Spring is here - and we're out!

Wow, it's beautiful outside and we can start introducing the boys to the world. I always had in my mind that when we had a second kid, we'd just be out there doing everything from day one. Then, when the doctors told us that we couldn't take the boys out until winter was over, I thought I'd go crazy. Actually, I think I did go crazy a few times in there but we held it together just enough. And there's that one time when we took them out, then Andy was admitted to the hospital again. Yeah.

Fortunately, this is one if the nicest springs we've had in my 10 years here in the northwest. I feel for all the friends back east who still have snow and cold. We've been going to the park and I braved it by myself with all 3 while Kristen worked. I feel like poppa bear who just finished hibernating.

We've been working with the boys trying to get them to sit. The physical therapist is worried that they'll start crawling soon without sitting first. They're still super stiff from being premature and in the hospital for so long. They're coming along nicely.

Bennett weighs 15 lbs and Andrew's 18 lbs. It's challenging to get enough calories in Benny. Both are eating baby food, fruit and veggies.

Samantha made them some food. She's making her first appearance in our blog in the Easter egg coloring picture. We decided that it was best for everyone to have her stay until the end of the year. She's so good with the boys and such a big help to us all.
