Baby Update

Mr. Issac

Holy Moly this kid is a hoot!

His new favorite phrase - "I funny!"

Isaac will start preschool next June, in the meantime he's 

just learning all the bad habits he can from his big Bro!

Sweet Abigail

Last weigh in was 6 lbs 15 oz (I'm sure she's over 7 now!)

Eating, sleeping, pooping and being loved like a champ! 

Sir Noah....

Noah is doing excellent in preschool and swim lessons!

Noah loves his little sister, wants his turn to hold her, feed her, hug her, snuggle her

He's such a love - in this pic it looks like he's squeezing her like one 

of those Bug out Bobs!

Little Evan

The hospital is so sweet, once they learned what we named him

they made him a new sign. Warms my heart.

Sadly, Evan has had some set backs. He was doing so great, growing and gaining and eating - 

 we were planning on spending the weekend with him and bringing him home this Monday. The hospital did a procedure on his feeding tube but basically botched it. He's set back 8 weeks on his tube and at least a couple on coming home. He's doing fine, we're just so sad for him.

He's a sweet, mellow, snugly little guys. We can't wait to bring him home.

There you have it - our brood.

Room Rotations

For those of you concerned about the size of our house

and the number of occupants...

Never fear, everyone has enough room and personal space!

Part of this is documentation that at one point in history 

their rooms were clean and organized

The Twins

The BIG boys

So far the big boys are doing great sharing a room, a little rowdy at time and a little too much fun at times but all good all the time.

Happy 35th

Per the Masters request we imported KFC Chicken

and made all the fix'ns including

Apple Pie and Cheddar Cheese

More "gear" was gained for the Man Cave

A little sissy snuggle time

Happy Birthday DH - wishing years of happiness to come. Love you!

Now there are 6...

I know you're thinking I'm a total slacker with my posts. You're probably thinking I've totally flaked on the Real Simple dinners and have completely just abandoned my posts.

NOT TRUE!!  

I first want to apologize if this is coming to you by way of blog and not personally, you will soon understand why. Side note: I think I should write to Real Simple and tell them that doing their month of meals increases the population. Wonder how they would take that?

Our family was faced with a life altering decision a couple weeks ago. We made the decision,  hence the life altering! We were presented a placement "off the record" - it was doosie of a placement to think about. We thought about it and agreed to get sore information. Well....the information we gained was baby #1 was ready to come home! You're probably say to yourself; #1?

We were presented with a match of TWINS!!! Baby #1 GIRL (YES A GIRL!!)! Baby #2 BOY! Holly goodness for the love - OMG!!We were "officially" presented, we went back and forth and gathered more and more information until we said yes!

Abigail Yvonne came home to us on 11/1/2013. Abigail and Evan Michael were born 09/30/2013. They were born early and spent time growing and growing in the NICU before they were/are ready to come home. 

Evan is still not ready but we've had the pleasure of spending time with him, feeding him, changing and learning all about it. We hope he will be home in the next couple week (hopefully before turkey day).

A few stats: Abigail is now nearly 6 1/2 lbs and Evan is 5 1/2 lbs. They are growing and doing very well. All around Docs. are very pleased and don't foresee any complications.

Noah took this picture! Just kidding -

He was at school
