More pictures from the wedding

The Patterson Family

Clara and Olivia are getting a little too big for the gym. It reminds Katie of Godzilla and Mothra destroying Tokyo.

Dinner with CHCC staff.

(This picture turned and I couldn't figure out how to get it turned back. ) Katie and Jeremy brought the playpen but it was totally unnecessary due to all the loving arms waiting for the girls.

Lots of pictures, I hope you enjoy them.

Busy Weekend

Clara is all dolled up for the wedding of Lori and Adrian Patterson.

Olivia and Clara meet Molly and Russ. Russ and Patty Patterson are our good friends (Alan and Linda Baker) when we all lived in Modesto and were young couples with young families. Molly is their granddaughter. She is the daughter of Stacy(Patty and Russ's daughter)and her husband, James. Patty and Russ are the grooms parents, too. Confused? Me, too?

Here is Clara checking to see if the silverware is authentic.

Happy grandparents and happy uncle, too.

I think I can see myself. (Olivia)

Bedtime!

The big games are on.

Lovely Olivia!

Pops figured out what that extra skin on grandparent's necks is for: It's a good place for babies to hang on.

Styling girls!

Starting Friday, with shopping and lunch, a party with Katie's colleagues the Hoff family has been on the go. The fun continued with a trip to a wedding and reception on Saturday and on Sunday with the long trip home. The girls are troopers! It was great to see our old friends and for our families to be together even if it was just for the weekend.
Love and God's blessings for all of you.

Olivia, too.
Great Grandma Opal made beautiful quilts for the girls. What a joy!

Sleepless nights for the girls=sleepless nights for all

Some nights they take turns waking up and Katie and Jeremy end up with very little sleep.

All in a day's work(or night's work) of being parents.

Such fun girls!

Twins they are, but oh, so different personality wise!
Olivia is a mover, mover!
Clara is more laid back!

They are learning and changing daily!
