Easter, and more babies

Life in the Davis household has been cruising by. I can't believe it is already April. I've been slow getting up Christmas pictures (the last post). But in the past four months we closed on our new home, had twins, built a fence (with the help of our wonderful family), painted our living room (with the help of our wonderful family removing wallpaper), had Easter, Christmas, two baby blessings, moved (with the help of our wonderful family), and generally survived (with the help of our wonderful family). Are you seeing a theme here. We are so grateful for all of the help our loved ones have given. We are so blessed to be so loved. Right now the days are long, but moving so very quickly. Thankfully our Sammy adores his siblings and the babies are almost sleeping 8 hours at night. Wahoo!

 This is a common sight in our house. Sweet babies sitting in swings and bouncers. Not enough hands!


 Building a swingset. Sam is going to love it. You know, when we finally get through the 65 pages of instructions to finish building it. 





 The Easter Bunny visited our house! 



 Finding eggs with daddy!


 Getting ready at the Easter egg hunt. 
 Not the best picture, but they were being so cute together. 
 Love this little cheeser. He was excited to gather more eggs!

 Sam ran out so fast that he was the first one out. But, then he just stared at the eggs in the grass and didn't quite know what to do. Daddy had to go help. 

 Lots of eggs!
 Showing off his prizes from the egg hunt! We had fun.

 Coloring Easter eggs!

 Sweet babies relaxing together after a bath.
 Grandma Davis and Charlie fell asleep after a long day of putting up a fence.
 Lots of Grandma's visited for the baby blessings. Grandma Davis, Grandma Kiesel, and Great Grandma Beal.

 We are so in love with these kids. Seriously how cute are they? We are more than blessed.

 Great Grandma Beal was so excited to hold the babies. 
 We loved having Grandma and Grandpa Kiesel here for the blessing.
 Sleeping beauty. She is such a good baby. :) 
This sweet boy is full of smiles these days. We just adore him.

 Four generation picture. I am so blessed to have such a beautiful family.
 Grandpa Kiesel and Grandma Davis (not pictured), put up this fence for us. We are seriously so blessed to have so many people who love us. Those two are such hard workers.

Christmas, babies, and a whole lot of catch up

 Dity is so good at opening presents. 

This boy was so overwhelmed with the quantity of presents. Santa did a little too good.

 We love this boy so, so much! Rawr!
 Sam carried this digger around with him for weeks. 


Ready for snow! 
36.6 weeks (just 1 1/2 hours shy of 37 weeks--we made it to our goal!) 
 Just before the c-section.

 First time holding them. I'm one proud mama.

 Awesome daddy!
 Sammy's first time meeting the babies. He thought they were his. "My babies?"

 Love these boys.

First family pictures. 

 The first night they were home, they wouldn't sleep separately, so we ended up putting them in a laundry basket to sleep together. They slept like that for two weeks.
 Sammy loves his siblings.

 Grandpa Kiesel working on moving us into our new home (I wish we also had pictures of the rest of my awesome family. They moved every box for us while we were in the hospital. We are so blessed.)



More pictures to come.  . .
