NEW BLOG!!!

2008-02-03T00:48:00.000-06:00

Ok,there's a new blog in town. Click on on over to macdrummer.blogspot.com I'll be using Picasa to get pics of the family up there. I've also started working on a googlepages site of the same name.

By the way, don't comment here. Comment there!

The Comic Life of Noah and Benjamin

2007-08-16T22:26:00.000-05:00

Nothing necessarily major, and a couple of pics I've already put up, but this is a comic page I made with ComicLife, just messing around really. Maybe I'll start posting comics (in all my free time). Enjoy!

A Few Summer Pics

2007-08-05T22:34:00.000-05:00

I finally got a chance to grab the camera one Sunday afternoon after coming home from church. These pictures make the boys look a lot older than 14 months.

Benjamin cheesin' it up, as always.

And here's a great smile from Noah.

Noah being silly.

Benjamin loves to sit and play with his toys.

Noah with his Superman hat. What? You didn't think he'd be wearing Spiderman did you?!?!

I Know, I Know

2007-07-07T01:06:00.000-05:00

Yes, it's been a long time. And yes, many things have happened. The boys are WALKING now, and have been for almost a month. We took a little trip to the beach recently and managed to get a few shots. The boys weren't too crazy about the ocean, but sitting in the sand was ok. At least for a little bit. Enjoy the pics, hopefully this will be a new start. :-)

Here's a shot of the whole family. Still seems strange sometimes to see the whole family together in a picture like that.

A little "peek-a-boo" in the hotel room.

Benjamin with a cool cowboy hat.

Noah cold chillin' in the sand.

If those boys don't start looking more like their mama they're going to have a tough life.

Something Special

2007-01-22T22:45:00.000-06:00

There is something very special about the relationship a son has with his mother. To know that I and the boys are so richly blessed to have Emily in our lives humbles me beyond measure.

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies...Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her: Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Proverbs 31:10, 28-29

8 Months Old Today!!

2007-01-22T22:30:00.000-06:00

It's hard to believe, but the boys are 8 months old today. What a blur it's been, and I'm sure it only gets faster as they get older.

Bigger and Bigger Every Day

2007-01-15T19:54:00.000-06:00

It's hard to believe that in one week the boys will be 8 months old. Words cannot describe how blessed we are.

I wonder if they will listen this intently to Mommy and Daddy when they get older.

Benjamin showing off his teeth. Both boys have two on the bottom, one on the top and another on the way.

Taking a break from playtime to smile for the camera. Playtime is actually like playtime now, or at least putting all their toys in their mouth and drowning them in drool.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

2006-12-28T03:55:00.000-06:00

Ok ok. So it's been about three months or so since the last update. With the holiday break finally here, and reinforcements in the form of the Mimi and the Poppi, I've finally got some time to actually take AND post some pictures. Here's some brand new pics of the boys at Christmas. Enjoy!!

Here's Noah checking out the Christmas tree.

And here's Benjamin eyeing a present.

And here's both of them looking ever so innocent (not to mention cute).

Saturday, in the park...

2006-09-13T21:34:00.000-05:00

Here's a few pics of the boys at three months. We decided to venture out to Monte Sano park and see what kind of shots we could get. The backgrounds were ok, but when you've got kids this cute, what else matters?

Here's a great shot of Noah just being his laid back "I'm the man" self.

Next are a couple of pics of the boys just kicking back and taking it all in. It's hard to believe they're three months old, and as of now they're getting close to 4 months (22nd of this month).

Three Months

2006-08-21T21:49:00.000-05:00

As of this posting, the boys will be three months old tomorrow. Unbelievable. In some ways I find myself not accepting that they will ever get any bigger, and then it seems like they were born just a few days ago. Here's some more pics, taken Sunday night.

----------------------------------------------------

Sunday night was Man Night at the Anderson house. Emily stayed at church for a baby shower, so the boys and I came home and had a guys night with some Man Talk and football. Fun stuff.
Here's the boys hanging out, having a good ol' time, laughing at Daddy's jokes. Noah's on the left, Benjamin's on the right.

And here's a great picture of Noah. See, I told you Noah smiles. (Just for the record, those are Noah's fingernail scratches on his head. So hold that call to Child Services.)

Shots and Stripes

2006-08-08T21:54:00.000-05:00

The boys had their check up and first round of shots today. Noah weighs 10lbs 15oz and Benjamin weighs 10lbs 10oz. Both boys are 22 1/2 inches long. They did great with their shots, too. After the initial shock of everything, within five minutes they were calm and no tears. They've been a little fussy today, but still doing great.

These pics were taken Sunday the 6th. The boys were one day shy of 11 weeks old. It's amazing how much they've grown.

Here's Noah, cold chillin' in the rocking chair.

And here's Benjamin. There is absolutely nothing I can say to make this picture any cuter.

Don't worry, Noah smiles too. He was just being the "cool guy" that night. :-)

Another sleepy pic

2006-08-08T21:50:00.000-05:00

This time it's Noah. These boys are just too cute when they're sleeping. And sooner or later we're going to figure out how to get them be cute through the night, too.

