A blessed occasion....

It is with great joy that we announce the birth of our beautiful baby girls. They were born on December 17th, 2007

Lexie Elise Bryant, (Baby A) born at 10:41 a.m. She weighted 5 pounds 2.5 ounces and was 16 3/4 inches long.

and

Grace Alexandra Bryant, (Baby B), born a mere two minutes later, 10:43 a.m. She weighted 5 pounds 8.2 ounces and was 17 1/2 inches long.

Our girls is THREE!!!

We celebrated Tyler's birthday in grand fashion. :-) We had a birthday party complete with balloons, cake, family and friends.... and of course we could not forget the jumping castle. Needless to say, she had a great time. At the end of the party she cried "Mommy, I want my friends to come back..." :-( The day couldn't last long enough.... but she had a great time nonetheless. :-)

The next morning we had a special day just for her. Whatever Tyler wanted to do, we did it together. :-) Daddy made her a special birthday girl breakfast, followed by the creation of many playdoh creatures and fun shapes. :-)

We went to the park and then went shopping at Toys R' Us. You should have seen her... it was just too cute. :-) I wish I had my camera with me... her face completely lit up when she found out she could pick anything she wanted.... and what did she pick? A remote controled dump truck (because of course Daddy had to check out the boy toy area with her, LOL), a baby, a purse, some books and a few movies. :-) That's my girl!

We ended the day with dinner at Johnny Rocket's complete with a happy birthday song and ice cream at Baskin Robbins.

She is growing so fast... I remember the first moment I laid eyes on her, the day we brought her home, the day she took her first steps... We just feel so very blessed to have such a wonderful little girl in our lives.

For now, we try to take each day and savor every moment... even the not so fun ones... because before we know it, she will be all grown up....

Pictures and Updates

I haven't been the best when it comes to updating our blog lately... I guess I've just felt like there is so much to do, not enough uninterupted time (HAHAHA) and when there is... I'm just too tired. :) So, here's the news lately....

Tyler is great! We just can't believe how fast the time has gone by! She'll be 3 at the end of the month... in 11 days!! My baby really isn't a baby any more... well she'll always be our baby, but you know what I mean. She's day potty trained (WAHOO, YEAH!!!) and almost night potty trained. She loves to sing and dance... TOTALLY love reading, saying her ABC's and counting. She's so smart. :-)

Tony & I are great. Last weekend we were in Tucson for his annual "company soiree"... Tyler stayed the night with Grandma & Papa... so we had a night out and overnight stay alone!! Of course, this will probably be the last time for quite a while. :-) We had a great time. I love when we can take little trips like that. I really love that man! :-) :-) :-)

The babies are doing great! We've been going every two weeks now for some time... infact I only have one more every two week appointment (on Friday, October 26th) and then we start going every week!! WOW how the time has passed. I go to a perinatalogist for our ultrasounds... so cool! At the last appointment (26 weeks) they both measured almost exactly the same, and growing like weeds... each weighing an estimated 1.75 pounds! That's great!! They're very active... especially when Tyler lays her head on them... ever so gently, but they know it's her before she even starts to talk... they start to squirm around... it's just too cute! They love listening to Tony read... they just get so calm. :-) Our appointments have been good. Lots of Braxton Hicks contractions, but that's normal for a second pregnancy, especially with twins. ALl is well though, no dilation, no fluid... so that's great news! Today we're 28 weeks... Sunday will be 29... so if all goes well we really only have 7-9 weeks left!!

This weekend our very dear friend Jenn will be taking family & pregnancy photos for us! I am very excited! She does great work! ( http://photographybyjenn-studiotwenty2.blogspot.com) So, don't worry, for those of you who have been asking when the next round of pictures will be out... it will be soon! :-)

That's all for now... will post more after our appointments and pictures!

Our nephew

We are so excited to welcome a new member to our ever growing family. :-) Josh and Rachel welcomed their first child, Joshua Alexander on August 10th, 2007!!

Drum roll please.....

We found out on August 14th that we will be blessed with two more little girls! Tony was a tiny bit bummed....no boys, and since we're most likely not going to try for number 4, he'll be overrun with estrogen. :) Nonetheless, we are so very excited.
