Now Entering: The Crabby Zone



Welcome to 5 PM to 10 PM on any given night. We are forced to be awake so we can sleep later. We have our own thoughts on this theory, and like Daddy, we voice our opinions often. Mom and Dad try to calm the storm with the pacifiers, but to no avail. Resistance is futile. Roman has an itchy trigger finger and will launch his pacifier across the room at the drop of a hat. Time elapsed between photos is 0.0000427 seconds.
Roman and Eden are staring to get big. Quite big. Roman is over 10 pounds and Eden isn't too far behind in the 9 pound range. They are both healthy, sleeping up to 4 or 5 hours at a time and becoming more and more aware of and interested in their surroundings. Both like walks around the house (on the inside), listening and dancing to Daddy's singing and of course eating. They're also looking forward to being baptized which is coming up in April. Details on that will come soon.

Ready for a trip to church in the amazing sleep-inducing wheeled machine - otherwise known as: the car. Special thanks to G and G Wolters for the cold weather gear which is both fashionable and functional.

Daddy with Eden in her Sunday best. Tights and diapers are an interesting combination.

Daddy enjoys playing around with us as much as we can tolerate. Alright dad, enough. I'm suffocating here. By the way, I'm going to blame that smell on you too.

Our new favorite place to be: the vibrating chairs.

Happy Valentines' Day to you Mommy! Treat yourself to a massage at the day spa. Then come home and Eden will puke on you.

Twins giving their presents to Daddy on his birthday. Pretzels. Mmm. Reese's Pieces. Mmm. Ipod. Oooh.

Daddy's favorite present - a beautiful wife and healthy family. Roman is spooked by an apparition behind the camera. Eden spots a pacifier still ricocheting around the room.

Roman implores visiting cousin Toby to do his bidding. "Yeah, yeah, now listen a second. Go over to the fridge and snag one of those bottles of milk. I'm famished here, buddy. Just look at me. I'm wasting away. Yes, I see your mom over there. Now, it's milk time. Stay focused."

Welcome to the show tonight. No cover charge but it's a two-chin minimum.
