Fall, Twins, & More Pictures

Here are more pictures of the twins and the late, slowly approaching fall (it's come late this year).

Kailey's first day of 2nd grade:

The new minivan, full of 3 car seats & a booster (but in a different arrangement than shown here):


More of the babies:
Taken within minutes of being born (Beck on left, Reece on right).

You guess, which one is on left & which one is on right?

Dax was great at finding different uses for many everyday hospital items.

Ready to leave the hospital.

At home with Grandma Lisa (Cassidy's Mom).

All four kids with Grandma Jo (Tyler's Maternal Grandma).


The babies like to sleep close:




Beck has become a big, thick, strong baby, which has earned him several nicknames already. More faces & expressions from "Bruiser Beck:"


Just as a side note for those of you who may not know, after the babies were born, the doctors found a hole in Reece's heart, and he will have heart surgery on Nov. 17th to patch the hole and possibly replace the adjacent valve. He has grown in length equal to Beck but is outweighed by a good 3lbs. now. He is pretty thin, not very strong, and has labored breathing, but it is good to finally have a date that this will be repaired now.


Unfortunately the new additions have not been easy for Dax to accept, but he has his moments with them, occasionally:
Dax reading to them while they're asleep in bed.

This picture reminds me of the infamous Michael Scott quote from The Office: "Would I rather be feared or loved? Um… Easy, both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me."


Tyler's 30th birthday:
