to catch everyone up

Alright, so as most of you know, I am not a blogger. First, I barely have time to shower every day, second I don't get it. Seriously, I had no idea I was this computer illiterate till all this blogging started. So with the help of Ashley Owens I have started my blog. Who knows how often this will get updated but I will certainly try. To quickly catch everyone up we had twins, as you can tell. They are almost six months old and doing very well. It came as quite a shock to Bubs and I but we were so thrilled and excited and beside ourselves that we were lucky enough to get a boy and girl. They were born on August 9, three weeks early. Both were as healthy as could be and even came home with us. Tenley was born first at 12:51 pm and weighed 5 lbs 1 oz. She was as tiny as could be and so absolutely perfect. Every parent will say that about their kids but the feeling is so incredible when it finally gets to happen to you. Tenley is such a girl and a bit of a diva. Her giggle is hilarious and she loves faces. She will play with your face for hours and is such a daddy's girl. Jaxon was born second at 12:52 pm, that's the beauty of a c-section (one minute apart), and weighed 6 lbs 4 oz. He is certainly a boy, a little chubby and so happy. He has such a huge smile and is constantly smiling you think his mouth would get tired. He is definitely a mamma's boy a.k.a. great nurser. They are both rolling over tons and would love to crawl if they could. Tenley is going through a phase of loud shrieks. Wierd but hilarious.
