Growing up fast

Hey guys, Mom here. Just wanted to let you all know how the boys are doing. Well they are growing up so fast. Today they have been crawling forward more and more. Also Logan has been trying to lift himself up already. He tried to do that a couple of times on the couch. He also fell over but luckily he didn't. Anyways, the boys experienced their first Halloween. They were Thing One and Thing Two for Halloween. They looked so cute in their costumes. Unfortunately they kept pulling the feathers out so we just used blue beanies the rest of the night. LOL. Anyways, other updates, the boys are starting to eat table food. They tried bread and some fruit and vegetables. Of course, they had cookies, thanks to Joey's mom. LOL. :) Hopefully by this Thanksgiving they will be eating more table foods so that they can have their first Thanksgiving dinner. LOL Anyways, that's pretty much it for the updates. Hopefully, we will have more in the near future. Until then, here are some pictures from their First Halloween.

With Love,
Mom, Joey, Logan and Tristan

Small Update

So it's been a few months since the last post. We're happy to report that the boys are doing great, and they're dang near crawling at this point! I wish I had some pictures on this computer to upload, but I don't, so I'll look to getting them posted sometime soon. We hope everyone's doing well, and if we haven't talked recently, drop us a line!

Much Love,

Joey, Randi, Logan, and Tristan

4 months old!!!!

Hey everyone, Mom here. I just wanted to give you all an update on the boys. It has been three months now since we have been home from Loma Linda and the boys are growing so fast. Logan and Tristan are holding their heads more steady each day and now Tristan started teething. YAY!!! LOL I can't believe how fast time has gone. It feels like only yesterday that we found out that we were even having a baby. Anyways, Logan is now 12 lbs and 4 oz and Tristan is 10 lbs and 12 oz. They have doubled their weight since we got home. Crazy!!!! They are beginning to roll onto their backs when they are placed on their bellies and Logan has even tried rolling back onto his belly. They respond to our voices and they smile all the time. They are even smiling at their reflections in the mirror. I have also gone back to work full time and Joey stays home with the boys. LOL!!! We are still facing some rough patches in our life right now but I know that in the end, it will all work out!!! In the mean time, love each other and embrace all aspects of life.

Mom!!

Please Pray for the Freeman Family

It's been a while since our last post, but we will have a new post with pictures soon. I just wanted to take a minute to ask all of you to pray for the Freeman family. Our blog features a link to the Freeman blog,"Pray for Kayleigh," which outlines the 11 month struggle they had with the health of their baby, Kayleigh, who passed away Monday night. It is absolutely heartbreaking to think about the pain they must be experiencing right now. Kayleigh was born 3 months early and weighed only 1 lb. 1 oz. For about 10 months, she persevered, even surviving open heart surgery, but a recent operation apparently resulted in a tragic downturn an in an instant, their battle was lost. My heart goes out to the Freemans, and I hope yours will too.

We love you.

Take care of each other.

New Pictures

Hey mom here, sorry that we haven't posted anything new.. the boys have been keeping us busy especially now that i have returned to work last week. anyways, here are some new pictures of the boys.. taken from easter and some that i have done on photostudio.. i dont know when joey will post a new update but hopefully soon.

4 weeks old; one week home

Well we've been home for a week now, and it's been a busy one! Aside from trying to get the home in order again, we've had a couple of appointments, and have just been trying to adjust. The nights are getting easier, though - I'm not sure if they're sleeping better or if we're just getting used to it. A little of both, I expect.

At any rate, it's getting better, they're getting bigger, and it's just awesome to be here with our babies! Here are a few pictures we've taken since coming home.

We love you.

Take good care of each other.

Go Ahead and Laugh

So yeah, it's 3:26 a.m. and I'm still awake. Go ahead and laugh, all of you who've been telling me to give up sleep; you're being proven right, even as we speak.

I don't begrudge you being right, though. I mean that. I'm just happy to be HOME.

The awesomeness that has resulted in my lack of sleep is simply that the boys are finally home! :) We got in somewhere around 9 p.m. on Thursday, so they're still settling in, but the important part is that we're here.

Logan's a little fussy tonight, and doesn't seem to want to sleep in the crib, although he's apparently liking the bassinet. Tristan, by comparison, is conked out in the crib. For my part, I'm going to wait till Mom gets up to pump and feed Tristan and I'm going to try to catch a little nap.

Other than that, pics to come sometime soon! (I'd say tomorrow for sure, but you never know.)

Love you all..Take care of each other.

I love it when a plan comes together

So, after the seamless execution of a brilliant plan involving the use of elaborate decoy versions of themselves and tunnels dug over the course of the past three weeks with nothing but sporks, Thing 1 has escaped Loma Linda Medical University, and a very reliable source informs me that Thing 2's escape is imminent. That's right. My kids are ninjas.

Basically, Logan has been discharged as of this afternoon, and Tristan's on course to be discharged tomorrow, which could have us home in the evening. This is pretty amazing, as the twins' due date was originally April 5 - two weeks from next Sunday! Logan and Tristan have truly exceeded everybody's expectations and are doing beautifully.

In other news, Logan exacted a measure of revenge for yesterday's circumcision when, earlier today, he gleefully pee'd on the doctor who performed the procedure.

Mom is over seeing Tristan now, since we have to go one at a time. It's worth it though, to have our little buddy with us! Anyway, God willing, we will be back home tomorrow night, sleeping in our own beds.

That's all I've got for now.

We'll see you when we see you.

Take good care of each other.

could be a dream come true

hey everyone, mom here. I just wanted to let you all know that there is a possibility that the boys will be released this week. The nurses told us that they are doing Logan's circumcision tomorrow and that he would be released on Wednesday and then they are going to do Tristan's circumcision on Wednesday and he would be released on Thursday. Finally we will be able to go home BUT we are not going to celebrate just yet because things could change by then. anyways, the boys will also be meeting their grammy and grandpa chuck tomorrow. Joey's mom and stepdad will be with us this week. this could be an exciting week for all us. but until then, its still a wait and see!! i will or joey will let you all know if anything changes. and thank you for all your love and support through all of this.

Love,
Randi
