A few weekends ago, Sallie came over to visit us. We all had a good time and the twins enjoyed meeting Sallie for the first time!

Busy Times…
I think about posting things to both this blog and Evan’s but by the time I get a moment – the last thing I want to do is sit in front of a computer…not to mention we have been without our camera for a few weeks (it got left in NY). I am going to try and carve some time into my day at least once a week for both sites – so expect some more frequent updates.

Month 2-actually two and a half
So Jen called it right – Cora weighed ten pounds eight ounces, she is in the 50th percentile. She is just under the 50th percentile in height (22 1/2) and 75th for head circumference.
Will on the other hand had reached the 75th percentile for all measurements. He is 12 pounds 9 ounces and 23 1/2 inches long. Obviously doing great in all categories. Cora unfortunately still has thrush in her mouth so we are putting medicine on again for a while.
The doctor was very happy with everything. The babes were not so happy with the shots, but they got over it pretty quick. We go back in four weeks.

Evan and the Alpaca
When we were in NY last week – we went to one of my friend’s house who raise Alpaca. We were fortunate enough to get a history of the Alpacas, pet some, and see a lot of the amazing things they do with the Alpaca fur. Thanks to Mager Mountain Alpacas and my childhood neighbor Tiff for the tour!

Evan at the Treehouse
Today Evan, Cora, Will, Grandad and I went to a play place called Treehouse, basically an indoor treehouse where the kids can just climb and run around and burn energy. Evan loves the place, so it made me happy that the twins were somewhat calm when we were there. Evan did a nice job playing with a lot of random friends and his two friends Caden and Emma, while Sharon, Rob, my father and I chatted on the side.
The pictures may look a little weird because we had to take many shots through the netting around the treehouse.

Cora and Will at Play
Today we began to notice how Cora and Will are beginning to recognize their toys on their vibrating chairs and toy mat. Here is a link to some nice shots….Cora even appears to be smiling in one shot.

Some new great photos
We have been busy in the last few weeks, many visitors and just the normal baby stuff going on. We have taken a few shots so you can see how amazing our little ones are getting. Both have doubled in size. Cora is over nine pounds and Will is over 10. Every day is a new day with new changes…some days they eat like crazy and other days we are throwing away formula because they decide they do not want to eat. This week they seem a little happier and calmer than last week so that makes us all happy.
Thank you Aunt Kathy for coming last week and helping out. It was fabulous to see you and I know that Evan, Cora and Will enjoyed your visit.

Happy Independence Day!
Yesterday we all celebrated Independence Day. Some of us had BBQ, others enjoyed a hot day outside…and the twins enjoyed their first night in their own cribs. I thought it would be only fitting to have their first night apart be on Independence Day and they did great. Cora finally slept on some pink sheets and Will did not have to worry about his sister crying in his ear when she got hungry. It is a bit odd to have them apart, but after seeing how big they are getting – I thought it was time.
They are getting so big in fact that we have to take out the extras in the pack and play (stuffed animals, extra burp cloths, etc so they can both fit in there.

Family Visit
The past couple of days have been a great time for all of us. Katie, Ellen, Mom Muller, and Aunt Jackie came to visit and Ellen and Katie bonded with all of the children. Ellen and Evan are new best friends (when he is not biting her) and Katie is a third mom to our little twins. It was wonderful to see my cousins and fabulous to have to have their help. I look forward to another visit – maybe August?
