Oh golly, shots a plenty
Wednesday, December 31st, 2003Yesterday the girls had their 2 month check up and 4 shots each. I am glad that they will be protected from illnesses that I could not imagine them contracting but two little girls each receiving 2 shots in each leg is a lot of crying and pain. They seemed to be doing fine until [...]
2 month well visit
Monday, December 29th, 2003Tomorrow is the girls’ two month well visit to the doctor. I am nervous about the amount of shots that the girls will have to endure and hoping that they do not have any side effects. But, I am excited to see how much they have grown. It should be and interesting visit. My favorite [...]
The girls get a pony!!!
Thursday, December 25th, 2003We had a wonderful first Christmas as a family. Bill and I can’t believe our luck at having these two wonderful blessings this year. They have enriched our lives and made us better people. We did not have much to ask for this year since we had already received the greatest gifts we will ever [...]
Trial by Fire

I had incredible trepidation since I had only previously watched the two girls for perhaps 45 minutes or so, but [...]
The News
Friday, December 12th, 2003Poor little Kimberly is sick with some virus (don’t worry, we’re all over it with her doctor) and Annie is inexplicably not catching what’s she’s got. Annie just slept the entire night away—eight hours—and I’m so proud. I’ve got to get ready for work, so that’ll have to do for now.

Kimberly was also weighed and she’s at 11 lbs. 8 oz. Annie was given a perfect bill of health. Kimberly has been throwing up irregularly the [...]
Letters to the girls
Monday, December 1st, 2003I have started to write diaries for each of the girls. This is something I hope I can keep up on as I know they will be treasured by the girls as they grow up. I write to them as often as I can expressing my feelings about this particular stage in their lives. I [...]
