baby announcement...

okay, so we got sick this weekend.  thankfully not the two babies, just david and me.  and it was miserable!  fevers, sore throat, achy, headaches.  and our symptoms hit about six hours apart.  i would feel something, and sure enough, six hours later, david would!  the kids were great, however!!  

and, i decided that anyone i would send a baby announcement to reads the blog (okay, most anyone), so i am boycotting them.  not because i don't have time or anything.  i was going to sit down and do them now, while both kids are sleeping.  and i am not tired.  but, you all see the great pictures online, and hear all about our lives.  so, why waste all that paper (i'm being green!!!), money and stamps.  if you really want one, call me and i will print you out one!  (or, if you know of someone who would be offended...)

alright, the pics.  we have cute kids!  and they, at least nora, know it!  nora really likes to hold james' hand.  and she loves when i put him in her bed (i do it when i want to do something with her in her room and he is up... change her diaper, play, get her dressed, etc)  usually she just begs to get back in bed with him!  

she also asks for "two babies" quite often.  this means, she wants mommy (or daddy) to hold two babies.  it seems to squelch the crying and temper tantrum of whoever is holding james not holding nora.  i sometimes offer it, or she will ask when i am nursing, and she will snuggle up next to me on the couch.  she gets bored after a minute!!

since the temp is hovering around 100*, we have been spending some time at the pool...  nora enjoying laying out with her friend moira, and jumping in to daddy.  she did learn, the hard way, that it's not near as fun to jump in when daddy isn't there to catch her!  mmm...  swim lessons, here we come!
