These Happy Days are yours and mine, Happy Days!!

Max and Molly continue to grow and grow and grow and grow. Their personalities are very prominent and they are happy kids 99.9% of the time. They are sleeping through the night, and eating almost 8 oz every feeding. Their smiles are infectious and it makes being their parents a very easy and fun job. Both kids love to smile, giggle, and inspect every person that talks to them. They love to talk to Lucy and Ebby when they stop by their seats for a visit, and the dogs have accepted them into their pack.

We recently had the kids baptised at our church. Father Tom was awesome during the ceremony and provided great explanations as to what Max and Molly were going through. We are very fortunate to have great God parents for them both, and their lives will be even better having these God parents there for support, friendship, and love.

Susan Metten and Jeff Bone are the God parents of Max, and Paula Bone and Chad Metten are the God parents for Molly. Betsy and I are very blessed to have such great friends to watch over Max and Molly.
Our niece Megan was able to attend the baptism along with her parents Steve and Tammy Bucko. She is growing up so fast is going to be a great cousin to Max and Molly. Her list of things to teach them rivals Santa's list at Christmas.

Cousin Megan rarely let the kids go, and insisted that she hold them when anyone else's arms were tired. She talked to them, told them stories, and read them books. Both Max and Molly were very comfortable in her arms.

I am also very blessed that I am able to share Max and Molly with my grandparents. Bammer Melton got to meet them both over Valentine's weekend and Grandma and Grandpa Woodall were able to attend the baptism. 4 generations of family is an awesome thing and something that I will always remember.


Blake Banks also attended the baptism with his parents Kim and Dan. Blake loves to point at Max and Molly and then tell anyone who will listen that these are "babies". He likes to check on them to make sure that their pacifiers are within reach and that they aren't starving. His eyes light up when he sees Max and Molly and he hates to leave when his parents tell him it's time. We're sure that all three kids will have fun growing up together.

The quick glimpses of spring have us excited for warmer weather (and the boat!!) and we can't wait until Max and Molly can begin exploring outdoors.

Hope all is well with you and your family,
