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.

3 minutes for the grandparents

February 22, 2011
Three minutes of typical play time around here. This one is for Nonna, Nonno, Grandma and Grandpa...not sure anyone else will be as interested in this as the parents and grandparents.

Bye-bye Nonna and Godmother

February 21, 2011
We were so lucky to have Nonna and Godmother visit, but it was time to say goodbye.

Multiple Multiples

February 20, 2011
Another day surrounded by family - we celebrated Bennett's birthday a few days early. Here the twins (Josie and Noah) Skype the twins (Annabelle and Juliette).

Baby Blessing

February 19, 2011
We had a wonderful day surrounded by family as Rev. Dr. Josephine Smith and Rev. Nicole Naffaa presided over a baby blessing for Josie and Noah. Godmother Colette Naffaa Puoci and Godfather Phillip Bissada participated in the ritual and helped celebrate the day.

Bubbles

February 18, 2011
Auntie Karina brought over some bubbles and the littles were fascinated.

Standing

February 17, 2011
It didn't take him long to go from kneeling to standing...how do I slow him down? (Yes, he is back in his Valentine's shirt because by wardrobe change #4 of the day, I was reaching for whatever was clean and close.)

Mini Bennett

February 16, 2011
Nonno found this perfect shirt for Noah ("I get my good looks from Dad"), but Noah doesn't only look like Ben, he's also reaching developmental milestones quickly like his dad (I hope he doesn't walk at 8 months!!). Here he is pulling himself up on his knees.
