Then and Now

I thought I'd put up a couple of videos that showcase how much the boys have grown since they were born. We hope you are all doing great.

Another Nifty Slideshow...Presenting Christmas!

(Janine) Mom sent some pictures from Christmas, and I made them into another nifty slideshow. Except, apparently when you open the site in Explorer it looks all wonky. The powers that be are working on it. In the meantime, it seems to work fine if you open it with Mozilla.

The boys are getting more and more interested in each other. We were holding them at church yesterday facing each other, and they were smiling and laughing and grabbing for each other. It was pretty cute.

Five Months Old

The boys are getting more interactive. It is a lot of fun to watch them.

Tina's Cool Slideshow

I hope this works (this is Janine, btw). Tina made this cool slideshow using photobucket, and it appears that we can put a link to it on our site. I am feeling warm and fuzzy about the boys tonight because after three days of screaming and not napping, they had a good and happy day today. It is amazing that all it takes for them to be restored to favor with God and man (or at least mommy) is an afternoon full of smiles. Hope all is well.

One Day at a Time

I keep hoping the boys are going to crawl soon, or even do other interesting stuff (e.g. say "ninja," sleep through the night, grow enough to put them in the 95th percentile, etc). None of those events have happened yet. The best we got was that Reid found his thumb, sucked on it for a second, and gave up on it. The boys are doing really well though. If they could get rid of their colds I'm sure they would be a lot closer to sleeping through the night--a very exciting vision of the future. As a special bonus this week, Michelle came to visit and the boys met their favorite almost-Aunt. We were really happy to have her. I have to say, those Coons girls are AWESOME. Sarah comes all the time to help out and Michelle is like a patron saint. Enjoy some new pictures!

Happy New Year!

Happy new year everyone! So, we didn't quite get the pics from Christmas. I'll put some up when I get them. It was quite an event to have so many people get the stomach flu on Christmas day. Sorry to all of you who got it. I didn't get the stomach flu. Nope. I got the good ol' fashion flu while I was on my way home and spent the long, new year weekend sleeping it off. Fortunately I was better by the time Janine and the boys got back from Ohio. Thanks for having us. Despite the illnesses, it was still a lot of fun.

Gage rolled over for the first time this week, and both boys have learned to play with toys in front of them. We are sleep training them again after all the holidays messed up their schedule. They are doing pretty good about learning. The major inhibiting factor is the cold they caught on the flight to Ohio (fortunately they didn't get the flu). All the congestion is keeping them from sleeping soundly. Hopefully their sinuses will clear up soon.

I hope you are all doing well.

I've posted a video of Gage snuggling a bear while he sleeps.
