Hi Sophia and Alyssa. Auntie Marie was just looking at some of these pictures today and I can't believe you are about to turn FOUR years old next week! You are growing up so fast, it's hard to believe. I love your smiles and your laughter and how each of you are unique in your own way. You are both so special and bring much happiness in to the lives of everyone who knows you. See you soon! Love Auntie Marie xxoo

Dear Sophia and Alyssa;
You have such a GREAT Mommy! She is sooooooo nice to take all those wonderful pictures of you both and post them to this site so that all those people who love you so much can watch you as you grow.
It is just AMAZING to see how grown up you have become in just one short year! Just think of all the things you have learned to do and what a wonderful life you both have, filled with family and friends who love you. You both must feel pretty special ... and you are!
Everyone who appreciates Mommy "sharing you" by posting pictures on this site knows it's a lot of work for Mommy but everyone who loves to look at the pictures agrees with Sam that we really need Mommy to keep posting pictures!!!
Maybe if you give Mommy lots of encouragement, she'll agree to keep posting until your 5th birthday! And all you have to do is just keep being your cute adorable and lovable selves! Sound like a plan?!
Love and kisses to you both (and to Mommy and Daddy who take such good care of you!)
Love Auntie Marie
XXXXOOOO

See you soon. Love,
Sam

I just saw the recent photos of Sophia & Alyssa, They have grown so much and are beautiful! It's hard to believe how fast the time has gone since you brought them home.
We hope you are enjoying your new home and all the space it brings you. It looks like the girls have filled up all the space!
It was so nice to meet you both and see the girls abeit briefly last July while visiting Jim & Judy.
Best wishes as you watch them continue to grow.

HAPPY NEW YEAR Alyssa and Sophia and Mommy and Daddy;
I just checked the site to see if there were any new photos and I cannot believe how much the girls have grown! Little ladies now! They look so grown up in their play group pictures.
PLEASE Mommy, don't stop posting pictures! It's such a great way to share photos with all the friends and relatives who love Sophia and Alyssa so much.
Sophia and Alyssa, tell Mommy to keep posting pictures. At least for a little bit longer. PLEEEEEASE! :-)
Love Auntie Marie

Hi happy family
I absolutely never get tired of looking at those babies. I can't believe how big they are. I just heard you are taking the year off Diana. Good for you! I would love to come and see them sometime again. What a year this has been eh? Bye for now. Sharon
P.S. Your pool looks great.

Hello Everyone,
Well at long last I have rid my computer of that nasty pop up that wasn't allowing me to do ANYTHING on this site! Thanks for the advice Cristine but luckily I didn't have to start a new web page.(p.s. I still have NOT cut their hair!!!) So I will have some pictures posted by the end of this week for sure!!! Isn't that what nap time is for? Anyway, I kind of lost my picture taking enthusiasm without this site to update so I hope my love of photography will be resurged!
Needless to say though the girls get cuter, smarter, bigger and better .....I think I better stop bragging but.......you will see for yourself.
Sophia is still attached to Mommy's hip and gets REALLY jealous if Daddy shows any affection of any kind to Mommy. She even gets possessive sometimes if Alyssa gets too close!!!! I couldn't ask for a better bodyguard!!!
They are talking at least 50 words and are going to a play group, reading at the library and their most recent endeavour is gymnastics!!!! I figured since they were doing somersaults unassisted, I might as well put them in. (I told you they were brilliant!!lol).
Well I hope you enjoy the newest pictures!
Take care,
The Battilana's
P.S. Marie you gotta stop spoiling the little tykes, your smiling face is enough for them......................................................

Hi Sophia and Alyssa;
Auntie Marie misses you so much. I haven't seen you for 3 months now! I hear you're saying lots of words. I hope to see you very very soon. Please tell Mommy to put you in the car and come and visit me at work one day. We can go out for lunch. I know how much you both LOVE to eat! :-) I bought you the cutest little pink umbrellas with a pink ruffle around the edge. I talked to Nonna recently and she said you're getting so big that you're outgrowing your size 18 months clothes. Soooooo, I bought you the most beautiful Christmas dresses in size 24 months ..... you're going to look so grown up in them! I love you both. Be good girls for Mommy and Daddy.
Hugs and Kisses
Auntie Marie

Hello Everyone, (especially David D. !)
Help!!! I haven't been neglecting this site, it is just that everytime I try to add pics or do ANYTHING an advertisement for "twikibar" (whatever that is!) comes up and doesn't allow me to do ANYTHING!!!!
It is soooo frustrating because the girls look very different now than the last pictures on the site!!!
Can you help me????David?

Sophia and Alyssa
The day Grandpa Jim and I have dreaded has finally arrived, you are moving to your new home today. You all need the space and you will love the pool but I will not be able to pop next door to give you a kiss and hug every day. We love you both more than you will ever know and you have brought such joy to our lives. We have watched you both turn into such happy girls thanks to all the love and security given you by your mommy and daddy. I hope we can hold onto the bond that has been formed and continue to be part of your lives always. May God always hold you in the palm of His hand.
Love always
Grandma Judy and Grandpa Jim

Hello Everyone
Paul, Sam and I have been looking for pictures all of June!
I know you are moving, taking care of 2 babies and preparing for a baptism (two actually) but we want an update!!
Seriously, what a beautiful day yesterday was. The girls were absolutely adorable. We were proud to be a special part of their day. I loved walking behind watching the girls walk up the aisle. They are growing up so fast.
Hugs to everyone,
Linda

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed our visit last night. It was fun walking around the yard with you both. I know it won't be long before you'll be able to do it without holding on ... you're both so strong and determined to GOOOOO!
And a special thanks to you Alyssa for falling asleep in my arms while I gave you your bottle and letting me put you to bed without crying ..... you were like a little angel and you made my week! :-)
Love you both;

Hello again everyone,
Thanks for the Mother's Day greeting Mark and that picture of the girls tends to be one of my favourites too.
I love to hear all of your positive comments, it is so rewarding and inspires me to continue to post pictures. I do plan to attend the grad Christine and I am hoping to bring "Double Trouble" to the ceremony...but then again I may come to my senses and leave them at home!!!!
Take care,

Hi Happy family
I was just looking at how the babies have grown. I'd say they're thriving. How fast they are growing up. Isn't every day a joy? And I absolutely love the captions! Diana, I e-mailed you on first class. I know how busy you must be with the munchkins but if you ever have a spare minute, write to me.
Love Sharon

Greetings from Twin Ville!
Thanks for the great comments, it really is a pleasure to share our joy with you re: our daughters on this website.
Yes, Christine their hair is growing slowly but surely and I am very grateful for the offer of a TRIM (notice the emphasis on TRIM?). Perhaps before their baptism they could us a little spruce up. Thanks for the offer and I will definitely keep you in mind. P.S. I saw your little guy walking home yesterday!
We have rearranged our home to make space for the babes, so no we haven't moved yet, however we are still looking, just not as desperate as before. Besides where would I get a Grandma Judy right next door? lol
Take care everyone,
Love,
The Battilana 4

Happy FIRST Birthday to my sweet little girls. I get so much joy out of looking at your pictures! (And thanks to Mommy for keeping the pictures coming!). Your cute little (individual) personalties shine through in so many of them. I just LOVE those toothy grins!
Thanks to Mommy and Daddy for doing such a great job in caring for you ...... and just think, they're still just learning!!!
Your sweet little faces depict how happy you both are and that you know how much you are truly loved. With love and lots of kisses for your birthday (on your chubby little cheeks), and may God bless you both always.
