Whoa! Snow!
Later that morning, Scott was holding a baby up for Joe to give kisses, and just as Joe leaned in, the baby spit up. It was gross, but funny. Now that I think about it, many things can be described that way in our house now days – gross, but funny. Like every morning when we do their changing routine. They get baths every other day, otherwise, it’s a complete diaper, undershirt, outfit, bib, blanket and sock change. The twins usually take their fresh clothes as an invitation to immediately dirty them again. And when I say immediately, I mean it. We have to keep four diapers out for that morning change and at least three of everything else. For the past three days in a row, mom has also needed fresh clothes after the changings. The laundry around here is just plain depressing!
The poor babies! They take baby Zantac for symptoms of reflux – very common for babies, especially preemies, but they HATE it! They’re still small enough that they can’t fight us giving it to them. They do make some darn cute faces while they gulp the nasty stuff down.

Tonight, I was giving Joe a goodnight hug and was patting his back – probably out of sheer habit with all of the baby burping we’ve been doing. Anyway, after a few pats, Joe gave me a fake “urp!” We all had a good laugh.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! We certainly miss having you all in KC, but this is the next best thing to being with you!! Granddad and I always get a good laugh looking at your pictures and reading about your day to day challenges with three little boys. Suzanne, Katie and I laughed about your description of the gross realities of your life with a house full of boys and certainly empathize!! We hate to tell you but it doesn't get any better as they get older!!! But hten, we know you have realized this sharing bathroom and bedroom space with a bunch of boys at our house!! We are so looking forward to our week in Milwaukee next week. Still not sure if we will drive in Sat. or Sun. Hopefully Saturday!!! We love you all and will call you later in the day. Love, Grammie
What do you mean a fake urp, he learned that from his father!
Now I know where Joseph learned to make that facial expression- from the twins.
