And they're off!!!!

Well, I'm not sure if this is good news or not for me, but the twins have officially taken their first steps. It certainly is exciting! Lucas took about 8 steps today and managed to walk from Brittani to me. Thomas took a couple of steps, but he has really good balance. I think the Krupp house is about to get even more chaotic....

Say Cheese!!

The poor birthday boy!

My poor husband! This week both his Xbox 360 and his big screen TV died. I feel so bad for him! For his birthday, we did get him a new Xbox, but he has no choice but to mourn the loss of his TV.

The kids are too cute. Lucas has had quite the personality change this week. Instead of his usual sweet demeanor, he has decided he has had enough! He is sticking up for himself left and right and putting his two brothers in their places.

Thomas is an ornery little guy. As soon as he knows that he is not supposed to do something, he keeps doing it over and over again. He just looks at me, smiles, and continues doing wrong. I can already tell I'll have my hands full with him!

One of Kevin's friends brought a puppy to show and tell today at his daycare, and so tonight he has gone on and on about it. He is so verbose and vibrant! It just amazes me that he is only 3 years old!

Football Blues

The Superbowl hasn't even occurred, yet Paul appears to be suffering from the football blues already. Either that or he is still mourning the tragic 0-16 season that the Lion's had. He is actually already counting down the days until the NFL draft--April 25 or something like that.

Regardless of the Lion's record, he remains a dedicated fan through-and-through.

Grocery Shopping with a 3 Year Old

Kevin and I went grocery shopping today. It gets more eventful each time we go. Kevin LOVES pretending, and today, we were Ninja Turtles. I was Leonardo, he was Raphael. So as we are walking up and down the aisles, he is referring to me as Leonardo. We attracted a lot of strange looks. Considering how much Kevin loves to talk, he makes everyone we pass in the aisles chuckle.

Lucas and Thomas are cute as ever. Thomas is the most bubbley little guy and Lucas has such a precious sweetness about him. All three certainly light up our lives!

The start of a new year....

Hello to all! A good friend of mine suggested that I start a blog, and so here I am.

We are happy to put 2008 behind us and are optimistic for a less stressful 2009. Of course, 2008 did bless us with two of the most wonderful little boys in the world! Lucas and Thomas are getting big, already 10 months old! They are standing up all by themselves and will be walking soon~I pray for the strength and endurance to keep up with them when they finally do! I have a hard enough time keeping up with them as it is. Both twins are starting to talk, words like, "mama," "dada," ba-bye", and so on.

Kevin is 3 years old, going on 18. He is such a joy. He is the happiest, smartest, funniest little guy I know. He outsmarts me on a daily basis. For example, at Christmas time, he asked me how Santa got all the toys for kids. I told him that the elves made the toys at the North Pole, to which he responded, "Well, it would be quicker if Santa just bought the toys at Walmart. Then he could bring me more!" The wheels in his head never stop turning.
