Happy Half Birthday Kaelyn & Shae!!

Happy Half Birthday Kaelyn & Shae!! Wow, it's so hard to believe that the girls are 6 months old!! They are growing up so fast & bring so much joy to our lives! We have definitely been DOUBLY blessed, no doubt about it! The girls have had a lot of firsts lately & are having a blast! They have both sat up by themselves for the first time & discovered a whole new view! What fun! We have introduced sippy cups that they absolutely LOVE! We put a little bit of diluted apple juice in & they just can't get enough! We introduced rice cereal this week & both girls actually did very well the first time. It got a little messy, which was to be expected, but they seemed to enjoy it!

The girls had their 6-month appointment and they both got a great report! Kaelyn is right at 15 lbs and is 25 1/2 inches in height. Shae is right at 14 lbs and is 24 1/2 inches in height. Dr. Kim said he could tell they were healthy just by looking at their chubby cheeks! They got their shots, but Mommy gave them Tylenol before to ease the pain. Both girls slept their 12 hours as usual and seem to be feeling much better!!

Hard to believe that in just another 6 months, the girls will be 1 year old! We are enjoying every new discovery & milestones they meet!

First Christmas!! 6 months old

 

We celebrated Christmas with the George family on December 15-17 in Spring, TX. We had a wonderful time of family fellowship at Mama G & Papa G's house. Kaelyn & Shae enjoyed the company of their very entertaining cousins, Kylie (4), Macie (2), and Cannon (almost 2). They got lots of attention & had a great time! The girls received lots of new toys & clothes from everyone. They are definitely enjoying their First Christmas Holidays!!

Happy Birthday Mama G!

The George girls and Mama G

We celebrated Mama G's birthday at Carrabba's Italian Grill this past Saturday night. She thought we were all just meeting up for a casual dinner, but to her surprise we had this dinner planned for several weeks in advance! She was shocked when she saw the balloons, birthday cake & presents just for her! We gave her a special framed picture of all of the Grandkids which she absolutely LOVED! We hope she had a wonderful time, she means so much to all of us & definitely deserved to have a great birthday celebration!

So much to be thankful for...

Thanksgiving 2006

We truly have so much to be thankful for this year! We have been blessed beyond measure with two precious little girls & cannot even begin to imagine our lives without them. We have been given a solid foundation in our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ and give all credit to Him for everything we have. We are so thankful for our families who provide love & support on a daily basis. I pray that we will always remember to have thanksgiving in our hearts!!

How 'bout them Aggies??

How 'bout them Aggies?? For the first time in 6 years, the fightin' Texas Aggies defeated t.u. yesterday by a score of 12 to 7. WHOOP!! Kaelyn & Shae sported their Aggie attire & cheered those Aggies on to a big victory! Let's just say that Daddy will be on cloud 9 for at least a year! GO AGGIES!!

5 Months Old!

5 months old - Loving their first dolls, bumbo chairs & exersaucers!

 

4 Months Old!

The girls are now 4 months old & growing like little weeds! Yesterday, we took them to the Pediatrician for their 4-month check-up. Kaelyn now weighs 13 lbs, 6 oz. and is 24 1/4 inches long. Shae is up to 12 lbs, 12.2 oz. and is 23 1/4 inches long. It's so hard to believe they were both once just a little over 5 lbs! Praise God for a heathy report for both girls!

Both girls are really enjoying their tummy time more & more. Both have rolled over from their tummy to their back & Kaelyn has now figured out how to roll from her back to her tummy! She loves it! Shae would rather just lay on her back, no interest in rolling over to her tummy just yet. Can't wait to see what the girls discover next!

Baby Dedication Sunday

 

This past Sunday, Shae & Kaelyn participated in the Baby Dedication at Prestonwood Baptist Church. A baby dedication is made up of several important components. First is the recognition that the child we hold is not ours, but God's. Babies are not accidents, mistakes, or even the outcome of our choices. The babies we hold today are true miracles of God's creative power. These lives, with all of its uniqueness and potential, are gifts that God has given us. Every child is a part of God's plan and purpose. A baby dedication is not just about the baby, it is, in reality, a parent/child dedication. God has given us a gift! But this gift is also a responsibility, a challenge, encouraging our dependence upon Him day by day. This was a time to recognize and embrace our spiritual responsibility that God has given us for our two precious baby girls.

What great meaning behind this dedication ceremony! While it was definitely a busy and hectic day, we all survived and enjoyed a wonderful day full of celebration and family fellowship!

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

Jesus said, " Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14

Go Aggies!

We had a great time watching the Aggies BTHO Kansas last weekend! WHOOP! We were all decked out in our Aggie attire & celebrated a big win for Texas A&M!
