Dancin’

Not sure why, but if they’ve got stuff in green or blue, Z is always in green, Q always in blue. Maybe that’s why: Zeeeeke greeeen, Quuuuuue bluuuuue.

Sleeping

Ah, sleeping babies. But how is this even comfortable? And how did Q’s pants get in Z’s crib?

Really?

Sunscreen and hats on, bottles prepped, playpen brought outside. Sun shade up, bottles drank, Mom weeding. 15 minutes and 7 mosquito bites later it is clear to me that the lawn growing in to the flower bed actually looks pretty good, not even sure why I started to change that.
Tulips!

Thanks to J’s hard work, all those bricks are gone, guess I’ll try again tomorrow

Zoo

Had such a lovely time at the zoo yesterday. We met up with 5 mommies we shared the Elephant Pod with in the NICU, plus Nicole who was there just before us and is part of the twin group we hang with. So awesome to see 10 healthy babies, all born between 29 and 34 weeks!
Broke out the new hats from Aunty T
We also had a play date with Max this week. He was born (full term) 1 week after the boys. Here they are in August at my baby shower:And here they are this week! Good job on the "catch up" ZQ!

ONE!

I feel so privileged to be Mom to these 2 amazing little boys.

They each got a cupcake cake, and enjoyed their first taste of sweets immensely. These little loaf pan ones will make great cars next year

Martha I am not!

They were of course showered with love and presents from friends and family.

I’m looking forward to this next year, enjoying each stage and remembering to sneak cuddles when I can; while they’re small enough to fit just in my arms.

Holy Smokers

In 8 short days the babies will be one. ONE!

Holy Smokers

In 9 short little days, the boys will be one. ONE!! Time is flying by.

Thumbs

I have a black AND green thumb! We’ve had this spider plant for probably 12 years. One of the first we ever bought. I don’t really like spider plants, so every time it got a runner, I’d replant the little baby plant and give away the big one. And apparently what they say is true – these are very hard to kill. It was on top of my fridge, lonely and forgotten, when I brought it down there was just a tiny bit of green. Add water, and voila! New plant! There’s now even new shoots out of what I thought was the totally dead side! Yes, black AND green thumb.

Putting it Out There

I’m excited to say that my “60 Day Slimdown” workout dvd’s with Lindsay Brin arrived this week in the mail. Gosh I love online shopping. And babysteals.com. In the last 10 years I have really “let myself go”. I don’t really have any excuses other than pure laziness. I know I just had twins, but really, I didn’t JUST have them ~ they’re 9 months old today. And I actually only weigh about 15lbs more than pre-twins. (also sad b/c I did get down to 5lbs). So, I need to make changes, starting with these workout videos. I’m just gonna put it out there, and hope it shames me into succeeding. I weigh 211 lbs. My goal is to weigh 125 lbs. That’s 86lbs folks.
