Erik painted both Reese and Riley's Names

They look great!!!

The Girls room is almost finished

Erik Wartberg painted Reese's name for us and it looks awesome. He will paint Riley's too to go in their newly decorated room. Annie, Michelle's sister has been a big help since I have been in Georgia. She painted the walls, hung a border and put up Tiki like straw above the windows and closet. It looks really good. Michell went to the doctor today and the girls are getting really big. Both of them are 2 pounds each and are starting to become very active. Michelle has been told to stay off of her feet more now because the girls are trying to come out and it is much too early for that. If I could only get her to stop being such a busy body and lay down the last few months I would not worry so much.

In the new ultrasound that Michelle got today we can see the babies features. It is so crazy but one of them has her eyes open. I will put up the pictures soon. I can't even wait to see my girls, and I bet Michelle can't wait to release them too. It has been a little more difficult for her the past few months with having heartburn and tremendous kicks from double trouble. I will be getting finished with the Georgia deal and heading home to West Palm in the next week or so just in time for the Baby Shower. Can you believe that we will be seeing the little girls in only a few more months.

26 weeks


Can you beleive it is already 26 weeks? With it getting close to crunch time I think we should start really eating healthy for both Michelle and the twins sake. I read an article about the 10 Power Foods!Oooohhh…. Ahhhhh…It was a decent article that said that the following foods are tops for health in specific areas:
1. Almonds
2. Apples
3. Blueberries
4. Broccoli
5. Dark Chocolate
6. Garlic
7. Pomegranate Juice
8. Salmon
9. Tea (especially green)
10. Tomatoes
(The above mentioned foods were listed in alphabetical order so that no fruits, vegetables or food groups were offended)Well… I’ve got to say that, I too, have a list of 10 Power Foods… but it doesn’t look like the one that the so called experts compiled. (compiled… I like that word… it has many uses… “Leroy compiled my firewood with me”)

24 weeks


This picture was taken in Tallahassee at Michelle's sister Elide's house. We took all 4 girls to the Tallahassee Nature Preserve on Sunday to see all of the animals and historic buildings. Michelle got overheated walking around the preserve and complained that her hands were swelling. I myself could not see the difference, but they must have been by the way she was holding them up in front of her all the way around the park. We had a good time but I think the long walks are done for now, especially in the hot summer weather.

Week 23


This is the first picture of Michelle and the babies in Georgia. It has been a tiring couple of weeks for her since she has been watching 4 little girls (3 nieces and our daughter) while they are all on summer break. While they have been in Georgia, the smoke from area forest fires has been really thick and makes it hard to breath. This weekend it poured rain and from the looks of it the smoke is now gone. I have been working some pretty long hours and hope to spend more time with my family once the Georgia Produce deal is over.