Just too much...

2006-07-20T23:04:00.000-05:00

One of the best pictures yet. I came home from band camp this morning and walked in the door to see Benjamin asleep on his Boppy. It's images like this that can make a hot morning outside just drift away.

Not to be outdone, Noah was turning up his "cute factor" as well.

Growing Growing Growing

2006-07-14T22:08:00.000-05:00

Only one picture this time, but Emily weighed the boys yesterday at her former work place. Noah weighed in at 9lbs. 4oz and Benjamin weighed in at 9lbs even. We are thrilled considering their weight when they left the hospital.

Enjoy the picture. Leave a comment and tell me who is who. ;-) (You have to register to leave a comment.)

NOAH ROLLS OVER!!

2006-07-04T00:44:00.000-05:00

Ok, you guys are going to think we're making this up, but these pics HAVE NOT been staged or doctored, this was the THIRD time in a row, he rolled over, and we have a witness. Absolutely amazing. Rolling over from stomach to back at 6 weeks.

On his stomach...

During the roll...

And VOILA!!! A complete roll over!!!

And a super-twins update: That's not red-eye in this picture, that's their heat vision coming in.

~KA ---(\S/)---

All in the Family

2006-07-04T00:31:00.000-05:00

The boys have been busy with visits to and from lots of family.

Here they are with their great-great grandmother (Emily's Dad's grandmother) Granny.

And here they are with Mama Sue (Emily's Dad's mother.)

And here, four generations of Anderson men. The twins, me, my dad, and his dad. A very special picture.

Stay tuned. ~KA

We're Back!!

2006-07-04T00:10:00.000-05:00

Ok, for everyone dying to see more pictures, here they are. Sorry I haven't updated in so long, but with grad classes, bottles and diaper changes, there hasn't been much time to sit down and update. ~KA

We'll start with some pics of the boys in their overalls. Benjamin first, then Noah, then both.

And here's a shot of Noah practicing his flying pose.

Reign of the Super Twins!

2006-05-29T00:05:00.000-05:00

With Daddy's love of Superman in our blood, it was only a matter of time before our true colors were shown to the world!

The whole Super Family, even Gus the Super Dog!!

Worth more than a thousand words. ~KA

The legacy continues...~KA

Aren't we cute?

2006-05-28T15:38:00.000-05:00

Here we are about to get our picture made for the hospital website. Yes, it was the best picture of the month.

This is Mimi and Poppi. We aren't sure how to spell Poppi's name yet. This is Mommy's parents.

It's tough being this cute. Amen, brother.

~Noah & Benjamin

Everybody loves us!!

2006-05-28T15:16:00.000-05:00

Here we are with Nanny. That's Daddy's mommy

And here we are with our Aunt Heather. Daddy's sister.

And here we are with Pop. (Daddy's daddy.)One day he's gonna take us on his motorcycle. As soon as our heads are big enough to hold a helmet. :-)

We're home!!!

2006-05-25T22:32:00.000-05:00

We made it!! After a few days at the hospital the nice doctor lady gave us and Mommy the OK to go home. We took a ride in Daddy's Jeep (he was extra careful to, I didn't think we would ever get there) and here we are. We really like our new home and have been awake and looking around alot so we can get to know everything.

By the way, the nice doctor lady called Mommy yesterday and told her that we were IDENTICAL. Of course, we knew that all along; it's about time they figured that out.

Everyone at the hospital was super nice, but we sure are glad to be home. We better get back to sleep before Mommy and Daddy wake up. :-P

Just a few more pics

2006-05-24T17:23:00.000-05:00

Here's a few pics of right before and right after "the arrival". We're going to take turns with the captions.

So here's Daddy. Apparently he was a little nervous waiting to go see Mommy in the operating room. We're glad no one else was back there to see him taking pictures of himself.

This is one of Daddy's favorite pictures. It's awfully sweet. Yeah, I hope they love us as much as they love each other. Don't worry boys, more than you know. ~KA

We love our Mommy. Yes we do!!

Glad you could meet us!!!

2006-05-24T16:59:00.000-05:00

After a roller coaster first few days, we decided it was time to make our cyberspace debut. We are the Anderson Twins, Noah Samuel and Benjamin Seth. The first pic over there on the left is me, Noah. And the other picture is me, Benjamin.We were born at 1:19 and 1:20pm respectively and weighed 5lbs 12oz and 5lbs 4oz respectively.

Mommy did a great job taking care of us in the womb. We were a little cramped for space, but other than that things were just fine. We even took turns moving around and practicing the "head down" position that everyone is so crazy about.

The lady doctor was especially nice too. She made sure our debut into the world was nice and smooth, or as smooth as it could be anyway. And Daddy has been pretty good too. He's not the fastest diaper changer, but he's getting better. He's pretty good at wrapping us up in our blankets though.

Well enough talk for now. We could share more details, but we'd rather not re-live our circumcisions at the moment. We'll update in between feedings and naps when Mommy and Daddy think we're sleeping.
