My friend Kelsey got this really girly outfit for Kate... she looked really cute in it.
Hi sister.
They are pretty good natured babies, they have fussy periods, but not too bad. They are sleeping better most nights, sometimes only waking up one time. They are chubby. They are both really trying to talk to us a lot and smiling a lot.
With their new teacher Mrs. Renne.
Today they went to class, but only half the class went. I am counting it as the first day since they road the bus and went to school.

They were SO excited for the bus to come, here they are waiting.
They hopped right on, they wouldn't even have looked back if the driver hadn't told them to turn around for a picture.
So they did.
They both got off the bus smiling, it sounded like their day went well and they made some new friends, although they couldn't remember their new friends' names. I had to ask a lot of questions to get just a little information about their day, but they seemed to really love it. I spent my time running errands with 2 kids instead of 4. I can't believe how grown up Jacob and Claire are now and I am so grateful that they are so excited and so confident.
See how chubby they are getting! Yesterday was a two month checkup and Liam was 11 lbs. 1 oz and Kate was 9 lbs. 14 oz. WOW!
Helping out when the babies were still just teeny.
They aren't so teeny now. (OK, so they are pretty small, but huge compared to what they were)
They made $6 total, $3 each. They each spent some of it buying junk from garage sales, but I am pretty sure the most exciting part was paying 30 cents of tithing.
I have a lot to post about, it makes my head hurt, so I will keep it simple. Here are the boys and the girls.
Liam was a little sleepy for the pictures
See how chubby they are getting!
When I got the details Jacob said that he did not actually help, I asked Claire if she did it herself and she said "yes, because he is telling the truth!" she then added "But Jacob watched!" Jacob told me he did watch and "I just reminded her that you might not like it!" I found hair in two rooms and child safety scissors. At least she followed the rules about which scissors she is allowed to use!
See the short chunks there.
Her hair was fixed like this and she cut on the little pigtails on both sides. I may have laughed a little bit, then I found her crying in the bathroom and when I asked her why she was crying she told me she didn't want people to laugh at her because her hair looked funny. She also was upset that her hair wouldn't be red anymore... I told her it would still be red, but it would be short. I was trying to figure out how much sympathy you are supposed to have for a child that cuts her own hair. See below how she felt about it.
We went that evening to get it fixed, it is shorter and layered to fix the problem. I am not sure I love the fix... I may have it fixed again and all one length (like I originally asked for). I was not really too upset and I was feeling grateful that she did not cut right up to the pigtail or try to make bangs.
This was after our ward picnic... thus the butterfly.
We were so happy to go home just 2 days after they were born, we feel so blessed that we had such healthy babies that are such great eaters.
More pictures to come... they are getting chubbier every day.
Kate Afton Jensen, 5 lbs. 1 oz, 18 inches
Liam Kip Jensen, 5 lbs. 12 oz., 18 1/4 inches.
Kate on bottom, Liam on top. They were amazingly healthy babies for 35 weeks, and really great (even if they are sleepy) eaters. We were so lucky to be able to bring them home just two days later on the 13th. More pictures to come... they are already over a week old and have past their birth weight.
