This is a post for my mom -- certainly long awaited. I promised now that she's gone I'd send photos. Well, doing anything other than baby care takes many days for me to work up to. But here I am. Since I was going to email her these photos I thought of you, my faithful readers (when there is something to read) and thought I'd let you in on the goodies. Eva and Elijah are currently sleeping (albeit fitfully for Elijah) on the living room floor and I'm typing this from the dining room table, using our free wireless internet (thanks to one of our unsuspecting neighbors). Last night was great -- I think I got a stretch of 4hrs of sleep! Also got a couple hour or two sections. I feel well rested. Nice. Okay, so here are some pics.
First some photos from the early weeks when mom was here:
From when dad was out:
Now some more recent photos -- from yesterday and today. Eva is wearing a top from Grandma Kathy (which works as a dress for now), and Elijah is wearing a shirt from her -- the matching pants got sent to the laundry basket following a faulty diaper job by me and a whole lot of pee on Elijah's part. Elijah does not like "tummy time" but it makes for some great photos and develops his muscles. Both Eva and Elijah are more reliably finding their hands - Elijah pretty much tries to jam his whole fist in his mouth. They are making more official "baby sounds" and Eva has started giving a few interactive smiles, mostly to her dad, but I got a couple too.
We are loving being parents. At times we are so worn out we can't believe it. How can I possibly feed another baby? Lance is a pro diaper changer and burper. Many times, even in the middle of the night we will look down at the beautiful faces of our little ones and be filled with joy. We are in love with them. They are precious gifts.
Okay, I'm getting a little tired and think these babies are waking up soon so I'll just write some point form stuff.
--Festivals -- Lance has played at music festivals for the last two weekends I brought the twins and was so excited about getting to incorporate them into this part of our life.
--Grammy and Gramps -- Grammy (Lance's mom) has been coming over a couple days a week to help with the babies and the house. Gramps is a little jealous. :) They came over on Sunday - brought lunch, and then rocked the kids into deep sleep so Lance and I could have a much needed nap (Saturday night was one of the worst yet)
-- Me -- I'm recovering very well. Enjoying my new role as mom. Needing to get some new shirts to accomodate what I think Kristal referred to as "the situation" :)
eva's up and i'm down to one handed typing better go.
