Birthday Week, Skating, and Happy Halloween

So, last week Chris and I both turned 35 (and Lauren also turned 3 months old)!  We can now run for president.  What a milestone!!  We had quiet birthdays with dinner at home with the girls.  The Buzzell's came over on Thursday for Chris' birthday and to watch the Wake Forest game.  Luckily, we won!



Alli went to a skating birthday party for twin girls in her class at school.  It was most of the kids first time skating.  The song "Another one bites the dust" comes to mind...  Actually, Alli did a good job, and it wore her out.





 The girls had a great time trick-or-treating last night.  After I picked them up at school, I changed them into their costumes and first we went trunk-or-treating at First Baptist Clemson, then we walked to downtown Clemson and trick-or-treated at the stores/restaurants, then we headed home, had dinner and Alli headed out to a few of the neighbors.  She got a bucket full!  Daddy even decided to dress up.  Alli decided to be Tinkerbell and Lauren was a bumble bee. 
Lastly, an update on Lauren...she's doing well.  I weighed her last night and she's around 11lbs.  It looks like she'll be in 3 month clothes a little longer (she's long and lean)!  We got good news on Wed.  The Synagis Vaccine (RSV) was approved through the insurance!  She will get her first dose on Tuesday when we go to the pulmonologist for a check up.  Tuesday will be a rough one... not only will she get the shot, but they will also be drawing blood for a cbc, metabolic panel, vitamin level check, and the genetic mapping.  It's hard enough to have to watch her get shots, I'm not sure how I'll do having to watch her getting blood drawn too.  I'm praying that it'll be easy on her.
As for milesones, she's doing really well holding up her head, she laughs and coos. She's not too much of a fan of tummy time.  We're working on that to get her to start rolling over.   Here's a picture we got of her "reading."

Can you tell which one is Alli and which is Lauren?
