In my attempt to keep up (somewhat) with this blog, I guess I will lump together as many events as I can in one post. What beautiful weather we have had over the past few months! We enjoyed a great day a the zoo, pumpkin patch time and lots of afternoons at the park. The boys are doing well and adjusting to the little ones... Both are great helpers, Reese has really come around and is now embracing his new big brother role more so than before ;). Drew continues to be the eager one to assist me with diaper and binkie runs. Grant and Vivi are growing like weeds, at their 2 month check up, Grant was about 2 lbs bigger than little Miss Vivian. She is a petite thing and so sweet and mellow. Grant, although very sweet and adorable, definitely speaks his mind... He will fuss with just the slightest adjustment of us holding him and has his crying fits early evening. I think Grant is more typical and Vivi is just a very mellow and good-natured little baby. Both babies are great sleepers, so we certainly are not complaining at all. They have been wonderful to us, no feeding or reflux problems (yet) to speak of... However they are only 3 months today as I write this ~ I'm sure we will have our moments!! All in all, things are good and we take it day by day.
I will most likely be writing about the holidays in the next post... All are looking forward to Christmas festivities.... The boys are so thrilled to have Ben, our elf here now. We picked out our tree on Sunday and enjoyed the usual events that Mulhalls has to offer every year at this time. Santa, ball pit, cocoa, cookies, crafts, live reindeer... etc... I will try and capture some of those memories on here very soon.
And... Gabe celebrated turning the big 4-0 on November 12th. We had a fun night celebrating with family and friends... : )

| My mom thought it would be fun to take my picture while I fed both babies at the same time (thanks, mom ;). This doesn't happen often, only when both are frantic to eat and crying. |
