Twins 1st Camping Trip!!!

Posing with Daddy!



Nattie B!


Maggie Mae!


Whoo! Hoo! this is fun!



Can you believe she is letting us do this outside??!!

These sure are good Ritz Crackers!


These are cool chairs! But why did Maggie get the UT chair?



Hey Uncle Marty!




The girls did really good for their 1st trip. I can't say that they were any better behaved or any worse than they normally are at home. Sleeping, as it is at home, was still our #1 issue. They actually did pretty good at night but didn't nap much during the day. They are extremely restless sleepers and since I was sleeping with them I didn't get much sleep at all. By the last day I was so tired and ready to be home just to sleep in my own bed w/out babies!!! We had alot of fun but it sure is a whole lot more work taking 2 babies camping. Thanks to Anglique and Terri for all of your help. Dawayne thanks for helping Chet and hanging out with him while I got a little free time. And Marty....who knew you were such a baby lover??!! Glad to have an extra set of arms for holding.


As you can see we got some pretty good pics. I think Terri has some more that I will post later because I am actually in a few of those.

Pic of me and the Girls


I thought this pic turned out pretty good. Since I am actually dressed, w/make-up on and my hair is semi-fixed, I thought I would share it.

Natalie...

She had another renal nuclear scan today and the urologist determined that she has to have the kidney surgery also. He said that she is worse than when she had the test in January. Chet and I were wondering that because she is soooooooooooo grumpy just like Maggie used to be before the surgery. Instead of calling her Nattie B we call her "Nattie BEAR"!!! She acts like an old hungry bear all the time. I was hoping it was just teething but I guess not. We haven't scheduled it yet because I want to wait until school is out. It will probably be sometime in mid to late June.
Please keep Nattie in your prayers. And please pray that her grumpy disposition is due to the kidney prob and she will be a different child after the surgery like Maggie is!!

My cuties!


A little time on the floor! Nattie left and Maggie right.



More play time. Nat lft and Maggs rt.


These two are my faves! Aren't they just adorable! I was putting away laundry upstairs while they played in there cribs. I knew one would cry if carried them downstairs one at a time so I just put them and the other things I needed from upstairs in the basket and carried it all down. HEAVY!!! I won't be doing that much longer.




Dinner wore Maggie out!

They both slept all night two nights in a row!!!

And by all night I mean from 9:30p.m until 8:00a.m. and this morning it was after 8am!!!! Woo!! Hoo!!!! It will be so nice if that nighttime feeding has been dropped.
Natalie is scheduled for another Nuclear Scan next Wed. 5/9. That will tell us her kidney function and how much it is draining. They said if it is the same or better they will just continue to watch it via ultrasound. But if not we may have to prepare ourselves for surgery for her also! So we will pray for results of the same or hopefully BETTER than last time. I can't help but wonder if maybe she just needs to have the surgery too. She is extremely irritable most of the time. And now Maggie is such a happy baby. I kept thinking it was teething but it has lasted for months now. Still no teeth so I guess it could be teething too.
Maggie has another uti. They called this morning and changed her antibiotic. Darn, I thought we were past this. It seems like we take two steps forward and one back.
I have some more cute pics but have to download them from the camera. I will try to get it done this weekend.
Until then....
