7 Months of Bliss

I know, I know -- we have become terrible bloggers. It's just sooooo hard to find the time. Several of you have been on my mind lately and I miss the "blog-family", even though several of you follow along on FB. We would like to share some updates on the boys.

Oliver and Jack are growing so fast, it's hard to imagine how very small they were at birth. They are both amost 20 lbs, eating like horses and Wren has still been able to keep up with breastfeeding. They are happy, giggling, squealing,  babbling, jumping, so loving and almost crawling little beings of emense energy. So here are the past 7 months in pictures:

Newborn: December


Sweet, sweet snuggling boys

We marched in the DC parade this year with Rainbow Families. The boys were a big hit -- here Wren is marching and waving to the crowd.

After the parade, the boys were so happy and proud

7 months has seemed to just fly by. We are so smitten by our little guys. Now that you are all caught up, here's hoping we can get back into blogging and keep you up to date with all the joy filling our lives.

 You may ask -- how do they do it with twins?? It's simple really.....COFFEE! Some days are rough, but we can't imagine our life any different. Every day is a joy, even if it starts at 6am --- at least they have smiling faces that early. Wren and I's relationship is stronger than ever. It has to be, otherwise everything would collapse. We work very well as a team.

Thank you to all who have emailed, commented, given your support etc during our blog absence. We hope you are all doing well and hope to hear from you soon again!


xoxo,

Finch, Wren, Oliver and Jack

  5. You have no idea how happy this post made me. You have been GREATLY missed in blogland. Face.book is helpful to keep in touch, but compared to the blog, it is a lot like the "a tied game is like kissing your sister" analogy from baseball...just not the same :)

    PS-LOVE that J and O have made their first trips to the field!

  6. What a great post of updates and pictures - thanks so much for sharing! This is so BIZARRE because I was just thinking of your family of 4 just yesterday afternoon and wondering how you were doing.
