October 14 Update - Ten Weeks Old

So the twins are already 10 weeks old (today). Here are some of the things we have learned so far:

1. You really can function on less than 5 hours of sleep for prolonged periods
2. After getting 5 hours of sleep for prolonged periods, use of kitchen knives is not advised (Jason has already cut his fingers twice)
3. Using a diaper that is too small for a baby leads to more laundry (due to unfortunate diaper leaks)
4. Poop really can travel across the room in a stream like a water fountain
5. "I'll be there in 20 minutes"....ha! That doesn't exist anymore!

We are sure there are more things we forgot...oh yeah...sleep deprivation makes you forgetful.

Anyway, below are some recent pictures of the Little Darlings.

The first big family outing. We went to Honey Pot Hill apple orchard, and spent the first hour and a half waiting for bottles to warm, feeding the kiddos, and then changing an unfortunate diaper leak (see #3 above). But it was a nice fall day and we got to enjoy the weather.


After we finished with the feeding and changing ritual, it was off to the Apple Orchard and Pumpkin Patch. The kiddos were comfortable in their carriers, so we decided against pumpkin patch photos with the kids next to the pumpkins.
