love times two.

still amazed...two babies at one time. what a great trip it was to meet the van egdom FAMILY! so great to see dana&jeff as parents and to hold their much awaited blessing in our arms. these two babies...precious, darling...i could keep going on:) addie is the definition of little girl...petite, dainty, and pink. she looks JUST like dana with dark hair. (i am totally gushing over her pinkness...vance told me not to get all ooey and gooey, too late!) and owen, he's a little stud. totally smitten over this guy, he has dana's red hair but looks just like jeff, and he's going to be so funny just like his daddy. it was great fun...the whole time.
here's the cast of characters & names that lane has given everyone...
grandpa jim...."bampa"
grandma gwen..."hot" lane helps her make coffee so she must be, hot. "double g" granma gwen. (jeff re-did black eyed peas song 'i'm a be.." to double g, hilarious)
uncle jeff...? when we ask lane if he can say jeff he just says "yes"
aunt dana..."daya"
uncle tom..."tom" "tom tom"
aunt renee..."me"
addison..."addie"
owen..."ooOOoo"
gage..."baby"

good times.


washing his hands(again).

owen had to get in on the matching fun.




seriously, we took over jeff&dana's house. 8 adults, 4 kids. yikes! thank you SO much for opening your home to us!!...side note, they even let 'the reimer' family sleep in their master bed. now thats what i call family.

in-n-out. yummmy!


dana could totally do triplets.

cool uncle jeff.

7 weeks apart.

miss addie.



helping, always helping.


with all of her grandSONS.

the park. lane LOVED it! when was the last time you were so excited that you just screamed? so funny! we planned to go feed the ducks but sea gulls were stealing all the food. and lane was way interested in the pigeons...only a kid would find such delight in those birds. this particular trip to the park was girls, lane & gage, and vance. supposedly the next day bampa went down the slides and swung on the swings with lane...SO wish i would have gone(with my camera!)to witness that.

making our way there, grandma has gage in the baby bjorn









you gotta stretch to grow.


tom nick-named gage as 'boss' it's quite fitting for his size compared to the twins. love our little 'boss hog'
