One Shot

There is not much going on in the Greene household. We are getting ready for Thanksgiving. It will be our first time not being with family. In fact, Andrew and I have never spent Thanksgiving or Christmas at our home. We have always been in Indiana or Knoxville with family. Oh, I guess we were in Spain one year for our honeymoon for Christmas. We are eager to start some of our own traditions but we will really miss our families.

I am going to post a typical photo shoot when we are trying to get a good picture of the boys together. They got these shirts from our beloved neighbors and friends Mark and Linda when they went to Europe. They saw Wicked and found these and had to bring them back for the boys. I have Wicked to read but I have not read it yet. Apparently, it is about the Wizard of Oz characters and particularly the Witch. If you remember, the witch it green so that is why the shirt says what is says. If only there were another "E" on the end. Actually for this photo session it should say, "Greene babies drool." It seems like when we get a good picture of one the other is looking away or starting to fuss or in front of his brother. The other big issue is movement, They just don't like to sit still. These pictures are just a few of the 50 or so we took. In fact, Andrew got distracted and took a few of Harp while I repositioned the boys and settled Gavin.Thank God for digital photography! Finally, they were both so wet that there was no way we were going to get a good picture and the first one turned out to be the best. There is always next time! (Sorry the last one is sideways, the boys were crying so I didn't have the time to change it.)

I still don't think they look alike. Andrew and I were just talking last night and we don't even think they look like brothers sometimes. We do know they have a mix of both of us though. Gavin has my eyes but everything else is Andrew and Drew has Andrew's eyes and everything else is like me. It is neat how God combined the two of us to make such perfect little beings. Of course we are a little biased. Can you believe they are almost 6 months old?

They are starting to really mature too. They reach for everything and of course it goes directly in their mouth. They also babble and now Drew has discovered his squeal. I was talking to Gramps (Grandpa Replogle) the other day and Gavin was screeching. Dad said you don't even here that do you? I think I replied hear what?

Speaking of talking they are talking to each other in their crib as I type so I better get on with our day. I love it when they wake up in good moods! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
