Good Fortunes

Confucius has never met this guy.

Amidst the continued onslaught of noises from Mr. Roman, the kids have been growing really well. They turned six weeks old on January 11th and at a brief doctor weigh-in Eden and Roman tipped the scales at 6 lbs 5 oz and 6 lbs 4 ozs, respectively. Roman has caught up and there's no turning back in sight.

In addition to more weight, we've had more visitors......

Great-Grandpa Smith, Grandpa Smith, Dad and the twins. Four generations of Smith. That sound you just heard was all of the patience rushing out of the room.

Grandpa and Grandma Wolters, finally done with their colds, brought us a belated Christmas. They spent the day holding their only presents from us.

Granpda Wolters enjoys a double team of sleeping babies. "That's right, see the size of my hands? Don't mess with my grandkids or I will crush you. Fear me."

Aunt Stefan and Uncle Josh enjoying their first time holding their niece and nephew. Aunt Stefan has finally figured out who Roman looks like - according to her, he's a dead ringer for Keifer Sutherland. In other news, Eden was recently mistaken for Aretha Franklin.

Hi you four!!
So glad to see the new pictures, what a couple darling babies, also love the captions under each picture. Glad to hear they are both doing good, and gaining weight. I can see they really have changed since we saw them. So nice we can see them, even here in Texas!!

So glad granmps got over his cold, and he finally hold them. That was a neat picture of him, and his big hands, Shows how small those little tikes are.

Take care and give them a hug from both of us

Love to all
Grandma and Grandpa W

Hello,

Just got done printing the new pictures. Ran out of ink a few days back.

Gosh...I sure do love this high tech stuff. Really makes you feel that you are part of the activities there in the Smith household.

Go glad to hear things are going so well and the babies speak for themselves through their pictures. They both look very happy and growing like a weeds.
Hope Mom and Dad are doing as well.

I hope the visitor's list will include the great-aunt soon, I can hardly wait to see them.

Well, you are in my thoughts daily and I find myself looking at the book of pictures I started (pictures from this website)and can't believe how much the babies have changed. They truly are a gift.

Keep the pictures a...coming and hope to see you soon. Ross..Have you thought about a career change.......Sitcom writer.

Take Care,
Aunt Debe' and Uncle Dan, too!
