Ok not much time, but just a quick update! Life is busy. But we are doing what I consider to be quite well. We have officially survived our first full two weeks at home. Woohoo!! Nana was gracious enough to take two full weeks off from work to help us, and now Grammy is here. Thank the Good Lord for grandparents!!! I really and truly don't know where we'd be without them. The boys are eating about every 3 hours during the day, and we are trying to stretch them to every 4 at night. Papa has been staying up late with Joe to help with the 11pm feeding and then he heads home. I've been going to bed around 9pm or so, while Joe stays up. Then Joe and I together do the 3am feeding. Then Joe goes to bed and I stay with the babies. Nana has been getting to our house early for the 7am feeding. This system is working pretty well...we are tired, but are able to at least get some sleep, praise the Lord!
They are really good babies! We laugh and just tell people we are in "survival mode" but they really have made it pretty easy. We have them both on the same schedule, thank goodness. If they were on different schedules it would be really tough...we'd be doing nothing but feeding around the clock.

Kate has been such a good big sister. We try to keep things as normal as possible around here, still taking her up to the pool and taking time to tuck her in at night together. She loves to hold her little brothers. When she wants to hold one she holds out her hands and says, "Hug-a, Hug-a!" Where she got this from, I don't know! :)

The boys are doing well, too. They are both back up above their birth weights (each about 5 1/2 lbs now) and eating great. We'll go back in about 2 weeks for another checkup.
Will's birthday is coming up this weekend. It is hard for me to believe it is August 1. I would still be pregnant right now...ugh! Thank the Lord!! More updates to come again soon as time allows ;) Thank you as always for the prayers! :)
