Bad Timing

So Val and I go out with our Friend Adam on Friday night to see Tim Easton www.timeaston.com at Jammin Java in Vienna. We left the boys with my Sister in Law Suzie for the evening as we ventured out for a little us time. Apparently I didn't get the memo that you shouldnt eat the food there. Come about 11:00 pm that night I was starting to feel the effects of the Pork Chilli or BLT sandwich that I ate at 7:30 there. By 1:30 am my dinner had become a rental. (For those of you who arent familiar with my humor, that means I hurled). So I spent the better part of early Saturday taking care of that while Val was forced to be on her own taking the care of the boys for the night and morning. She proceeded to get about 4 hours of sleep which followed up the night before where she only got about the same amount of sleep as well. Luckily I woke up on Saturday morning from an hour nap at about 9:30 and miraculously the pain had subsided. I thought for sure the pain I was feeling was going to be with me for a while that day. So I had managed to clean up a little and go downstairs to find Val walking around with 2 kids like a Zomby! She allowed me to get a little more sleep because I was still a bit fuzzy etc.. After I woke up at 11:00 again she had pretty much thrown the towel in and it was my turn. Needless to say her highest priority was to sleep. Of course this was the weekend my mom was out of town so we had to call in the reserves and my step dad came over and helped me manage for a while. Once Val caught up with some sleep we were able to regroup a bit. Of course it also had to be one of the fussiest weekends the boys have had. Most likely due to gas or not as much entertainment from mom and dad.

The Lesson Learned here is never have the Pork Chilli at a coffee house and never go into a weekend like that with your wife not having enough sleep.

The Boys had their 4 month doctors appt. last week. Caleb weighs 14 pounds. Jackson weighs 11 pounds. Jackson is starting to eat a little better for us. But he is still a fussy eater. Caleb on the other hand eats just fine. The doctor officially says the boys are high maintanence. That means that they have a lot of little issues that are solvable and makes it a pain for parents to deal with. They are healthy babies and thriving well, just high maintenence. Luckily Caleb isnt as Fussy as Jackson. Having 2 Jacksons right now would be tough.

I say Jackson is a fussy baby but when he is in a good mood, he is so cute. He has the cutest little smile and will melt you with his little laugh/smile he does when you smile at him. Caleb has his moments being fussy but is always cute and either studying you or talking up a storm. Jacskon talks too and I think he is realy close to copying me saying "I Love you". Its real cute. Caleb is into hi pitch squeels now with a sort of whining coo to it.

Life is certainly busy taking care of these guys and sometimes I wonder how we will be able to handle it without breaking or going crazy. We just take it day to day and night by night and pray along the way and things work out. Since there's no manual for how to be a parent of twin infants you just learn it as you go and do what you can with priorities. Highest being the boys and me going to work.

Here are some pics Val took recently you might enjoy. Enjoy!
