HAPPY 1 BIRTHDAY!!!

Well as I sit here and look back on the day, I am very tired. Just as the twins birthday dinner had begun, Noah smashed his hand in the toy box and we were off to the hospital. Thank goodness they glued instead of stitched it. By the time we got home he was too tired to even look at his toys. Claire on the other hand had a ball. I can't believe how big they are. All the babbles and coos are turning into partly recognizable words. They both have developed quite a temper and do not care at all to let it show. I was told that the first year with multiples is all about survival. We not only survived, we have treasured it as well...........later...Polly

New experiences!!

well the last time I wrote, I was getting ready for the next day thinking same ole'-same ole'. Things were not the same. Somewhere we have picked up a stomach bug. First Bryan had an attack of the chucks and runs then Claire vomited for 24 hours straight only to pass it on to Noah and now Sam is making his stomach home to this bug. I am trying desperately hard to ignore the cramping going on in my own tummy, and praying that I did not unknowingly hand it off to the next unsuspecting family. We have stayed well away from the new baby in our family for fear of an unwelcome visitor in their house.I know how I feel with a sick 1 year old, I can't image doing this with a 2 wk old. Hopefully my major problem is lack of sleep and exhaustion from holding 2 at once. Thank God for good husbands, because I have no doubt that I would be in a lot worse shape if not for him..... Later... Polly

Long time -no write

My how time flies! The twins will turn 1 in 2 wks, and my they are getting so big. There are so many times that I think i need to write down what they are doing but I never do. They love the cabinets. I let them have 1 so they can climb into it and I find them hiding there all the time. Claire is such a character. She dearly loves her daddy. Noah dearly loves Wheel of Fortune. He will watch it for hours. They are still totally opposite and thank God for that because I don't think I could handle them if they were in to the same things at the same time. Now I just run from one thing to the other. Looking back, I can't image having just 1 of them. There have been a few times when things got crazy, but those smiles and kisses somehow make the wild days disappear!!! Later.....Polly
