The Scherer's Visit

Pop and Aunt Kimmie flew in to see us and we were so excited! Both Kimmie and Pop were very helpful holding and feeding us! Kimmie was also helpful with the diaper changes (we are not sure how Pop escapes this duty every time). We had such a great time... we can't wait to see them over Christmas!

Our little HOOSIER!

Turkey Day

Thanksgiving was a big time at our house this year. Aunt Kimmie and Pop came in to visit and Miss Em and Gerald came over for the celebration. We had a great time on Daddy's favorite holiday... although we are told it will be much better when we can actually eat something other than milk! Aunt Kimmie spent all day in the kitchen cooking up a storm. During the festivities, Holland let out her first laugh. We haven't heard it since (Mommy's jokes must be getting worse!).

Cute Kiddos

Cole had one too many!

"Daddy, you are a light weight!" - Cole

Is it really possible to have more pictures?

Just when you thought there were already enough pictures of Holland and Cole, we had to go and bring in another professional photographer to snap some shots of the kiddos.

Jenna, of Red, White, and Green Photography, pulled a Godfather and made us an offer we couldn't refuse - and we couldn't be happier with the results. I am sure Mindy will have Jenna on speed dial as the Dutchess and the Cole Train (woo woo) get bigger.

To see the pictures you can click on the link below. Jenna will be providing us with a CD of the pictures. If there are any you want, please let us know.

Aunt Jenn Comes To Visit

Aunt Jenn spent the week helping Mommy and Daddy out with the twins. Mommy appreciated all the "tips and tricks" and she was a huge help. Daddy was excited that he finally got to drink a beer with his sister. Audrey and Leah, thank you for letting your Mommy come visit us. We can't wait to see you in a month. Here are some pictures from the Aunt Jenn Photo Shoot.

Cole is built like the snowman on his shirt.

Holland is looking exceptionally cute in her little red dress.

Now that is a keeper

Hey there Hardwick's, we are moving in!

We had our first "two-feeding" outing today. We completely imposed ourselves on the Hardwick's. Their hospitality was overwhelming and we highly recommend you imposing yourself on the Hardwicks as well.

You want chili, they got chili.
You want vegetable soup, they got vegetable soup.
You want questionable chicken, its yours. :)
You want rum and coke, get ready to walk with a limp.

Two Month Appointment

Holland and Cole had their two week appointment today. Aunt Jenn was there to provide moral support to Mommy while the babies got their shots. The babies said, "ouchie" and Mommy got a little emotional.

• Holland weighed 11 lbs and is in the 50th percentile.
• Cole weighed 11 lbs 5.5 oz and is in the 25-50th percentile.

Hello Neighbors!

Our wonderful neighbors came over for a visit tonight. It was an impromptu celebration that resulted in 6 empty bottles of wine and a few dead beer soldiers. Holland and Cole only stayed at the party for a little while before going to bed.

Hunter is holding Holland. "Tom says that changing diapers is great birth control...but I'll just stick to holding her."













Ms. Emily is reminding Cole that he can't let his big sister push him around.

Mommy Tells A Joke

Mommy jokes, "two men are walking down the road. The first man walks into a bar...the second man ducks."


"Mommy, I don't get it."

"Hmm, that is a pretty lame one."

"I still don't get it Mommy."

"Oh wait, I get it, a bar!"

"Ha"

"HA HA HA"

CMOM Outing and Daddy on Baby Duty

Mindy went to her first Charlotte Mothers of Multiples play date with her friend Kristin and her boys Aiden and Liam yesterday. I can't speak for the ladies because I wasn't there, but I do know that Mindy had the fear of God look in her eye as she told me the stories. Toys were definitely thrown away and I am sure that both Mindy and Kristin are not ready for the kids to walk.

Unfortunately, Mindy came down with a stomach virus on her way home so Daddy was on 24 hour baby duty by himself. Scary thought, I know. The good news is that the babies are still alive. They also watched an obscene amount of football. Cole will be happy to tell you about the spread offense and Holland knows how to stop the triple option. Daddy can't wait for when football season is over and he can pull out the old Wrestlemania DVD's with the babies - that's when the real education begins!

Mommy Takes the Babies to Work

Today we went with Mommy and Daddy to Mommy's work. We met all of her co-workers and everyone thought we were soo cute! We then went out to eat with Mommy's co-workers and we did VERY good. When we asked for the check, we realized it was feeding time. Mommy and Daddy had to stop at a church parking lot to feed and burp us. Hey when its time to eat, its time to eat! We were very tired from our exciting day but one thing we learned is that we love Coca Cola!

Before leaving for her office, Mommy decided to have another photo shoot.

Nothing like a brother to lean on

So innocent...now

"Mommy, I am not in the mood for pictures"

Cole is one smiley guy today

"Hey Daddy, what are you doing down there"

"Daddy is so silly trying to get me to smile"

Mommy and Daddy make us laugh - mostly Daddy though

"Nope, still not gonna smile"

Mommy's heart melts

We barely fit into these outfits. Now Mommy is sad.
