I know its been forever since I posted on the site, but the thing is that my new job (not that new anymore really) block non work related sites, and because my site has my games on it, it was flagged to be blocked. This means that the only time that I would be able to update the site would be at home, and I never even think about using a computer at home. I’m always playing with the boys and generally doing other things.

The boys are doing great they are over a year old now (13+ months) and they are walking around and getting into everything. They eat pretty much anything so its easy to feed them and that shows because they are each about 30lbs or so. I know I should really update the site more, and I’ve been thinking about getting back to it a little but that only crosses my mind when I’m at work, or driving home and then when I get home or have a chance to do something I always have others things I’d rather do then get on a computer again. So I really don’t expect the site to get regularly updated anymore, at least not for a while.

I’ve also been thinking of getting the code out for the games and playing around with it, but I don’t see that really happening either, the good weather is on its way and I’ll probably be taking the boys for walks in their wagon that they got for Christmas. So something along those lines. I know some people complained that they wanted to see more pictures on the galleries, but that system was never really the best and my wife always puts photo’s up regularly on her Facebook account. So if you really want to see new photos and you know me you can look me up on Facebook, and view some pictures there.

I know that really doesn’t bring you up to speed as to whats going on, but I doubt there are many people still checking the site for updates. So thats all I have for now, maybe we will see some more updates soon, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

The twins are doing fine… lets see whats new since I last wrote something? I don’t think there is much. Lately they have been sleeping in pretty good, so thats nice. They are eating more and more foods (Pears, Peaches, and Bananas) Overall they are getting bigger and stronger, they can almost stay in a seated position (they tend to fall if you let go and they are reaching for something). Other then that its alot of the same cuteness that we have come to know and love.

The big news is that I started a new job on Monday, and so far so good. The new job is much closer, although I’m still trying to work out the best route is to avoid traffic. The hours are shorter. AND! I got a laptop.

The work is generally the same as my other work but the company is in the Foam Insulation business so its an all new adventure!

Its true, Zachary and Joshua are already 6 months old. It seems like time is flying by, and they are getting bigger and bigger every second. Since they turned 6 months old over the weekend they had to get their shots yesterday. They didn’t nap very well in the afternoon afterwards so they were cranky but Zachary was able to sleep pretty good through the night. Lisa had to get up for Joshua a couple times through the night, so she is tired but he didn’t need a bottle until the morning.

I don’t know if I’ve talked about it before or not but they have been having “real” food lately. By “real” I mean that its veggies and not just cereal and formula. Lisa decided that we would make our own baby food. At first I thought that was a little crazy and figured that we would try it and find it to be a lot of work, but really it doesn’t seem to be bad at all. The doctor said to only try 1 new food a week, so its a slow going process but so far we have made Sweet Potatos, Carrots, and Zucchini. We just buy a bunch of the veggie and then steam it and process it, then we put it in ice cube trays to freeze it into cubes. Then when Lisa needs to take out something for their lunch she grabs a few cubes and melts them and its ready to go.

Zachary seems to like everything so far, and Joshua likes everything but Sweet Potato, so its going well so far.

Soon we will give them a fruit and in a month or so we might even start with meats.

Ohh and Joshua is 19lbs, and Zachary is 20lbs (even though Joshua is 2 or 3 cm taller then Zachary)

We finally have new pictures up you can see the new gallery here. There isn’t a lot of pictures but they are the good ones.

In a couple of the pictures you can see our new side by side stroller. We needed to get a new stroller because the one that we are using now uses the infant car seats as the chairs and they will be growing out of those car seats in a while. We looked all around at different strollers but found that we really didn’t have many to choose from. I’m not saying that there aren’t a lot of double strollers because there are tons. However these are mostly designed for Mini Vans or SUV’s that have large trunk space to carry them around in, plus they also seem to be designed for parents that have a toddler and an infant, this way one of the seats always seems to be a little smaller. I guess the idea is that they can keep the overall size a little smaller and by the time you need the extra space for your younger child the older child will be walking around instead of spending all the time in the stroller.

So far we are very happy with our new stroller the only thing we like better about the old one is that you don’t have to transfer the baby from one seat to the other you just move the seat with the baby (which allows the baby to continue sleeping in most cases).

Other then that (and its not something you can avoid really) the new stroller works great its much easier to move around, its lighter which is good because the boys are getting heavier, and the orange color is really cool. (I think thats Lisa’s favorite part).

Well enjoy the pictures.

I said last time that we had tried the boys on rice cereal but had to stop because they seemed gassy. Well after stopping that we noticed that they didn’t want to sleep as well as before in the night. So we figured that they did need something extra to help them sleep, but that rice cereal wasn’t the ticket.

The cereals for “starters” also come in Oat, and Barley (or something like that) so we decided that if rice cereal wasn’t going to work then maybe we should try Oat, and they seem to like it. Lisa has only been feeding them it in the mornings so that they can get used to it, and when we feel that its not going to interrupt their sleeping we will try again at night.

However, we have found that in the night when they wake up they don’t really cry they just sort of play alone. At first we would hear it in the monitor (cause that thing can hear a pin drop) and we would go in quiet them down (they would go back to sleep instantly). The problem is that if you have to get out of bed then your waking up enough to walk and it makes for a bad nights sleep. So now we are trying to leave them unless they start getting loud. We don’t want them to wake up their brother but as long as they are happy we are going to leave them so that they hopefully fall back asleep on their own.

Last night it seemed to work and they went to sleep at about 8pm and didn’t need a bottle until 5am, I was up a couple times just cause of habit but they didn’t need anything more then a little rocking to go back to sleep.

Lets hope this continues..

Oooh and one of our cats is SO annoying, she thinks of your awake its play time and come in meowing when your trying to put one of the boys back to sleep. The other day Joshua was just going to sleep and I was going to be able to get a few more minutes of sleep before I needed to get ready for work, and then the crazy cat showed up. The glimmer of hope was gone and I had to start my day early.
