Happy belated Thanksgiving

We thought our Thanksgiving would be a little dull. It’s our first Thanksgiving away from home, really. The “chef” at Scott’s work’s cafeteria had offered to prepare the whole Thanksgiving dinner for a nominal fee – any amount would have been great as far as we were concerned – at least Suzanne didn’t have to cook it! We expected Scott’s parents on Friday, but they ended up delayed a day and arrived yesterday. We had all kinds of food that wouldn’t be good by Sunday’s dinner. Scott and I certainly couldn’t eat it all. Fortunately, but really unfortunately for them, our next door neighbors had plans that fell through at the last minute. These neighbors are really our best friends here in Wisconsin – a great family. We invited them over and we all had a feast. It was the perfect way to spend Thanksgiving away from home – if you have to be away from home.

The twins were one month old that day. I can hardly believe it’s been a whole month already. I don’t feel any more in control than I did the day they came home from the hospital!

Just for fun, we’ve included a picture of Joe’s first Thanksgiving – his first taste of veggies.

In other good news, the babies are growing out of their preemie clothes. This is no surprise to Mom, since they have been eating a ton – every 2 to 2 ½ hours. We’ve calculated that they have nursed over 200 times since coming home from the hospital. They are starting to develop what the hospital nurses call “power pads” – those fat cheeks that help them nurse heartily.
