The Holley Family

Two of my good friends have taken on "Project 365" and have inspired me to do the same. Basically, the goal is to take one picture everyday for a year and to post the picture along with a brief description. It's been quite interesting and entertaining to follow these women's adventures and while I don't anticipate my posts to be as exciting as a new college grad or someone studying/traveling in Europe, I thought this would be a unique way to document the first year of the littles' lives. I can just about guarantee that this blog will not be updated daily and perhaps not even weekly, but I'll give it my best effort to post on a regular basis. My hope is that this will be a popular site for the grandparents, godparents, aunties, uncles, cousins, and friends of the littles and that this can be a fun way to watch them grow.

*November, 2011* We made it through the year, and I thought perhaps I'd try to redesign the blog for the future, intermittent updates. But, this twin mom is going to keep it simple and just keep going. Do not expect daily photos; we'll just post highlights from now on. Enjoy.

Twin Bond

March 31, 2011
Josie and Noah are really starting to enjoy each other's company and they crack each other (and as a result, me) up. If they aren't playing together they often check in to see what the other is up to and when I put them down or when they wake up from a nap, they chat away and make each other giggle. The development of this bond if pretty fascinating to watch.

Big Kid Bath

March 30, 2011
I finally ~~told~~ convinced Bennett that it was time for a double big kid bath and and Josie and Noah had a great time (with no major slips!). Bath nights have officially gotten easier (and more fun)!

Standing

March 29, 2011
Josie pulled herself up to a stand. We were all sitting in the living room and she tried to pull herself up on the coffee table, but gave up quickly. Then, Noah came over and showed her how it was done, so she tried again and was successful. This photo is staged because I didn't have the camera, but I wanted to mark the occasion. It was fun to have Jenniebear there to witness this milestone with me. In addition, Josie's third tooth came in.

Back to where it all started

March 28, 2011
We took the littles and Eddie to SSU to see where it all began. Here, Jennie, Rachel and I are with the littles in front of Traminer, where will all lived together our freshmen year. For those of you who don't know, Ben and I met here our freshmen year. He lived directly upstairs from us.

New people to play with

March 27, 2011
Josie and Noah loved having Jennie and Eddie stay with. We hope that the early mornings didn't scare them away and that they'll visit again soon.

Another Traminer Reunion

March 26, 2011
Jennie and Eddie came up from San Diego for a visit so it was time for another Traminer reunion. Shannan, Scott, Connor and Addison, Jessica and Valerie, and Rach all joined us in Sonoma County. Here, Noah is hanging out with the guys during his first trip to Chuck E. Cheese's, while Josie and the girls follow the big kids around.

No Photo

March 25, 2011
I think I can still count the number of "no photo" days on one hand (?) - not to bad for 6 months!
