Bridget is practicing with her new chompers....she loves bagels! DO NOT put your finger in her mouth!

This is Rowan's favorite toy...He loves to bounce and play with all the toys; especially, the cell phone.

Rowan is sitting up by himself!

Rowan & Bridget are showing off their new skills!!! Rolling over and Rowan is actually crawling a little bit! Aren't they the cute!!!!

Liam got to meet Comet or is that Blitzen? Anyway, he met one of Santa's reigndeer at the Abbott Christmas Party for it's employees' families. I don't know who looks more nervous the deer or Liam. He had a lot of fun at the party; Daddy helped him at the many craft tables they had set up.

Bridgie's New Chompers!!!!

Bridget has been teething a lot lately and so far we have 2 new bottom teeth and 2 more coming in on the top. You can barely see the 2 little white teeth on the bottom, but trust me they are there! Becareful if she grabs your finger because she will chomp on it!

Liam's First Trip to the Movies

Brian & I took Liam to his first movie for his birthday. We went to see Madagascar 2 Escape 2 Africa. Liam thought the previews were too loud, but when the movie finally started he sat still and watched it for about 30 mins or long enough to eat all our pop corn! During the rest of the movie he ran sprints from one side of the theater to the other and jumped on the floor lights. Thank God we were the only ones in the movie theater!

Liam's 3rd Birthday

Liam's 3rd Birthday celebrated on November 21, 2008 in Wheeling, WV at Grandma & Pap Pap South's house. This is his 1st cake of his 3rd birthday! He loved blowing out the candles and opening his gifts. He got a Hot Wheels Track, Gator Golf, lost of cars, a Nerf Gun, and an art center.

Liam loved having Happy Birthday sung to him and blowing out the candles on his cake so much we did it 4 more times!

Here is cake number 2 the week after his birthday. We had a second cake and mini-party so Uncle Jason and Phoebe could share in the birthday fun. Liam got PLAYDOUGH! Overall I think Liam had a wonderful birthday!

Happy 3rd Birthday Liam South!!

We love you!

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, Bridgie & Rowan

I think Rowan may have had enough cereal? What do you think? There were a few scarry minutes where I thought he may explode, but he kept it down!

Just wanted to show everyone how nicely Bridget & Rowan play together. This was just the other night. We put Bridget & Rowan on the couch together to quiet them down and Bridget looked over at Rowan and sweetly smiled at him. Then she proceeded to grab his nose while he in turn tried to eat her hand.

Our Trip to Notre Dame

A couple of weeks ago we drove up to South Bend, IN to visit Grandma & Pop Pop O'Toole. We wanted to take the kids up to Notre Dame before Grandma & Pop Pop move back to Wheeling, WV. We wanted to have photographic evidence that the twins made it to Notre Dame. We had a great time walking around campus and watching Liam run wild! We took some great pictures too...

Liam at the lake chasing the ducks & swans. It was a very windy day and the wind was blowing the water and the birds back onto shore. Liam was searching for any rock he could find to throw into the water.

Daddy & Liam dreaming of running down the tunnel and onto the football field at the University of Notre Dame.

Liam wanted to stop at the bookstore and pick up some light reading! He's going for academic and athletic scholarships at Notre Dame! Go Liam!!!!!

He we are in front of the Library on campus. We are standing in front of Touchdown Jesus!

Our trip wouldn't be complete without a picture in front of the Golden Dome! Go Irish!

Liam

Liam went to Boo At the Zoo as Mr. Incredible! His Halloween costume was a hit in the neighborhood for Trick or Treat. Our little man is getting ready to turn 3 in a couple weeks!!!

I'm Just Getting Started...

Hello All,

I'm just trying something new to try and keep everyone updated on our family. Ever since our family expanded in May we have had little time to email or mail photos of the kids like we used to do before Bridget & Rowan were born. So I will try to manage this blog to update everyone on how we are all doing. The most important thing for me is to upload recent photos of all the kids so you can all see how big they are getting. I will do my best to keep things current, but bare with me I have little free time because someone always needs Mommy or Daddy.
