Here is a new picture of Jeff reading to the girls. As you can see, they are a captive audience.

With the cold weather, a new activity has been added to our daily things to do list. Along with the feedings and the diaper changes and the daily baths, now we have to deal with congestion. And I like to call it boogie management. There are other names, too. Boogie shopping. Boogie catching. It seems like I am constantly removing wonderful nostral shaped clumps of boogies from tiny tiny noses. At first, we were just using the little blue bulbs to get them out. Then we added saline drops. Oh my, saline drops are amazing. A few drops of saline and everything just pops to the surface, like a bouy. Pop! Here come the boogies, I say to the girls. Sometimes the saline is a little tramatic for them, but most of the time once that is done, the retrieval of the boogies, the collection if you will, is pretty fun. They smile and smile. I also sometimes use a q-tip to gentley get some of it out, this they love also. It must feel really good to have someone clear your nose for you!

Anya has started to notice the dog. She gets excited when she sees him and wiggles and wiggles to get to him. She could stare at him for hours. Oh my god, she is going to terrorize my poor old Archie as soon as she can move on her own.

Everyone tells me that the first 3 months with twins are the hardest. That it gets easier. Well. This is true and not true. Yes, things are getting easier. We sleep from 11 to 6 am. This is better than before. But I can't help but think that once they can crawl and walk, we are totally screwed. Right now, if I put Anya in the baby papasan, Anya stays in the baby papasan. This will not be so in about 3 months. They will be less easy to contain. Crap! I am torn because I really want to see them grow and change and learn, but crap! I want to survive this.
