Weight Update

Normally, after your six month check up and shots the girls wouldn't need to go back to the doctor until nine months. But due to their small size, Dr. White requested they come in between 6-9 months for a weight check. The stats are below:


Brooklyn - 14lbs 10.5oz

Marley - 12lbs 10.5oz

Still in the 10th percentile and Marley is still on the preemie chart, but hey, they are healthy, happy and headed in the right direction! That is all we can ask for!

Brooklyn has a tooth...

or at least the top of a tooth! It is so cute! So far, she hasn't been too cranky. A couple of nights she has stayed up later than normal but that is it. No signs of teeth for Marley yet, but I bet it won't be long!

Uncle Patrick and Aunt MK!

Uncle Patrick and Aunt MK came to visit from California and met Brooklyn and Marley for the first time! We had a lot of fun! We took the girls to the zoo and the park. My girls went swimming in PaPa's pool for the first time! They kinda liked it. The water was very warm but it still took a little getting used to for them. Once they were in there was a lot of kicking and splashing! I am sure there will be more pool pictures to come through out this summer.

We had a great week and we were sorry to see Uncle Patrick and Aunt MK go! Hope to see them again soon!

Zoo trip with Em and Megan...the first of many!

Some how me and Uncle Patrick, who was in town visiting from California, managed to take all four girls to the zoo one day. Emily and Megan got to feed the giraffes! They loved it! Uncle Patrick had to kiss a monkey...and lucky for him there was a bronzed monkey along one of the walking paths! We were sure to capture this in a photo.

We have zoo passes this year and we plan to spend a lot of time there. My girls love it and so do Em and Megan.

Another Koepke visit!

Grandma Koepke, my biological father and his wife Cathy, and my Aunt Keri - all the way from Alabama, made a visit to the kids last week. Grandma was in good spirits and as far as we could tell was "with us" at the time. Her dementia is getting the best of her but she seemed to have a great time! We took some family pictures, ate a lot of LaRosa's pizza and played with babies for a few hours. Hopefully soon we can make the trip to Orange Beach, Alabama to visit and take the babies to the ocean for the first time!
