some nights there is a long battle and who is going to win is always a question. It is clear here who won the game. Ahhhh..... what happened to when they were sleeping 8-10 hours a night. soon enough i will be the winner. Not that I am wishing Colin to go to camp, but as soon as he does they are sleeping in his room for the night and they Will have to figure out the whole middle of the night thing by themselves.

Us

 

He we are as we are all ready to head back home up the GSP. Dan and Blaze along with Vicky came down for the weekend. We had a great time with a lot of laughs. Thanks Metro!

do you think they are busy

We knew that we needed to get Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches before we left for the weekend, so of course Larry Googled best in the area and we found ourselves at Pat's in Point Pleasant, NJ. They were so delicious and I am sure, as we all know, they are better on the Jersey Shore than they are in Philly.

william in the pool

We pulled out the pool for the weekend in Manasquan. William Loved it so much. He spent almost an hour in the water splashing around and playing with Colin. Thomas, on the other hand didn't want anything to do with it. I put his feet in and he would not bend his legs to sit. He stood on his toes and screamed. It was so funny.

the fam

 

Here we all are together in one shot. There have been some folks out there pestering us to take a family picture. We spent the weekend down in Manasquan, NJ at Chalet Metro. We had a great time and the weather was beautiful.

We met some friends from denver in the city last weekend and had a great time. thomas loves drinking water from a glass and they are starting to grab anything i am eating to put in their mouth

so peaceful

 

Naps

I took the plunge today and put Thomas down for a nap awake and crying. It lasted all of about 5 minutes of bitching and complaining. Should have started this sooner. I have both boys taking naps in Colins' room. His room is jam packed with cribs and beds. Oh well, the price he will have to pay so I can get a good night sleep, soon.....

I just put them both in for a nap awake and it took less than 3 minutes of crying and 5 minutes of complaining. oh yeah this could work out for me

AND IN THIS CORNER!!!!!!!!

Ding Ding Ding....
Thomas Owen: 19lbs
William Evan: 17.10 lbs

Both boys are growing and progressing at normal rates. They are hitting all their 6 month milestones and in and above 50% for their age. The Dr. and I had the vaccination talk again yesterday and it went surprisingly well. Much better than I had expected. At our last visit he asked that I do some research, well I did and I was standing strong on our decision to not vaccinate this young. I explained that I felt that 24 months was a good age to start at and even then make sure that are mercury free, spread out and individualized to each shot. He was on board with that decision and asked that I continue to research and keep open dialogue with him about it. I have no problem with either of those requests. I left feeling good about the conversation and the boys left feeling good about having their thighs remaim untouched by sharp needles.

how much is that doggie in the window

 

Our small part

In an effort to help the environment and our bodies we have done what we can to give up using plastic water bottles. I have bought stainless steel containers from Klean Kanteen and we have a water filter from Berkey. So far is is working out well and nobody seems to mind. I even bought smaller sippy cups for the babies for when they give up the bottle and boob.

Slimy

I forgot how slimy and gross babies get when they Really start eating food. YUCK!
