Go Colts!

Sunday night the babies cheered on their favorite football team, the Indianapolis Colts, as they beat the New York Giants. They looked so cute in their Colts onesies (thanks Greg!) and loved snuggling on their Colts blankies (thanks Mom!). Hopefully they don't grow too fast so they can wear their onesies for the Superbowl this year!

Play Date

Today Liam and Olivia had a play date with their "cousin" Ryan. They had a lot of fun, but I think the mommies might have had more fun than the babies! Thank you, Laura, for the yummy salad and much need adult company and extra set of hands. I know these kiddos are going to enjoy many more play dates to come!

Bad News and Good News

The bad news...

A few weeks ago Nathan injured his arm playing baseball. While playing first base the batter ran right into him and even the third baseman heard a loud pop. With twin babies lets just say this was not the best timing for daddy to hurt his arm. After an appointment with his general practice doctor, an xray, a referral to a sports medicine doctor, an MRI, and a referral to a sports medicine doctor who specializes in elbows, we learned that he separated his ucl (the tommy john's ligament) from the bone... ouch!

The good news...

The elbow specialist has determined that he will not need surgery. He has to wear an arm brace for two months and cannot play baseball or golf, but the doctor thinks he should make a full recovery. Even better news... the doctor cleared him for holding babies!

Taking Care of Twins

Taking care of Liam and Olivia sure is a lot of work... it doesn't leave much time for posting on the blog! A few updates and photos since my last post -

• Nathan has gone back to work full time (makes for one tired family),
• we celebrated Nathan's 29th birthday (the only picture I got was of Olivia in her cupcake outfit!),
• the babies spending more time awake now and like to swing and go on their play mats,
• we like to take walks around the neighborhood,
• Grandma Lori has been coming often to help (she made the cute blankies in the picture)
