State of the union...

Well, as you can imagine...its been a little hectic around here...and I haven't had the chance to do much more than post a few pics here and there. But this morning Sherri had to go see her doctor for a post op checkup and so I've been abandoned here with one three year old and a couple of little dudes that are pretending to sleep. I say pretending because its amazing how much noise they make even when they are sleeping...grunts, groans etc...it makes you wonder if they ever really do sleep. But hey, in spite of the fact that there are clothes to wash, a kitchen to clean, many many bottles to fill- here I am.

We are still without Bensen so in military terms we do not have the mission accomplished yet (no man left behind). I do think the secret op to rescue him will come fairly soon...and we are ready. AJ and Chase's beds were filled by a set of twins...when I met their parents I couldn't help but mutter under my breath...Whimps! Like seriously...only two? C'mon...it takes more than that to impress me. In our house the parents prefer to be completely outnumbered.

Most people are wondering what its like to have multiples in the house...and although I know its perfectly understandable to expect us to break down and freak out- don't get your hopes up. These little guys are perfectly normal. They cry when they're awake. They spit up after every feeding. We change their clothes many times a day. We feed them every 3 hrs. And change diapers at least twice as often as that. Do the math. Right now thats 16 bottles a day, 30ish diapers a day and my guess is at least 8 clothing changes a day. And we only have 2 at home. Oh yeah..then there's the 3 yr old. Oops- forgot about him.

The truth is, we are really enjoying having the little dudes. When you've gone through periods of time when there were real questions about your ability to even have kids...you don't take them for granted. Yes, they'll be a lot of work. Yes, I am sure my hair will turn grey and fall out. We won't have a social life for a while. And our holidays will consist of trips to McDonald's.

But this is it. This is what we wanted.
