Our Week So Far

On Monday Keith and I decided that we didn't want to sit and home all day. So we called Grandma and Grandpa (G&G) to see if they wanted to venture out to see the snow. They agreed, so we decided we were going to go to Julian and have some apple pie. G&G were especially brave and took the girls in their truck, and we drove Keith's dads new Jeep. (I don't know that Keith driving the Jeep was such a good idea because now its just another thing on the wish list...) First we stopped and had lunch at a cute little Restaurant on Lake Cuyamaca, and then we made our way up to Julian and had apple pie.

On the way home we decided to take the long way home via Mount Laguna....This is where the adventure began. Some young guy flagged down Keith's dad in the middle of the road. Keith's dad pulled over and it turns out that him and his girlfriend had gotten stuck in the mud off the side of a hill while offroading. Keep in mind its 30 degrees outside and its dark! Of course Keith and his dad had to go rescue this young kid. So I hopped in the truck with Keith's mom and the babies (screaming babies!!) and Doug jumped in the jeep with Keith and we waited while they went to free the kid. They were successful and then we made our way home, over an hour later.

Yesterday Keith cashed in on his day off and went fishing with the boys. I spent the day with Keith's mom. We had a great time! We spent most of the day just loving on the girls, and then we decided to venture out and go shopping at the outlets. The girls were so good, and they just slept most of the time. Keith's mom got them their very first bathing suit! It is absolutely adorable, its pink with a little tutu ruffle around the bottom. I cannot wait until they are big enough, and its warm enough for them to wear them!

The Big News of the week is that Kylee has been pooping regularly all on her own!! We have been having troubles with constipation since she came home from the NICU, and it finally seems as though things are "moving" along as they should.

Today Keith had to go back to work, but he didn't have to be there until noon. We spent the morning finally finishing up the nursery. We hung up the shelves and organized the mounds of stuff we have accumulated for the girls in recent months. It is so cute!! The girls also took their first nap in their cribs today. It went really well. I swaddled them up tight, made sure they were fed and dry and they went right to sleep. I don't know that we are going to attempt it through the whole night yet, but we are making progress at least!!

This afternoon, I took my mom to get her hair done and Uncle Jayson watched the girls. He is so good with them!! I think it is really good birth control for him to babysit them. The girls have been so good today. Just within the last couple of days their little faces are really coming alive with all kinds of cute expressions, they are even starting to smile! They are also having long periods of happy time, where they just like to sit and enjoy their surroundings. It is amazing how much they change on a day to day basis. They are so perfect, and I just love them more and more everyday.
