What We're Doing...

I was about to download and post some pictures from the past week or so when I realized that Kevin has the camera. He and Eli left to explore a new park in Frederick. It looks pretty neat- I'm anxious to hear what he thought of it.

We've had a couple of nice days recently (and a couple of cold not-so-nice days). Eli has really enjoyed being outside and at the playground. My mom just left today after visiting for a few days and he enjoyed walks with her quite a bit.

The past week or so has been great. I'm really enjoying my time home with the whole family. My leave officially ends two weeks from today- just four days after the twins' actual due date. I'm dreading going back to work. I'm glad Kevin gets a full 12 weeks off. I also think I will take some additional days.

We're getting a lot done around the house since we're hoem together. Kevin has pretty much finished the basement (from the water damage this winter). It's now painted and cleaned out and has been turned into a play area for Eli. I really should have taken before and after pictures- it was quite a sight before. Eli loves being down there now and we now have another area to hang out. It needs more work in the decorating area, but we'll tackle that a little at a time.

Eli has been doing great lately. Everyday he surprises me with his vocabulary and his understanding. His mouth never stops- he pretty much narrates his entire day. He cracks me up all the time. I'll have to post some of our conversations here so I don't forget them.

Ryan and Spencer are growing like weeds. Their 2 month appointment is April 25 and I'm anxious to see how big they are. Their cheeks are really filling out! They are still pretty much on a 3 hour schedule, but they did have a night where they had a four hour stretch and then a 3 1/2 hour stretch. That extra half hour doesn't seem like much, but to two sleep deprived parents, every extra minute counts. I know they are still little and that the 3 hour stretches may last for awhile yet.
