Twins... and Christmas parties...

Hey everyone. A quick update on the twins. First of all, we have finally named them! Baby boy is going to be Garrett Steven and baby girl is going to be Paige Denise. We had our 30 week ultrasound yesterday (our 5th one so far), and both Garrett and Paige are doing great. They are about 3.5 pounds each, which is right on target. Unfortunately they're both breech now (feet down) so it's starting to look more and more likely that we'll be having a C-section. No big surprise really. Anyway, here's the 30-week profile shot (yikes... I should have put some lipstick on before this one):


And then tonight was our last Life Group (Bible Study) meeting. Actually it was more of a Christmas party then a meeting. They are such a fabulous group and it has been a hard decision for Steve and I to step down from leading and hosting, but with the twins coming... it was time. It's hard to believe that we've been leading this group for three and a half years now! Each and every one of our group has impacted our lives in some way! Anyway, here's a classic picture of our group from tonight.


One of the highlights of the evening (other than the awesome food) was our annual White Elephant gift exchange. And one of the most hilarous gifts of the evening was definitely the "Jesus Action Figure".

We ended up stealing this particular gift for Molly and by the end of the evening she had Jesus and Cinderella paired up. I just had to get a picture...

Thank you Amy (and Paige) for the picture! Wow you look amazing!!! Absolutely gorgeous! I can't wait to meet my new niece and nephew. These pictures make it more real for those of us not there to share it with you.

As for the Jesus action figure...can you believe I bought the same one for someone?! Though you'll have to tell Molly I never thought to pair him up with Cinderella. Now there's some children who would be amazing!

Love you and miss you a lot. I'm feeling it more than ever as Christmas gets closer! Give Molly a huge hug from me.

Did you swallow a watermelon Amy!?!

Okay that was mean you look fantastic in that photo, no need for lipstick.

I'm excited waiting for the twins to get here!

Wow, I feel so honored your naming your little girl after me! Just kidding. Cool names! Can't wait to see pictures of them when they are born.
