Valentine's Day

I was feeling awful but it didn't stop the girls from spoiling their Daddy with some flowers! Not to mention, Lisa is really getting a hang of the camera. Excellent pictures, Lisa!









Lisa took the girls with her to see the doctor that delivered them nearly 3 years ago. She was AMAZED!

tough week

It has been a tough week. Lisa, in need of many continuing education credits to maintain her license, had to attend a week long workshop here in Anchorage. I took the week off to stay home with the girls. No big deal. I've played Mr. Mom before and Lisa struggled with getting back in to the work rythem again but overall wasn't too painful. What made it hard was me getting sick starting Wednesday night. I woke up Thursday morning feeling pretty bad. Friday was the worst!! I was a pathetic lump on the couch while the girls were running circles around me. Luckily, Lisa's week ended Friday at 3 and was able to come home and rescue me...and the girls.

I've spent the last couple of days resting and recovering and am going to try and brave a night shift tonight. So far, Lisa and the girls have managed to escape my germs. Hopefully that will last.

Otherwise, we've spent the last couple of days watching the Olympics. The girls loved the opening ceremonies and especially the figure skating...as you'll see by this video.

Tomorrow is a big day. Lisa has an appointment with her obgyn. Since I'm working night shifts and will be sleeping, I can't watch the girls. Lisa brought this up with the doctor and she said she'd LOVE to see the girls, since she hasn't seen them since they were born nearly 3 years ago. I'd love to be there when Dr. Wrigley sees the girls for the first time since they were born. I'm hoping Lisa will take the camera so we can get some pictures of that reunion.

Oui, oui! We have ourselves some chefs!

The girls love Ratatoulli! It's their new favorite. They saw one preview for it at the beginning of another Pixar movie. Now they are asking for it all of the time. Here is what we get now.

Another cute movie of the girls.

These pictures were all taken by Lisa. Fantastic shots!

small steps

I need to get back to posting pics and videos. Here's a small step in that direction.

This is a Longaberger tea set the girls got today from their Honey. We had to immediatley sit down and have our first tea party.

quick post

I know it's been a while. I've been meaning to finish Christmas pictures but having a hard time finding the time to sit down and JUST DO IT! So to delay it even further, I'll share a quick video that we took yesterday at the zoo.

It was an awesome time at the zoo. I think we saw 3 other people there the whole time. It was kinda cold (15degrees) but we brought the sled with us in case the girls wanted to take a ride. Evidently, the sound of the sled is similar to the noise of food coming so all the animals were going crazy for us! They were coming right up to the cage and checking us out. I got some great pictures...later for that...here's a video of the wolves playing around next to us.

Sledding with the girls

So far, we had only sled in our side yard. This morning, we took the girls to a little hill. They loved it! It hasn't snowed in a couple of weeks so the snow was pretty packed and fast. We had to start half way down the hill. I tried by myself a couple times from the top and wiped out BIGTIME. Sorry, no pictures or videos of that.

Gearing up.

The epic climb to the top of Mount Little Hill.




High fives all around after a successful run.


Lisa and Alyssa catching some air.


Gearing down.


Katy and I catch a little air on this one.

We stopped by for a laser car wash on the way home. Katy said "My no like it" the whole time. I took a quick picture. Katy looks pretty freaked out and Alyssa looks...unimpressed.

Christmas pictures....finally

Can't sleep coming off nightshifts so it was between playing Call of Duty on the PS3 or updating the blog...so I played CoD until Alyssa woke up. Now, it's time to update the blog.

Girls came out and discovered Santa had come while they were taking their nap and left some crumbs and evidently drank a Diet Coke (not a beer can!).




















I have some more but I think I hit my limit for Blogger for one day. More later.
