I am enjoying.....

The toothless talk of this cute boy!

The funny things this little girl says. One of our more recent conversations went something like this:

Madison: Mom everybody has armpits.

Me: Yes they sure do.

Madison: Yep, everyone has armpits and Jason has furry ones.

Oh, she makes me laugh!

And last but not least the smiles and laughs I get from these two. They are growing way to fast! It seems like time goes by even faster when there are two of them!

A doorbell

Madison thinks Dylan and Camryn are a doorbell! We have to agree with her. We think they are pretty adorable too!

City Museum

My family came to visit this weekend and we took them to the City Museum in St. Louis. It is a really neat place and fun for all ages. As you will see in the pictures even the "older" kids had fun!

Riley climbing through the tubes. I am still amazed that he made it through these without getting stuck.

Gavin going down the 7 story slide.

The kids were like little hamsters climbing all over the museum.

Our Crazy Life

Wow! What a month. We have made it through the holidays, finals, a wedding, and talks in sacrament meeting. This month has been such a blur but we have enjoyed every minute of it. Dylan and Camryn are such good babies. They sleep well at night and I think we finally have somewhat of a schedule. Gavin and Madison love their brother and sister and are such good helpers. Every morning Gavin changes Dylan's diaper and gets him dressed for me. Gavin even wakes up during the night when they are crying to make sure I get up to feed them. He is going to make an excellent father some day! Madison likes to hold the babies but tends to treat them like she does her dolls. She is learning that babies like to be held still and not bounced all the time. Mark and I are adjusting to having four children and have realized that we each need an extra pair of hands. Life may seem a little crazy at times but we sure feel blessed for all that we have! Here are some pictures of our cute kids. For those of you who have seen Gavin and Madison as babies the resemblance to Dylan and Camryn is quite shocking!

Introducing

Dylan Thomas Hawk

Born: December 10, 2008 at 9:21 a.m.

5lbs. 10oz. and 17 1/2 inches long

Camryn Hawk

Born: December 10, 2008 at 9:27 a.m.

5lbs. 10 oz. and 19 inches long

Dylan and Camryn are such good babies and we are so happy they joined our family! I had a really good experience at the hospital. I went in at 2:00 in the morning and they were born at 9:21 and 9:27 a.m. I didn't have to have a C-section which has always been a possibility. I feel great and Dylan and Camryn are doing well!

Anderson Hospital puts all the babies footprints on the wall. So here is a picture of Dylan and Camryn's footprints. Gavin chose the spot on the wall. He has been such a big help and loves his new brother and sister.

Update

Yes, I am still pregnant. I am 37 weeks but I measure about 49 weeks. I feel like I am 49 weeks too. I am getting really uncomfortable and I am definitely ready to have these babies. I have been frantically trying to get everything done for Christmas. I am finally ready and looking forward to the holidays! I have been so blessed this pregnancy. My first doctor's appointment was very discouraging. The doctor started off by telling me that twins are double trouble then proceded to tell me all the possible problems when having twins. We haven't come across any serious problems and my doctor said she would be ecstatic if I made it to 38 weeks. Only one more week to go until I get to that point. I have a great husband who is such a big help and I am trying to train my kids to do the same. We are really looking forward to the next couple of weeks to see when these babies come. Keep checking our blog for any updates!
