Goofy Grandparents


Grandpa Chuck and Grandma Bonnie came up in December to help us move into our new house in Ohio. After a long day of hard work the grandparents and Shelby and Samantha hang out on the couch.

The dreaded winter is finally over.... (we hope)



This was our first Winter in Ohio and boy was it a rough one. We had snow on the ground from the first week of January until about the first week of March. It has warmed up quite a bit now though. We were here for a State of Ohio record low in the month of February. The entire month of February it might have gotten above -20 degrees once or twice! The girls enjoyed the snow but i didn't enjoy shoveling it! But its all over now.... we hope!

Identical Twins in the forecast


We are about 22 weeks along so far and just now found out we are having identical twins. We were shocked and excited but later found out that we are having mono/mono twins. This means that the twins not only share the same house, but they share the same room inside that house. This can be particularly dangerous because there is nothing separating the babies and it would be easy for the twins to get the umbilical cords twisted around each other. We are going to see a specialist next Friday to see what our options are. Most likely Jessica will have to be hospitalized from about 24 weeks until the end of the pregnancy to ensure the babies safety.
