Welcome Rosemary and Eleanor!

The girls made their entrance into the world on November 15th, 7 weeks early, and we brought them home from the hospital last Wednesday in the middle of a snow storm. They are both sweet and lovable and we are really glad we decided to keep both of them!

Oscar likes to visit them in their bedroom and touch them with one finger, because that is the rule. Sometimes he wants to bite them, but I have politely told him that is rude.

Here are some pics of what we have been up to since the girls arrival.
 
The girls spent nearly 3 weeks in the NICU. I cried when we left. Not out of fear of taking care of my own babies, but I met some really nice nurses and will miss their company.

Our first night home was joyful and peaceful!

A gift from Oscar's sisters. He loves his new bike, which we let him ride in the house because he is the boss of us...

The girls are not identical and will be hooked up on heart monitors for a bit. They were kept a part in the NICU, but clearly know that they are best pals.

 By the way, Oscar is pregnant...

with twins!

We are all right where we belong, under one roof!

Family Photo Year 3

Life is anything but normal right now. Everything we do feels like it is in preparation for the twins. Buying a couple of extra sticks of deodorant,  donating all of our books, vacuuming out the car...it's all for the babies!

We did manage to take our yearly Bagley Nature Area Family Photo. I wanted to share some of my faves!

If you scare easily don't read the next sentence. I still have 10 more weeks of belly growth to go, eek!

The Invasion of Ponies and Pink Ribbons

I declared my return to blogging with good intentions. Then we had a bit of a set back that we had to cope with before sharing the news...

Our sweet donut loving baby boy

is going to be a big brother to 2 baby girls.

Meet Baby A and Baby B. The bottom photo is their two noggins plotting how they are going to torture their big brother. Poor guy! These little girls are scheduled to arrive in December. Anyone know of a screaming deal on a mini van?
