The one who makes it all happen.

Not enough credit and praise is ever given to the most important person in a family. The wife/mother/best friend who holds it all together.

I love Roxanne with all my heart and i know that without her i might have gone nuts by now.

Heres to you baby. Thank god our Girl looks like you. 

This says it all.

The only downside to Christmas... all these great cute outfits they only wear once! Ah well, we can probably sneak in a few uses. 

What a smile!

Anastasia smiles all the time... Christopher makes you work for it!

But when he gives it up... WOW, what a smile! 

Good things happen in threes.

Our little twins and their cousin Avery (born Nov 9) 

Nothing more peaceful than a baby sleeping

By edict of his royal majesty! 

Merry Christmas from the Gillespie Twins

We had a great Christmas and hope you did as well. This Santa thing seems interesting. we can't wait to see what he brings next year. 

The Prince of the Prince of the Riffs!

This ones for you dad!

This is what two little angels looks like 

The many moods of a baby

You know, it is amazing. The ability of a baby to go from
awwwwwww... To
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! In nothing flat. Here is an example.

Baby Christopher being a beautiful peaceful baby.

But god help us when he drops his pacifier...

Although, I couldn't love him more. It gives you a warm fuzzy when you calm them down. As if you are able to take the pain away (even if it is the pain of having dropped the pacifier.)

Lest we think that he is alone in going from 0 to 60 in no time flat... may I present the reigning champion;

We are pretty lucky though. Usually if the baby in the second picture shows up, we can use what we learned from the book "The Happiest Baby on the Block" and all is right in the world pretty quick.

A reflective thought!

As with most parents, I spend far too much time staring at my children and becoming overwhelmed at how much love I feel for them. While talking about this the other day I asked Roxanne a simple question;

"Do you think they will ever know how much we love them?"

The answer leads to the link between parents and children over the ages. Of course they won't.


they can never know how much we love them and why we will do all the crazy things to them over the years that we will do. And someday far in the future, they will look at their own children and wonder the same thing.

And the answer will still be no. That is the beautiful thing that keeps it all going.

Babys first Christmas tree (outing)

This is the Christmas tree they chose. Honestly, they chose it.

It is great going out with the twins. Babies always attract a little attention, and twins are the Rock Stars of Babies! 

More shots from the way back machine

Here is Roxannes sister Becky holding Anastasia when she was about 2 days old

Grandma Rose

Jumping in the wayback machine, i realized i have no pictures of Roxannes Family. Here is a shot of Grandmama Rose McGee with Anastasia back in the hospital. Another proud family member.

I just couldn't resist this picture. 

In the tie, Christopher Donald 

And in the contest for cutest baby, we have a tie for first place...

Anastasia and

The man who made it happen

Well... the C-section at least. Dr. Stephen Williams, Roxannes OB. And a great guy. 

What a cute little baby girl. All clean and washed up. 

"Daddy, i am nice and clean... but you stink! Time for your bath!" 

Nana with the two little angels

 

Well, i am not sure what kind of sleigh they would pull, but they sure are cute. 

Our little reindeer

 

Efficient feeding

Obviously this is daddy feeding them. You can tell by the efficient manner of bottle delivery. 

What is she saying?

"So, you were planning on a night of mommy and daddy doing some snuggling... I don't think so!"
