Christmas/NYE/4-Months Old

We've had a busy few weeks. Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. Here's a recap of the past month.

In early December, we went to a party hosted by one of Eric's former colleagues. The babies got to meet Secretary Clinton and Eric's other friends from work. They were so well-behaved (the babies that is) and charmed everyone.

A few weeks after that, we went to a tour of the White House for political appointees. We questioned whether bringing the babies was a good idea or not, but they did a fabulous job from start to finish. Fletch loved all the lights and people, and Piper slept through the whole thing.

As Christmas neared, the babies got to meet Santa for the first time. As most babies do, they cried when they sat on Santa's lap. Why is Santa such a scary guy for babies and little kids?!? Maybe it's the beard?

When the babies were visiting Santa, they must have asked for a fantastic Christmas because that's what we had. We celebrated with Eric's parents and my mom and Danny. The babies received so many adorable gifts, and we all just had a terrific time.

Now, the year is coming to a close. The last photo on here is from today--New Year's Eve. The babies are 4-months and 1 day old. They had their 4-month well visit yesterday, and they are doing great. Fletch is 15lbs 3oz and 24.75 inches tall. Piper, our peanut, is 12 lbs 8 oz and 24.25 inches tall.

This has been a roller coaster, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I have wonderful family and friends, including an amazing husband and adorable babies. Let's hope for more good things in 2011.
