a Ronald McDonald house across the street and we stopped to donate some items that they have listed on their wish list in honor of Manda, Jason and Ada and in memory of Aleah and then off to the doctor. They gave the twinies little hospital gowns to put on and then they got their checkups. Peyton weighed 16 pounds 9 ounces and Katelyn (my little "Chunk Chunk) weighed 17 pounds 9 ounces. Both girls were 2 feet 2 inches tall! HA HA While there they got their flu shots (or the first round) and then we sat and talked with the new pediatrician. She is very nice. Kind of young and very pretty so I must remember not to bring Clint because he would be thinking of reasons to go back all the time!!!

We finally got our Christmas tree up and our house as decorated as it is going to be I guess. We have NO presents under the tree yet (Oh we have two, one for each girl from my parents) I am a big procrastinator this year. But we are getting there. This Saturday, the girls will meet Santa for the first time. Then we are venturing to find cute stockings so that we can make the girl's their First Christmas Stockings complete with their hand prints and names. I am very excited because this was my super creative idea! HA HA

Last Saturday the twins and I came to watch them light the lights at our capital building. The night was complete with a visit from Santa and fireworks. I am not quite sure how fireworks and Christmas fall in together but I am sure they must if these people from Arkansas do it! So the state photographer captured with a photo plus I got some better ones on my camera at home.HA HA

The custody thing is OK at the moment. Mollie will be coming to visit December 30th thru the 6th of January then we are back in court on the 11th. I am trying to convince her dad that she should stay for that week but he "has decided yet". I never thought I would have to ask when my own child could come visit. IT SUCKS!!!!

Glad you people in Virginia got snow! Lucky!! We won't get the "wintery mix" until January but bring it on! A paid day off for me is a good day!

Ugh, I don't envy you the situation. Don't know if I could "ask" permission. Grrrr. Thanks for the donations!
