we finally have our refrigerator!! (and twins 15 month appt.)

Yayy! Our fridge came in on Saturday- we are so glad. The dented loaner was not keeping the temperature cool enough and we lost a lot of food and accidentally all drank milk that had gone bad. It was so gross!
Hannah and her volleyball team are doing well; they've won all 3 of their games so far. She's enjoying it more than soccer and has made some good friends from her team. We barely see her anymore with after school practices/games and her busy social life on the weekends. She has sleepovers almost every weekend! This has motivated her to finish all homework right away on Friday after school, she's not allowed to hang out with friends until it's finished.
Ethan is working on the second of his top molars and it is not going well. Amber has the first top one but the second one isn't popping through yet so she's been easier going than Ethan lately. They had their 15 month appointment today. Ethan weighs a whopping 24 pounds and is now in the 50th percentile, up from his 12 month appt when he was just over 20lbs and in the 20th percentile. Way to go, Bubba! Amber weighed in at 20 pounds 12 ounces, so she's about 3 lbs lighter than Ethan; she's still in the 15th-20th percentile like she's been. He is 32.5 inches tall and she's 31.5 inches, both in the 75th percentile for height! I took a picture of them on the table before the shots, there was no opportunity for an "after" photo and you wouldn't have wanted to see it anyway. There were a lot of tears. Brian was able to go along today so that was very helpful. Where were all those people that constantly stop me in the store and say "Awww....lucky......I've ALWAYS wanted to have twins"? Next time someone says it, I'll be sure to invite them along to go to their 18 month appointment.

Amber really likes climbing into the tupperware cabinet, Ethan sometimes tries to join her, but she pushes him out! She's has some things to learn about sharing. She's also become very attached to her fluffy blanket and her cow. Ethan doesn't care at all about that stuff and is playing a lot more independently lately. I recently put up our fall/Halloween decorations and they both noticed right away and weren't too sure of the scarecrow on the closet door. In the picture they are pointing at it and talking about it.
