Are they twins?

Who might you ask, am I referring to? My daughters! I have been asked 5 times in the past month and a half whether they are twins. Really??? First of all, I know they are beginning to look more and more alike but not THAT alike. Second, ummm did anyone else notice that Shelby is a whole head taller than Sarah and about 12 pounds heavier? I just don't get the questions, and I don't think anyone else believed me until Nate heard someone ask us at the apple orchard on Friday night. On Saturday I was telling my mom about it and I don't think she quite believed it was happening either and then my mom and dad heard it Saturday night when we were taking the girls out to dinner. Mom made an interesting point, they only way they're twins is it they are like Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzeneger in that movie, Twins.

I know it's been a while but back to school time always does that to me. Too much to do and not nearly enough time. The next few weeks won't be any better with our parade of weddings and wedding related activities coming up. We are very excited about my brother and Nate's brother's upcoming weddings, but I know we will breathe a big sigh of relief when they are all done and we won't be so busy (I think they will too for that matter).

Not much else is new here. Sarah has decided to try and get her way ALL the time by screaming bloody murder to get what she wants. Let's just say she's disappointed alot. Shelby is starting to take an interest in learning her letters and writing some too. I haven't pushed her about it, but being in pre-school with Miss Gretchen has sparked some interest. She can write her H, E, and L but she is hesitant to try her S. She is also identifying those letters plus A and N. She already "reads" things to us all the time which is too cute and amazing how much of the story she actually remembers.

Here are some random pics I have snapped in the past few weeks. Enjoy looking at my twins!
Shelby has really mastered the gator in the past few weeks. In fact, she has learned to shift into the faster gear! Sarah has learned to hold on tight and is even a bit nervous about riding with her big sis at times.

Sarah isn't a fan of veggies generally, but she absolutely LOVES corn on the cob. The girl goes to town on the stuff!
