Baby suitcases

Hello Everyone! We received the most adorable little suitcases with snuggly blankets inside. They say "Ready or not Grandma, Here We Come!" We love them, and they'll be going on their first trip tomorrow out to Grandma's in Oceanside! Then, we'll be at The American Library Association convention in Anaheim until Tuesday. Why am I writing about this, you may be asking yourself. Well, the suitcases arrived without a note as to who sent them! If you sent them, please let us know, so that we can thank you properly!! Thank you!

Love, j&c and babies

Babies in the Gym

They're taking after their dad already--working out in their little gym! They seem to like it, but they're still a bit too young to really enjoy all the toys. Couldn't resist taking this cute picture of Matt in his swing. They're starting to smile every now and again, and one of these days we'll catch them doing that for a picture. xo, j&c and babies

Herb Morning Walk

It's quite a parade when Chris takes out two boys and two big dogs for their morning walk!

More pics

Here are various pictures--Matthew (will forever be known as "the one with all the hair!") Thomas, Chris, Dad and Shari, Michael and Jill and Olivia.

They're already about 9 1/2 lbs, and Thomas has caught up with Matthew. They're about 22 1/4 inches long and at the 75th percentile for their length. They're healthy and happy, and we are so blessed!!

Love, j&c

The latest

Sorry for the lengthy delay between posts! Last Monday the babies had their 1 month check-up (at 5 weeks, oops), and they were just perfect. They had their 2nd hep B shots, and they cried which was awful. With all the controversy about vaccines and autism, especially in boys, we are carefully considering how we want our babies vaccinated. We're reading books by Dr. Sears and by Stephanie Cave, and are likely going to follow in the path of our friends Stefanie and Francisco. They are only having their little boy get one shot per month.

I had my 6-week check-up Monday, and I've been given the all-clear to go back to work, exercise, and generally resume life. So, I started back to work yesterday, and I'm happy to be back. I'm working from home this week to try to get caught up. Chris is excited to be a stay-at-home dad. I've posted a couple of pictures here, and I'll add some more later. They are of me and the two babies (actually awake!), them asleep on the couch, and the last one is Mom and her kids (Michael and me), her son-in-law (my sweetie Chris), and her grandbabies--Olivia, Matthew, and Thomas.

Love, j&c
