Terrible Two times Two

Adam and Zach are two!

And just look how far we've come.  
 (minutes old)














I was scared to death to hold them.  There they were, two very tiny little boys, but - naturally - perfect.  After nine long weeks in the NICU we were finally able to bring them home.  It's still hard to believe just how small they were then.  

And here we are today.  My Big Boys!


  

























So alike:  They both have big, dark eyes; their curly hair (fro-hawks) has come exactly the same; and both have goofy personalities. My boys are quite the dancers (I think they get that from Dad).  They love music, cars, balls, and Elmo.  They even have their own language.

But so different:  Adam is a ham.  He'll do just about anything for a laugh, whereas Zach will do anything for a hug.  Adam weighs about 26 pounds, has a rounder face, and is slightly taller.  He has always been a little bigger.  Zach is about 24 pounds, and has a longer face.  Adam usually hits milestones first.  Zach has a dimple under his left eye.  

I can't say one is more dominate than the other.  They take turns being the "bad twin".  

They are such characters - talking dancing, teasing each other and tormenting their big sister.  Rarely a dull moment at our house.  

Happy Birthday Adam and Zachy!

More Vinyl Projects

So here are some of my latest masterpieces... haha

This one I didn't quite finish.  

It's a glass brick that I thought I had lots of time to finish before Thanksgiving.  I was going to make the bow all cute, add some flowers, and maybe drill holes for light.  Since Thanksgiving is tomorrow it's unlikely I'll get it all cutesy in time. 


Next is a tile.  Mom wanted this saying and I was just playing around to see what I could come up with.  
If you can't  read it, it says: "When you stop believing you get socks and underwear."

I've told Maren for a few years now if she isn't going to tell Santa what she wants, that is what Santa will bring - socks and panties.  She's never thought it was funny.  

Double paned glass is fun.  
The clarity here is very poor, but I took the picture with my cell phone, so it is what it is.  Don't point out that it's crooked either.  I'm gonna have to re-do this. Where was my laser level when I needed it?
Anyway, this one I layered in chocolate brown and blue (to match my living room).  The blue is kind of hard to read in this picture.
 It says, "together we make a family".

Finally, this little guy (actually he's not so little, he's about 21 inches tall).  Isn't he cute?!  
He is going up in the kids bathroom.  

At least I think he's adorable.




I'm hoping to get off my keester and get my website done soon.  I'll add a link once it's done.
