Whitehead, Party of Five

March 8, 2016 by Rebecca Whitehead

Our first photos taken all together as a party of five, just a few days shy of Meredith’s two week birthday! All photos by Sarah Arnoff.

Typical family photo: two of us looking at the camera = success.

Oops.. I guess not all the photos were taken by Sarah. I had to get one of the photographer and her subjects!

A few other family members while we’re at it. Grandma and Meredith.

Great Grandpa and Meredith.

I love the prints I found on Etsy for Meredith’s nursery: Close to the heart, we’ll always be. Friends from the start, my sisters and me.

Once Meredith was born, it was striking how big the twins seemed to me all of a sudden. And not just physically… compared to the baby, the girls seemed incredibly independent!

Teaching sis all about being silly.

Swoon!

You are so loved.

My favorite! Wish I could tickle all thirty of those little toes forever!

Thanks for the photos, Aunt Sarah! I will treasure them forever!

Lots of love,

At the start of Meredith’s second week of life outside the comfort of the womb, she and I desperately needed someone quiet/alone time (a.k.a. five seconds without the twins!) Luckily, Uncle Mike, Ali, and Aunt Sarah were still in town and the Aronsons came down from LA to meet Meredith. When they all took the twins to Aliso Creek Beach, it was a blissfully peaceful afternoon for my mom, Meredith and me! Thanks for the pictures, Aunt Sarah.

Cousins Rhys, Jack and Eleri meet Meredith for the first time.

Being silly on the way to the beach.

A gorgeous day. If I hadn’t been having such a nice time at home napping with Meredith, I would have loved to have been there!

The gang was at the beach for a solid five hours– definitely the longest the girls have stayed occupied there.

Outsourcing hole digging to Uncle Mike.

Thanks for letting them eat sand, guys!

Sister torture.

Apparently, the girls started a trend.

Samantha looks like she’s thinking of doing something diabolical involving sand and Rhys’ mouth.

I’m thirsty!

When they returned home, the gang informed me that Amelia would sit in her hole for a few minutes and then ask to be let out, only to ask someone to dig her another hole a few minutes later. She really liked being immobile in her hole! Seems like a good containment strategy if I had some sand at home.

Wack-a-mole.

Party in the mini van while the girls conked out on the way home.

Since I haven’t been very many places the past month, it’s been fun looking at all the pictures people have taken for me whenever they go out with the twins. It will be nice to start getting out more with our whole family eventually; but, in the mean time, I’m content to hear about their experiences and let the girls practice their story-telling skills while recounting all their adventures!

Lots of love,

Triple Trouble

March 7, 2016 by Rebecca Whitehead

Aunt Sarah stumbled upon these perfect “Trouble” t-shirts on a recent trip to New Orleans and with one of her specialty cameras set to “mug shot” mode, she took some hilarious shots of the delinquents.

Trouble 1: Samantha

Trouble 2: Amelia. She’s wily, that one.

I’m hoping these are the only mug shots I’ll ever have to see.

Jail brawl! Put them in isolation cells!

Just kidding– we love sharing a cell.

Partners in crime.

To celebrate Meredith’s one week birthday, the twins made this– er– “lovely” giant cupcake cake! After singing happy birthday and blowing out the candles, Aunt Sarah asked if they wanted to eat some. The girls looked at her like she was crazy and said, “No– we’re not eating that!” At least they have some sense.
