Look into my eyes

Jon and Clara having an afternoon siesta.
Clara and Olivia have more time when they are awake and we get to see their eyes. They look around and notice people when they come into room. Everyday is a new adventure and watching them change is so fun. They are the miracle girls.

Bathtime

Olivia loves her bath.

There has been progress made on the house.

Clara is having a nice relaxing bath.
Arms hooked and sleeping

These are their nighttime sleeping sacks. They are safer than blankets. A lot of things have changed in the world of babies in the last 30 years. (note-Clara is holding Olivia's pacifier in)

Quote of the Day:

Home is a shelter from storms-

all sorts of storms.

Shorts weather

Clara looks around while Olivia gets a little more sleep.

Sweet little faces

Shorts with room to grow

Aunt Esther gets in some holding time with Clara.

Quote of the Day :

A smile is a light in the window of

your face that tells people that you're home.

A typical day in the Hoff household

Dynamic duo.
Laughing Olivia
Cuddly Clara

Sold!

Tummy time usually turns into sleepy time.
Olivia had an upper g.i. done today. We will have to wait for the results. Not every time she eats but a good many times she struggles with her bottle. Time is flying by. The twins look so strong and healthy. Please keep our family in your prayers. I hope everyone is having a refreshing, fun summer.
Quote of the Day:

A perfect Summer day is when the sun is shining,

the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing

and the lawn mower is broken.

Swing time

Olivia and Clara take up much more room in their swings now.
Sleeping side by side with their pacifier friends.

The world is a playground and life is pushing my swing.

Our house is a very, very, very fine house

In one fell swoop the Hoff family outgrew their home. The obvious fix is a new home.

God willing in late September, they will be moving into this home just a few
blocks away from their current home. Uncle Jon is buying the Monaco home so it is a win, win deal.

The girls are looking stylish in their new outfits from Gramma GeGe.
They look so cute in their skirts.
Letting no grass grow beneath their feet, Katie and Jeremy and Clara and Olivia are off on a new adventure. We pray for God's blessing for the move and the new home.

Quote of the Day:
It takes hands to build a house but
only hearts can build a home.

Clara and Olivia are just hanging out.
Fun was had by all. The twins were still at Stanford when Colleen and Kristen saw them last. What a big change from then to now.
