"Look at these pretty flowers!"

Faith - "Think I'll just pick this one."

Faith - "Ok Mom, but can I pick these?"

This weeks' Double Happiness! Family FotoFun Friday Challenge is "Pets". This is certainly something the twins have lots of!!

The girls are still pretty scared of most of the animals but Faith seems to be getting more comfortable around them than Hope. They are still very afraid of the "BIG DOGS" though -- a chihuahua and a terrier mix ;)

They've just had a new litter a kittens and Mom let the girls bring two in the house for a photo shoot --

Faith decides to take over both of the kittens

This is the first lamb born after the girls came home and Faith was willing to get pretty close -- Hope wouldn't even come near the pen.

Two of the newest baby lamps.

Hope on the left and Faith on the right.

The girls watering the sheep -- when you have this many pets, there's bound to be chores!

Taking a break.

I had to come back and add this picture -- it's MY kitty (Silver), who now lives with the twins because Mimi travels so much. I do miss her and am always glad to get a chance to visit her as well as the girls! Funny thing about this picture, Mom took it sometime last year and somehow managed to save it on her camera in such a way that it could NOT be deleted so whenever she started sending pictures from China last October, this was always the first picture I would see -- imagine being SO excited to see my new little granddaughters and what pops up but a cat! :)

Six Month Anniversary of Gotcha Day!

It's hard to believe it's been six months since these little darlings waltzed into our lives but what a dance it's been!

It's been an amazing journey, starting half a world away and I look forward to the next six months and the next six years and .....

So, I present the Lindsey Family!

THEN----

Gotcha! First picture taken as a family (Dad & Faith and Mom & Hope)

Umm -- think I'll just let the pictures do the talking -----









By the way, this is Faith -- guess she thought she needed to freshen up a bit.

A day in the life...


Two little Chinese Americans eating spaghetti ---




Hope picking out the M&Ms in her M&M cookie


and Faith comes along and helps her out by eating them!


Hope is NOT happy :)


Move on to their room -- One girl totally ticked that "someone" dumped the cards


and the "someone" not really caring much..... (yes Faith is UNDER the rug, go figure)

The Double Happiness! Family FotoFun Friday Challenge this week is all about the bunny -- The Easter Bunny! This isn't an easy one for us because the girls haven't had the opportunity to visit said Easter Bunny yet and since Mimi will not be available this weekend to post and doesn't want to be as late as she was last week, we've just had to 'make do'.

Here are some pictures Mom took of the girls and their bunnys and lambs (with some Easter eggs and Easter grass thrown in for fun). These girls are getting bigger all the time, I'm loving these "big girl" bows too! Go here to see more pictures.

This is a picture of the twins' cousins, Garrett and Colton, taken last Easter. They live in Seattle and haven't yet had a chance to meet the girls -- maybe this summer?

Dear Charlie:

What's up? We've been seeing you hanging out with all those OTHER Twins! Just remember, we saw you first!!

We hear your getting a new house really soon. We've got new lambs! I hope you like your new house and if you have room in your new yard maybe we'll send one of our new baby lambs to you.

Well, our Mom's calling us to dinner so we better go but we hope to see you again sometime.

XOXOXO
Hope and Faith
