Oh what a life it is...

"I feel like a bug hitting the windshield of an 18-wheeler -- caught off guard with the full impact of this is what life is for mothers today."



I am down in St. George staying with my sister Angie and she is battling the crying babes to give me a break so I thought I would write a little post or a long one whatever it turns out to be.


So, the twinners, as Liss would call them are 3 months old and as cute as ever, and as grumpy as ever. They are getting so big and chubby. If you blink you will miss it. I think that is why they won't let Mom sleep. They don't want her to miss anything. Either that or they don't want to miss anything. Eli will fight sleep until he is blue in the face, well red anyway, literally.














Don't let them deceive you. They were probably like this for 5 minutes or so. But they were oh so adorable for the 5 minutes. They love to snuggle up to each other.















My little nephew Ethan loves the Babies. At least he did when I first got here. He would wake up and the first thing he would say is "Bubbies? Bubbies?". This is a picture of him holding little Samuel Gene. He would freak out if anyone got close and acted like they were going to take the baby away from him. It has been a week now and he still mugs on them from time to time but he is getting very jealous of them and has been acting out for his Mom's attention. What a holy terror he is. Really he is always on the hunt for more trouble. Now I know what Angie means when she calls him Denis the Menice.















It's Bathy time for Samuel and Eli. They absolutely love the bath. It calms them down every time. They could probably stay in the tub forever and be content. It is when I take them out that they howl. If you are wondering why their belly buttons seem to be jumping out at you, it is because they are. They have a small case of herniated belly buttons. Hopefully they will correct themselves within the year.





















Here is the Twin Mom Pro herself, Lissa Lou. What would I do without her sympathetic understanding of it all.





















Hangin' with Linny


......and Boey
They love their cousins and their cousins adore them. How grateful I am for these helping hands.
Well it is 11:30 at night and Ang keeps buggin' me to go to bed and I guess I ought to but I needed a little bit of sanity. Thanks for listening.
Love,
Jill

7lbs 4oz


Just me, loving life. This is my favorite thing.

The Brothers

Eli was hungry and decided to suck on the closest thing to him...sam's head.

They were both weighed today and were both 7lbs 4.0 oz exactly! Besides that they are really different classy dudes. No sleep...but we love these guys.
