This could be a really big post, so watch out!

Big week! Slyvia finally had the twins on Tuesday morning. Luckily her body cooperated and her water broke. Both children were born vaginally. They are big - Zach (the OLDEST) is 8lbs8oz and Sara is 9lbs1oz. Congrats my friend. Wish I could be there to see them and help out. Hopefully I can post pictures of them soon. (I figure I will hear from Sylvia in about 6 weeks when she's got everything figured out!!!!)

We took the boys pumpkin picking on Wednesday. Pictures further down.

Finally learned something in nursing school (only took 1/2 the semester).

I'll have more great pictures after tomorrow, we're taking the boys in costume to Boo at the Zoo.

This is a miracle...

It's fall!

Thayne at the pumpkin patch (I had to push the back of the wagon b/c he just had to pull it but wasn't strong enough over the uneven ground).

LOVE little boys in overalls!

I actually got 2 layouts done!

So, the circle is complete. Now the whole family has been treated at St. Lukes Meridian ER. I woke up in excruciating pain on Monday night at 2:30 AM. Later that morning I passed a kidney stone. Yeouch!

So it's been kind of a wierd week.

Chris is competing in a chili cookoff at work today. They do it every year. He actually made up the chili from scratch and its pretty good. We'll have to have him write it down so that everyone can have a copy.

It's a good thing that I got so much homework done at work this weekend because I haven't gotten anything done yet this week.

I got all A's on my first round of tests. I don't think this semester is going to be very hard.

Braedn is still doing pretty well with the potty training bit. I talked him into wearing a diaper to bed at night, and we still haven't seen him poop on the potty...

Sylvia is still pregnant. Hopefully not for much longer! She is so done being pregnant with twins.

Have a great week. I'll post a new layout later!

Drumroll please!! Braedn has worn underpants for 2 straight days. His only accidents have been right after waking up. He just can't seem to get to the potty in time (but no wet bed). Maybe we are finally ready to be a "big boy"!

I finally got a decent picture of the two of them together as well today:

This is Thayne's new friend Wags. He even sleeps with him:

One of Thayne's newest favorite things is to play in the bathtub. Most of the time the water is running and he has still got all of his clothes on. Boy we have to keep a close eye on this child!

I can't believe we register for next semester already. Looks like I'll be in class Tues/Wed/Thurs pretty much all day. Wednesday will be my first clinical.

Have a great weekend.

Ended up with 4 tests yesturday. Yikes! So I'm gonna skip my theater class today, and I don't have lab this afternoon, so only one class. On the other hand, I have a scheduling meeting at work on Thursday and a play that night, so I'll make up for being home today anyway.
Braedn has gotten up in the middle of the night 2 nights in a row now. Dad ended up sleeping with him last night and me the night before.

By the way - it would be nice if you would leave a comment if you stop by. I'm starting to think that I'm talking to myself....

Just click on comment right after this post...

3 tests tomorrow and tuesday

Big couple of days for me. I've got my first 2 nursing exams and a cinema exam. I'm really not that worried about the nursing exams, which is worrying me. I really feel like the stuff they are expecting us to know is fairly elementary, but I won't know until I take the first ones.

I think Braedn has finally adjusted to his new schedule, jee it only took 6 weeks.

Here's some recent pics:

Yes - he put the box on his head all by himself...

Happy

All tatooed up...

Thayne too

Playing

Expect to see these last two in a scrapbook page soon...

Hugs,

Kary

I actually got a new layout done. LOVE this picture of Braedn.
