1 year and family pics

Out and about in Delware! Watching the Christmas lighting!

They are naturals already...this makes me want to cry!

The following pictures are the boys' one year pictures and our family pictures. We found a fantastic local photographer near Delaware - too stinking cute! These were taken back in October when the leaves were changing - they were taken right outside our front door on the campus of Ohio Wesleyan.

Back to Delaware! Lots of New Experiences

Got to see our best friends Michelle, Chris, and their little boy Ben today.

Great to see you guys!

First encounter with a Christmas tree this year...didn't want to touch it.

New high chairs...had to get them since they were climbing out of their

seats that attach to the table. One day we found Avery sitting in the middle

of our table playing with the napkin holder! Yikes!

First spaghetti dinner - yum! (Avery)

Mmmmm! My favorite! (Rory)

Now they drink breastmilk from a bottle...after a whole year of rejecting a bottle!

I'm slowing adding cow's milk to the bottle and hopefully will have them weaned by Thanksgiving.

Stinkers!

Halloween 2010

Avery stole the trick-or-treat basket and is

trying to eat a tootie roll with the wrapper still on. Too funny!

Rory likes Snickers

The basket and their innocent faces...

What? Are we doing something wrong here?

Rory the Lion!

Avery the Bear and Rory

Avery - not too happy because he was starting to get sick :(

Two Cute! I hope these costumes fit next year

and hopefully we can hit more than 4 houses ;)

Visit to Grandma and Grandpa Lenz's House

Rory pushing Avery in the train.

Josiah showing Rory some new tricks!

We built a play pen at Grandma and Grandpa's house out of couches and this wooden bench. It looks like they were put in jail and I'm sure it felt like that a few times to them!

My handsome boys ;)

Saw the doctor on Nov. 10 for their 1 year check-up.

Avery weighs 22 lbs 15 oz and Rory weighs 22 lbs 14 oz.

They are both 27 1/2" tall and are in the 30th percentile for height and weight.

They've been sick with a cold virus, but otherwise they have been super healthy. No ear infections or anything yet...knock on wood! Developmentally they are on track too.

We are very blessed to have these two healthy little angels.
