A few weeks ago we went up to Dallas because Matt convinced Rob that participating in
this Mud Run would be a great brotherly-bonding experience.

| A nice "before" shot |
The course was about 6 miles long with 30+ crawling, climbing, swimming, jumping, swinging, MUDDY obstacles to get through.
Natalie and I herded the kids to a place in the shade where we could catch some of the action.

| Still smiling! |
And after 1:36 hours, the brothers reached the finish line! I'm pretty sure there wasn't even a single inch of them that wasn't completely caked in mud.

| Mmmm....Rob's muddy arm-hair |
Luckily the race organizers anticipated the serious need for a post-race shower and brought a fire-engine to do the job. I bet the firemen were glad for the change of pace!
And finally, THEY WERE CLEAN!!!! Except....2 days later, Rob was still finding mud in weird places like his ear canal and belly-button.
Natalie and I thought it looked like so much fun that we're going to participate in Mud Run #2... after she's done growing her little baby girl and I'm done growing these two little ladies. 3 more Ellis grand babies coming in August!!

That run looks right your alley.....it seems like they had a blast. Best part of the post... YOU'RE HAVING TWINS!!!! Congratulations! Can we have a skype baby shower?
Congrats!! So excited for you guys!! What lucky little girls to have you as parents!
Love the mud run pictures...James would LOVE that!! Gotta love how the kid in them never dies. ;) I am so crazy about your sonogram pictures of the twinkies - I love them already! Is it just me, or is Baby Girl A and Baby Girl B starting to sound like pretty good names??
Twins?! How exciting! Can't wait to see more pictures. When are you due?
Twins!!! We're so happy for your family! Congratulations!
WOW!!! congrats!!! if you have any questions about twins, i'd love to talk! my twins are 13 months. parenthood has been a roller coaster, but overall amazing!
Hooray! Congratulations to you both. That is fantastic news. They are lucky girls!
Congrats, congrats, congrats!! I am thrilled for you!
Congrats on your twin girls, that's fantastic! You guys are going to be awesome parents.
oh my gosh, i have never heard of something like that, how funny. and that is just crazy that you have two babies inside you!
Congratulations on your growing family! I hope things continue to progress well. I've always thought twins would be tough but probably worth it to get two kids out of one pregnancy. Good luck in the first year:)
Again, Congratulations!

Congratulations! We're so happy for you!
