How big are they now?

2 weeks old today

Audrey: 7lbs 8.5 oz 21.25inches

Davis: 7lbs 14 oz 21.25 inches

twin birth

I don't know why both links from the previous email go to Audrey, but once you are on the site you can click Search For Baby on the left side and find Davis that way. Or just look at the attached photos!

The best so far has been Seth poking my belly and saying "Go?" (his phrase for Where did it go?)

May be the last pictures of our family of 3!

Hello everybody, I'm just sitting here getting bigger by the minute.
As of the last ultrasound, both babies should be well over 5 lbs by
now! Hopefully sometime in the the next 4 weeks they should join us.
Below you can see some pix of Seth's last days as an only child,
sailing with Uncle Richard, hanging out at the pumpkin farm,
pretending to be just like Mommy who spends too much time in front of
the computer, the three of us dressed up in our prize winning family
themed costumes (yes, Seth is a Wonka Bar with the Golden Ticket
inside!), Seth and Jeff carving pumpkins, Seth as a Giraffe (one of
his favorite words), and finally our recent family portrait. Don't worry, no pictures of the
belly this time, its getting too scary...
There may not be any more pix for a while, for the obvious busy-ness
reasons, but also because I have managed to fill my 80GB hard drive.
(No its not all pix, mostly its music) But anyway I need to get a new
computer, and I'm not sure I'll have the time to do it in the near
future.

Enjoy!

Sometimes the best place to be...

...is in your own backyard. (with cousins, of course)

More Seth, inc. video!

Hello-
I realize it hasn't been very long since the last set of pics, but as many of you know, I have been sent off work by my doctor in order to grow babies. Leaves time for things like pictures. And since these may be some of the last ones I ever have time to take...

Plus I got a really cute video of Seth doing all his animal impressions. View it here: http://s52.photobucket.com/albums/g8/coutten/?action=view&current=Sethdoestheanimals.flv

Anyway, below you will see pics of Seth at Great Grandma's house, playing with the plastic flora and doilies. Brushing his teeth on his big boy stool, riding his rocking horse, and playing with Daddy at Tiny Tumblers class. You will also see two pics of the growing belly. (These were specifically requested by people, the rest of you may avert your eyes :) ) And you can see the ridiculous rate it is growing, as the first pic is Sept 20, and the second Oct 2. So in 12 days...
Enjoy!

Seth and the siblings

Hello Again!

Here's some cute pix of Seth, and I've been asked for pictures of the soon to be siblings, so they are included below. (not sure how cute they are yet...)

See pictures of Seth playing around, then there are pictures of the twins from 2 weeks ago, and then some of each twin from 6 weeks ago. You can make out some hands and noses, and in some of the pics the boy and girl parts are pointed out as well if you look carefully :)

Then there are pictures of Seth on wheels, at Jeff's parents house and in a bicycle built for 4 with his Aunt Laurie and cousins. Two of his 18mo portraits are there, one with me, and the other I like to call his "blue steel" look.

Then the gorilla in the cage, and lastly with grandma and pa at the SD Zoo last Sunday.

Hope all is well with everyone. I will be spending more and more time at home the next few months, so if anyone wants to come by and play with Seth while I watch :) please drop a line!
