Some pictures from tonight.....
While outside Kristen waved at all of the people walking by. They sure love being outside and it's funny how distracted they get by the smallest of things. They want to pick up every rock, every stick, everything they walk by. 
Right before bed they both decided to kiss "the girl" in the mirror. It was super cute.
I'll be home with the girls tomorrow since my Mom is leaving for Las Vegas. We might go to the new outlet mall and shop for more shoes....fun stuff.
We can't keep up with her here.....
Sarah checking out an old bouncer that we kept at my Mom's house.
The girls are growing up so fast and it seems every day they can do something new. They are incredibly fun and my heart just wants to burst because I love them so much.
Big news ~ last night Sarah took her first steps. This is huge for her! Sarah has never been as strong physically as Kristen and it's taken her longer to bear weight on her legs, to crawl and now walk. She's tried really hard but she just didn't have the physical strength. Last night she took 2 or 3 steps and it was amazing to watch her. This is the little girl who was only 4 lbs 10 oz the day we brought her home from the hospital......wow, has she grown up. I was just so proud of her. For the last several weeks she's been walking behind her toy pushing it around the room and when she would get to one side of the room she would just look back and smile. The smile told the story.....look at what I can do! She wasn't able to let go but you could tell she was certainly ready to. She gave me that same smile last night when she finally did it! She was so excited and I was too.
You may remember that I got Joe tickets to see the Eagles in concert for his birthday gift. It's been several weeks since the concert but we went with Danyelle and Terry. The show was fantastic! I'm so glad that I went (even if it was a Monday night in San Antonio and it took me 2 days to recover from the missed sleep).
A couple of weeks ago the girls went to Kadey's 3rd birthday party, which was a luau themed pool party. Kadey had a lei and a grass skirt for each little girl at the party. It was a super cute theme and a perfect age to do it. Most of the other kids there were around 2 or 3 and it was so much fun watching the little girls playing in the pool and interacting with each other.
The older the girls get the more fun we have. They are so active and into everything. Kristen is practically running now and Sarah is walking so well behind her push toys. She's very close to letting go and walking on her own. It's amazing to think how far they've come since they were 5 weeks premature. They have done such a fantastic job catching up and I'm just so proud of them.
We didn't have our camera at the party but we took a picture of them wearing their leis when we got home. 
My Mom treated us to a weekend at Port Royal in Port Aransas over Labor Day weekend. Both of my brothers were also there so we had two condos for the weekend. The resort wasn't packed like it could have been and I'm assuming some people cancelled due to Hurricane Gustav. Luckily, the weather was perfect all weekend for us. The girls loved the pool and enjoyed going to the beach. We didn't spend too much time at the beach but long enough to let them play in the water for a bit. We also celebrated my Mom's birthday while we were there. My brother even got a birthday cake and chocolate covered strawberries. We had a very nice long weekend!
