I'm a little bit amazed that I have 5 minutes to blog, but I do, so I'm typing fast...excuse typos and grammar.
We came home yesterday and began folding into our lives the two newest residents of our home. I think we did 3 loads of laundry within the first 6 hours...it's amazing how fast these little ones go through clothes and changing pads. It's also unfortunate that the preemie diapers don't really help cover the boy, if you know what I mean. His little bum is so small that he can almost slide out of them at the most unfortunate of times.
Ethan greeted his brother and sister yesterday with his gentle touch, then he immediately remembered two different sets of crochet dolls given to the babies from two members of the church. He looked at the babies, ran into the living room to the special place we put the dolls (we had a discussion last month about these being the new babies' dolls), then came back in our room and immediately began giving the dolls to Anna and Oliver. So sweet.
I celebrate that the three of us, with a little extra helping hand from Troy every so often, accomplished a tandem feeding this morning...hallelujah!
This morning Ethan wanted me to walk with him to his caregiver's home (Nana was scheduled to walk). So the three of us did the walk together...me, no shower, no make-up, bedhead in my pjs walking 5 blocks in downtown Vancouver. What a great walk it was though...I could walk without getting out of breath or nauseus!!! The weather was cool and the breeze was refreshing...it was a great outing and I'm so glad Ethan demanded that I accompany him. Vancouver truly is beautiful at this time of the year (now if I could only say that about the rainy season too...maybe one day.)

Big prayers swirling around you all as I sit in west Texas under a huge starry sky. Thanking God for a grand results with the twins. Woo-hoo!
Beautiful! Could you send me a bottle of that "new baby" smell - LOL! Sniff - Sniff! Wish I was there. Way to go TEAM RANSDELL!! Much love & hugs from the Harmeier Happy Hacienda!
A tandem feeding is no small achievement. You are truly inspirational ☺ and I'm loving your posts!
Ah, priorities. You an Ethan got precious time "apart". No glamour needed...actually it's very freeing!You need a ball cap that says "Mother of Twins". No one will ever question your attire :)
This video is the most sweet, loving expression I have seen in a long time. "Baby noises" bring me back 21 years to my own...what a wonderful memory, and what a beautiful moment to share.
Love you all,
Aunti Elle
