Google Earth - Satellite Pictures of Our House

Okay. Everyone probably already knows about this, but I think this is very cool. First, we are always looking at TWC (The Weather Channel) online to check out the doppler in our area. And they now have the doppler shown as an overlay over satellite photos of the earth. Very cool. So as I was zooming in to take a look at our State and City, my mouse scroll function got a bit crazy and next thing I know I'm look at a satellite shot of our street and Lake. Of course, I had to see how far I could zoom in and next thing you know I'm looking in the backyard inside the fence. Now the weather channel's satellite shot kept giving me errors saying that the doppler doesn't not work with the zoom so close. So Matt told me about Google Earth.

After a couple quick downloads, here's some shots of our little lake (Eagle Lake)....
And here's our house with the only fenced yard in the neighborhood...

Kind of fun, now I'm going to check some of your houses! Ha ha!

Back Home & Three Months Old

After Matt received word of his layoff at the end of March, we decided to take another spur-of-the-moment trip to Minnesota to see Grandpa and Grandama since I'll be going back to work May 1st.

So here's a few things that have been going on... Here's Joseph (left) and Jacob (right) all dressed up. See how big they are getting - those 0 to 3 month clothing is getting a bit small!

Here's Joseph (left) and Jacob (right) hanging out in the hotel during our trip.

Dad with the boys on the deck at home. Jacob (left) and Joseph (right) wanted to watch Daddy working in the yard.

The following picture was taken just a little big ago as the boys are 3 months old today! They just received these blankets in the mail today from Marcia in Shreveport --Thanks!!

And as you may notice, they have a new favorite activity at home. The good 'ol "kick and play."

So now that I'm finally posting these photos on line, the boys were supposed to be doing some "tummy time" next to me. As you can see, Jacob is already asleep and Joseph is relaxing and watching Mom.

Here's a close-up of Jacob...

and Joseph...

I love my boys!

It's amazing how every day you can love your children more and more. My boys have so much personality and make me laugh all the time.

Here's the wiggle worm Joseph (he was the same way in the womb). I might have to put them in separate cribs soon because it seems each time I peek into the nursery, Joseph has completely unwrapped himself from the tightest of swaddles and moved himself closer to his brother and in all sorts of directions (see below).

Matt took the next two photos during feeding time. We love how they look at us when we are feeding them. Also, the eyes are still looking either blue or grey each day. Will they turn brown?

And my favorite photos so far....all of boys taking a nap!!!
