I've been trying to teach the girls to point out parts of their face and make animal sounds. And German is teaching them Spanish words with actions like lengua (stick tongue out), manitos (wave hands) & ojitos (blink eyes). We're worried their first language will be very Spanglishy. I speak mostly English to them with a little bit of Spanish and German speaks mostly Spanish with some English. Poor little things are probably so confused. It's a good thing kids are smart enough to figure it out eventually on their own.

I am so proud you ran a 10K pregnant! Everyone feels crappy at 8 weeks! You are awesome.
Your girls are as cute as ever! Are they talking yet? It will be fun to hear what comes out... English or Spanish or both.
You are amazing! You asked for our address:
Clifford School, Clifford Estates
Shi Guang Rd. Panyu district DG
Guangzhou City, 511495
Guangdong, P.R. China
Our Christmas card will be an email version this year. Merry Christmas!!!
How neat that they will learn both languages so young. I hear it is much easier that way though it usually takes them a bit longer to start talking. How have they been doing?
Sara, The girls are so big! When Hendrix and Faryn saw them they freaked out! They were like "mom, they are big now...not babies anymore!" Squish them for me okay :)Kiersta
I've been behind on reading people's blogs so I just read your post about being pregnant. Congratulations!! That is so exciting! I hope you are feeling okay and are surviving being pregnant and a mommy of adorable twins. I think you are awesome for running the 10K- on top of being pregnant! You are amazing- a true super woman!!
