our first adventure in the stroller/one of our favorite gifts

getting this stroller has been a long time coming.  we thought we had it all figured out- we bought our carseats, and since i'm so anti-"stuff", we bought the snap-n-go, which is just a frame that the carseats sit in.  i was so excited, because it got great reviews, it was so easy to use, blah, blah, blah...  i have a friend at work who is about to have twin girls, so we've been sharing tips and info about all the different aspects of having twins... she sends me an e-mail one day (i believe liam and finn were already here, but maybe still in the NICU) and asks me what stroller we got.  she already knew that we got our chicco carseats, and wanted to tell me that they weren't going to get the snap-n-go because it wasn't compatible with the chicco carseats. say what?!?!?! so yes, bryan looked at our stroller, only to find out that it's pretty 

much compatible with EVERY OTHER CARSEAT but ours... of course it is.  so now we're back to square one.  and still having a problem with too much crap in our house, we finally (after much going back and forth as to what we were going to get) settled on the peg-perego.  we love love love it! and i think the boys do too:

here they are, excited to go on their first adventure in the new stroller

stopped in the park on the way home for a little sand volleyball

and finally, before heading home, a ride on the swing set

so i can't end this post without mentioning liam and finn's attire... i've honestly been looking forward to these gifts since mary asked me for my address way before the babies were born.  mary zschogner (or zuzhenheimer, whichever) is the most talented knitter i've ever met- we worked together in fresno, and before SAMC got crazy busy, we used to knit and crochet on the slower nights... ahh, those were the days. :) mary was always working on something, and we even caught her knitting IN HER SLEEP!!! she knit the triplets adorable hat/sweater sets when they were born, so i had a feeling we would get something along those lines... she also knitted them special blankets complete with their initials (she knows how much i love initialing things :)). i can't believe how beautiful they are- so of course, we had to wear them out! even though it was an unseasonably 65 degree day in february, the babies really wanted to show them off!! :)

i'm hoping the weather stays warm for good soon, i'm going crazy! being cooped up in this house!! :) oh, and in case you couldn't tell, liam is on the left and finn is on the right! :)
