Professional Pics!

Swoon worthy pics from my friend Aubrey. These were taken when the boys were 2 months old. Aubrey, aka the baby whisperer got them to sleep at the same time and was able to take these pictures.

I love this. Remember my friend MaryAnn? She made the amazing quilts that are in the crate with them. I'm pretty sure I'll be ordering a big size of this one!

Here's our little family. So complete.

I'm transitioning the boys to a new schedule and it is going fantastic! I'm using the book, The Baby Sleeps Tonight and today is there first day following the nap schedule and so far, so good! They woke and ate at 7:30 played until 9, napped till 10:30, ate at 11. Played until 1 and napped till 3. Now they will eat, play, go for a walk, etc. And if need be cat nap around 6. We were able to get so much done with them napping at the same time- it's been pure bliss!
I know a lot of singleton moms are anti-schedule but I can't imagine life without a schedule!

No Battery

So I left the camera battery up at my parents which means no pictures till we retrieve it. We're off to Bri's sister's wedding this week and the boys are staying at Gram and Gramps. So, there will be a lull in blogging. To make up for this.... I give you the precious and excruciatingly long and boring (if you're not his parents) video of Oliver in the Bath!

They're adorable!

We find ourselves commenting on how adorable the boys are pretty often because well, they are just so dang cute!

Here they are discussing plans for the day...and

just chillin' before going out...

Gramps and Ollie

Hey Gramps look I'm having a beer!

Chill man- I won't take your beer again-geesh!

So glad we made up!

The boy's baptism

Stinkin' blogger was not letting me post so this is a little late coming! The boys baptism was perfect! We were surrounded by so many great friends and family.

We both commented how surreal it was to see our babies be baptized. We really are a family of 4 now! Oliver was wearing his daddies baptism bubble- how sweet is that!?!?

Our wonderful friends Josh and Aubrey (the amazing photographer) are the boys godparents. Aubrey and I have become so close and she means so much to me, I really couldn't imagine life without her. She's the kind of friend everyone should be so lucky to have. Josh isn't so bad either! ;)
Amazingly enough, the boys did not make a peep on the 2.5hr drive up and back nor did they make a sound during the service. All that water I've been dumping on their heads paid off- I do think they were wondering where their ducky was though....

I've been...working!

I started work this week and it is going amazingly well! Everyone is so nice there, it really does feel like family.
We are off to Rhinelander this week-end to get the boys baptized!!! I have not been home since my sister had her little girl, Ashlynn at the end of January. The day I got back I was put on bedrest. Never, in my life, have been away from home for that long. I cannot wait to bring the boys to the church that prayed so hard for them.

I will post all about the week-end when we get back!

The boys first 4th!

My parents came down to spend the 4th with us at our friends Jenny and Eric's house. They have an amazing loft downtown which is perfect for watching fireworks. They also just happen to have the coolest family! This is Jenny's mom, MaryAnn holding Harrison. MaryAnn, is a twin and also has twin daughters. She is also a cancer warrior- she is battling it out right now and if you thought she was tough before watch out now! Jenny and MaryAnn were some of the first people I met when I moved to Green Bay and they immediately made it feel like home. Since then I have gotten to know the family so well and love each and every one of them!

Here's Harrison and Oliver all ready to go to the party. We keep little paci cases in their carseats so they always get the same paci- well we got smart and Oliver has the orange case- O for Oliver, which also means he has the orange rattle on his seat. Harrison has blue, B for business man which is what Bubs calls him. Ahh the simple things!

Below is grandma with Oliver. She's practicing for when she has him for 3 nights at the end of this month! eeeekkkk!

Face Lift

The boys have been napping like angels today which allowed me to do laundry, dishes, water the gardens, clean the couch and floors and spruce up my blog!

Let me know if it's too hard to read!

8 weeks old ;(

My little men are 8 weeks old today! They are so amazing and growing so much.
I can't wait for their 2 month appointment to see how much they have grown.

To celebrate we went to Puddleduck and got their baptism outfit and then to the mall. We made it through Old Navy, Gap. Bath and Body and Gymboree without any meltdowns. Bri and I will have to go to Gap because all sale and clearance is an additional 40%off.

I went to my first MoM's meeting last night and had a nice time. I'm not typically a shy person but I was feeling a little wall flowery last night. It was so nice to meet all the MoM's though. When I got home we fed the boys and they slept till 3:30, and didn't wake up again until 7:30. It was awesome!

As I was feeding the guys this afternoon, I just couldn't stop kissing them, I cannot believe they are mine. They are just so sweet and easy little guys. Their needs are so simple but what they give in return is out of this world.
