We are finally home. I guess I can call it home even though I have only been here 5 days. We arrived on Tuesday, Lorraine, Dick, babies, 2 car seats, stroller, luggage and all. The flight went well (although we didn't get our fresh baked chocolate chip cookies that Midwest Express Airline advertises about). Jack fell asleep quickly but Adam fought it. He was so tired and beside himself but he just couldn't fall asleep. Finally about 5 minutes before landing he was out.
The house looks really good. Chad had put a lot of the stuff away but there is still a lot of organizing to do. Dick and Chad organized the basement and garage. Lorraine and I decorated several rooms. Oh, and of course we shopped! After our long days of cleaning, organizing, chasing babies, and decorating, we all played pitch. Dick and Lorraine left this morning. We are going to miss their company and help, and of course they will miss the babies.
So, I have a new friend. Her name is Courtney. Ok, maybe she doesn't know we are friends yet, but we are. The other day I pulled in the drive and this mom was pushing a stroller. I introduced myself and she invited me to the play group she just started in the neighborhood. She has an 8 month old daughter and she told me there is another couple down the street that has boy/girl twins that will be 1 in July. I'm excited to meet everyone.
The boys are adjusting just fine. We are so totally off a schedule that I feel like I am dealing with newborns again. I'm not sure if they are waking in the night because they are teething, scared of their new surrounding, or just hungry. I decided that I will give it 2 weeks then try to ween them off the night bottle. Now that they both crawl fast I have to keep a very close eye on them. They like to pull drawers open. We are going to home depot today to buy baby proofing supplies.
I will post pictures when I can find all of my camera equipment.
