So much has gone on in the past few weeks. We have had more professional pictures with cousin Lucas, snow, ear infections, teething has been a nightmare, the holidays, etc. But I wanted to catch everyone up on the girls first real Christmas. Last year they slept through everything so this time it was much more fun. They got way too much stuff! But we are so thankful for all of it! Daddy was also off for a week so we did some really fun things so there are lots of pictures of that!
I am just uploading 4 or 5 albums below because I just can't find the time to go through and pick out the good pictures! Enjoy!
I just had to laugh. What an amazing difference a year makes! A comparison photo with Santa, of course!
Marley (on the left in both pictures):
Then - 5 weeks old and maybe a whole 4 lbs!
Now - 13 months old and 16 lbs 5 oz.
Brooklyn (on the right in both pictures):
Then - 5 weeks old and just over 5 lbs!
Now - 13 months old and a whopping 18 lbs 8oz.
I seriously forget that they were that tiny just a year ago. I meet my friend's newborn babies who are 7 and 8 lbs and I think they are SO tiny! But they aren't compared to my munchkins. My, my, my how they grow. Makes me a little teary eyed, but we are just having a blast with them walking and "talking" right now! Can't wait see what this year holds...

Below are the first photos that we have had done professionally as a family. It was a perfect fall day and we headed up to Devou Park to capture the colors of a Cincinnati fall! The girls were great and we spent a couple hours in the park while our photographer captured fun moments of us as a family. Can't wait to do it again! Keep on the look out for more pictures of the girls with their cousin Lucas in their Christmas outfits! That photo shoot is coming up!
Enjoy!
So, I know this has taken my more than a week to post but we have been extremely busy! We have decided that I will be staying home with the girls. I will continue to look for a job and should the RIGHT thing come a long I MIGHT take it. Anyway, staying home with two ONE YEAR OLD little girls is a lot more work than ever before. They are way mobile....Brooklyn is nearly on the run at this point and Marley isn't far behind her! Here are a bunch of pictures from their first birthday party! We had the party at Papa and Grams Stuart's house. It was a barnyard theme and they had pony rides from Spanky. Well, the girls missed the pony rides because they fell asleep shortly after eating their cake. Poor things, utter exhaustion!
Enjoy!
Brooklyn is beginning to walk - pray for us!
She has had a tooth for a few weeks now...just one. Brooklyn on the other hand has four on top and three on the bottom. Hey, Marley still has no problem eating everything that Brookyln eats!
Below are a couple web albums of a lot of different stuff. We have had an extremely busy fall and I have been terrible about updating the blog! Lucas' first birthday party was the biggest highlight of the fall so far! The girls also had an early first birthday party with the Koepke side of the family because Aunt Keri came to visit again from Alabama. Enjoy the pictures! I am going to do my best to try to keep up more often. Right now we are planning the girls first birthday bash...stay tuned!
