| Dear Friends and Family, | December 2010 |
Welcome to 2010 in the Spates household. Life has definitely changed for us this year.
On January 20th, we welcomed two new additions to our family, Kaylee Marie and Makenna Jean. Kaylee entered the world first at 1:09pm. Makenna didn't want to wait too long and came at 1:15pm. The girls came at 36 weeks and 4 days. They did not have to spend any time in the neonatal unit and got to come home after three days.
 | Kaylee Marie 1:09pm 6lb 6 oz length 18in head 33.5 cm chest 32.5 cm |  |
 | Makenna Jean 1:15pm 5lb 3oz length 17 in head 33 cm chest 32 cm |  |
The girls have grown tremendously since January and are both crawling and standing. Kaylee has had 8 teeth since she was 5 1/2 months old and has 4 more in the works Makenna, not to be outdone, may try to take her first steps before the ends of the year. They are both also eating solids three times a day.
In April, Heather decided to leave her job and stay home with the girls. She has been keeping busy by going to infant/parenting classes at a local college and having playdates with other kids the girl's age. We also traveled to Wenatchee to celebrate her grandfather's 90th birthday. It was great to see the girls with grandpa as unfortunately he passed away in October.
In November, we traveled with the girls to New Mexico and for Stephen's grandmother's memorial service. She passed away after a battle with cancer. The girls did really well on the plane trips and had fun adventures in the car. They also got to hang out with their cousins and Stephen's family.
We have done many events with the girls this year. They got to meet the Easter bunny. They were baptized in July and attended their uncle's wedding the same weekend. We took them tent camping with our church in September and went to our first fair. For Halloween they were a puppy and a leopard. They were in a Santa Parade, and their first Jingle Bell run/walk 5k in December.
Our dog Lacey and our cat Backster have adapted well to the girls. Lacey sits and lets the girls pet her while Backster will go to them when he wants attention.
