A Word From Our Sponsors...

A few things to note about this video...

1. This is the word (sound) Spencer says the best, which is why he repeats it over and over and over.... (and yes, this is all the time)

2. He just finished a cup feeding, which is why he's incredibly messy.

3. Waving is a new skill/trick (like in the past week)

4. Life is never ever boring anymore. Like ever.

Artists in Residence

While Mommy and Daddy were working hard, Spencer and Kate were playing equally hard.  On this particular day, they had something to show for it.

Yes, that's right.  Spencer and Kate's first finger painting.

It was the activity during one of Spencer's therapies this week, and of course, you know Kate gets to join in the fun as well!

(No, I don't know whose is whose.)

Crazy Hair Lady

That's one of my affectionate nicknames for my baby girl.  As her hair has gotten thicker and longer, it tends to have a personality that matches its owner.

It fits her well.  Crazy hair lady.

(Can you tell she LOVES bathtime?)

Don't you just want to eat this Crazy Hair Lady all to pieces?!?!

Bring TWO of Every Sort....

With it being Kate and Spencer's first Halloween and really first big celebratory holiday, we wanted to make sure it was something special.  Stuart and I decided to participate in our church's Trunks of Treats and include a Bible-themed trunk.  It seemed a given to use Noah's Ark and bring "two of every animal."

Check out the cutest monkeys you've ever seen. :)

Kate and Spencer are blessed to have a daddy that is handy and optimistic.  With these two charactertistics, you know it wouldn't be Borders Style without actually BUILDING (yes, with wood, nails, and a saw) a boat that would be Noah's Ark.

Noah, Noah's wife, and the 2 monkeys 

passing out candy to hundreds of trick-or-treaters!

 

Happy Halloween, everyone!

(On a side note, I really think I've stumbled upon a Halloween food tradition.  I was pretty pleased with this sweet treat, a Halloween cookie pizza!)

If you know us, you know we cloth diaper our babies and LOVE it.  My favorite online cloth diaper store has a blog that I subscribe to and read daily.

Guess who their guest blogger is today?!?!  That's right.  ME!

Flash Forward

Stuart, while at home with the babies this afternoon, caught a glimpse into our future.  Is this what we have to look forward to, or what?! Nothing like starting a little brother/sister love early!  He snapped a photo (with his phone, hence the blurriness) in the midst of cracking up laughing.

Yes, Spencer is on Kate's back.  Yes, he's pulling her hair.  Yes, she's biting her lip in pain.

Gotta love 'em. 

Wedding Bells

This past weekend, we hit up our first wedding with the little ones.  Our dear friend Callie from college got married and so we got all dolled up and headed to Glasgow.  Now, for the wedding being in the smack middle of Kate and Spencer's afternoon nap, I was pretty impressed with how they did.  Kate did have to be escorted out of the ceremony by her daddy because of her volume level, but other than that, they did great. :)  It was nice to be able to celebrate with Callie and Quentin and connect with some college friends as well!  After the wedding we headed over to have dinner with Stuart's uncle Winston.  Always a great time!  Here are some photos from our fun, but busy Saturday:
