I guess I got caught up in being a dad. I haven’t been very good at updating this. In my defense, this whole “having twins” thing is far busier than anyone expected…except those who already had twins and tried to warn us.
I’ve started a new job as a Caseworker with Child and Family Services. Good job, bit of a drive, but I like the down time.
The babies (whom I know you care more to hear about) are doing well. Rhett seems to have a bit of a cold, but we’re hoping that a new filter in the humidifier will fix his slightly stuffy nose. He is nearly 14 lbs now, and Ayla is close to 11. It’s crazy to think that they are over 4 months old now. Seems like only days ago we were childless and carefree.
You know how when you get older you look back on your childhood as “carefree”? You know: no responsibilities and yet somehow you thought life was tough? Well, now that we have kids, we look back at our early adulthood the same way. Life seemed tough sometimes, but it’s nothing compared to the responsibilty of child-rearing. But, at least this is a path filled with rewards!
Speaking of which, there have been occasions where Rhett has giggled. Only got a coupel in a row out of him – no belly laughs yet, and Ayla has restricted herself to screeching in pleasure rather than laughing, but there are definitely upsides to acting like an idiot in front of your kids.
Hopefully I can remember to turn that off when they bring friends over.
