The latest joke around the house sadly has become me. I now work only for us to have insurance and whats left in my paychecks after insurance and taxes is simply change in someones pocket. Even the girls bring in more than I do (and they aren't even born) now that James has adjusted his W-4 to include them. I guess I'm the household bum. Maybe if needed Emma and Kate can give me a loan.
I don't know how cats do it. I guess its similar to Snoopy sleeping on top of his doghouse.
It has been a while since I have said anything... seem to let James do all the talking (really I forget how to post on this thing but I just had a refresher course so hear is my attempt.) Everything is going very well. Kate and Emma have picked up the growing pace and also the exercising pace. It has gotten to where a quiet moment without anybody moving around is rare. It's fun to watch and makes my stomach look like the top of a water bed. James learned this weekend that he can talk to them and they kick back in response. So now its fun for the whole family! Maybe we can teach them to kick once for yes and twice for no... that's probably a little above there level though. No big news really but hey with us no new is truly good news.
This weekend, Jenny and I had a house guest- a little beagle (or beagle mix) named Cotton. She and Nevi and Sophie got along well and we didn't have any spats or even any food skirmishes, which is rare for dogs. We also went to watch Georgia Tech get beat by the "Cesspool of the South" (UGA) and Florida State beat UF in the hockey tournament put on my Jenny's work's parent company. We had a lot of fun but ended up coming to the conclusion that 5 hours of hockey, cold civic center, and civic center food (eck) probably isn't very good for babies. The dog works but no more hockey. So, I need to find another couple of guys for a guys-night-out next year.
How dense of me... At the last appointment, both babies weighed in at a whopping 15 ounces. Jenny is very proud of herself. Boost and good food work wonders.
Okay, here are two more pictures. The first is of the nursery, known now as Emma and Kate's room. This is a really big picture 1+MB so don't click unless you want to wait a few minutes to see it.
The second picture is of the belly, as promised.
On another topic, Jenny and I have been reading the Bluffton Public Library's collection of Cat-Who books (named that by Jenny). We also picked up an Agatha Christy book but haven't gotten to it yet. Its one of those things - you don't want to read the unknown when you have something you know you like.
Be sure to check out the cute picture of Emma below.
Well, it has been an extremely long time since I last posted. Fortunately, its because everything has been going well. I have so many backlogged pictures to post and they probably wont be posted today. This past weekend, my mom and my two eldest, younger sisters came to Bluffton to decorate the nursery. Its all decorated in ladybugs, butterflies, dragonflies, ants (aunts, heheheh), and other insects- sorry correction - bugs. I supposedly came very close to having my man-card taken away by Ellen for stencilling and saying the
c-word. I also have a picture of Jenny's growing belly to share- whether she likes it or not, but that will have to wait for a lull in the week.
This is a picture of Emma at 22/24 weeks. Kate didn't want to cooperate with the ultrasound tech in getting a profile shot.
