Again, a little late, but this is the babes at 3 weeks. Miles had his O2 off for a bit for his bath so I stole some time for pics without the tubes. I love it!

So I thought I would put this picture on here because our family has a tradition of taking a new family picture every time we have another and we have a wall in our house with all of our hospital pictures. Here is the finale...7 people in our family. I actually ventured out with the kids by myself to Walmart of all places. Morgan had the day off of school so she was the cart pusher. I pushed the twins in the double stroller and it was actually kind of fun. I'm sure I got all kinds of looks, but we loved getting out of the house. It will be 4 weeks tomorrow since the twins were born and life seriously could not get any better. I love being home with the kids and being a full-time mom. I wouldn't trade this time for anything right now.

Sorry it has taken so long to get Halloween pictures up. Life has definitely changed around here. Some days are amazingly easy, some are amazing in the fact that Matt and I are still alive. Anyway, Halloween was really fun.....the kids loved trick-or-treating. If you have questions about Matt's costume, feel free to ask him yourself....you just never know with him.

Miles & Macy are officially two weeks old already! I cannot believe how fast time goes. They are both doing really well. Macy is already 5 lb. 8 oz. which is 2 oz over her birth weight. Miles is a little slower at gaining but he is 5 lb. 12 oz. which is only 3 oz. shy of his birth weight. He still has the oxygen on as you can see. We go to see the doctor on Nov. 5 and we'll start talking about weining him then, she said. They are both starting to stay awake a lot more and actually sleeping a little more during the night. Typically, I get about 2 2-hr naps and then some other little cat naps between 10 pm and about 6:30 am. It works for now. Luckily Matt is such an awesome dad and husband that I'm not doing anything by myself, even though he has to work in the morning.

This is their first trip in their new stroller that Grandma Backes and Aunt Jean bought them. It was so nice to get out in the Colorado sun.

Miles and Macy made their entrance into this world on Tuesday, October 14, 2008. Macy came at 10:55 am and Miles shortly after at 10:57. Macy weighed in at 5 lb. 6 oz. and Miles was 5 lb. 15 oz.

We made it to the pumpkin patch at Studst Farms this weekend.

The kids loved the corn maze and got in a dried corn throwing fight that Matt started.

Cirkle and I sat out the corn maze, it wasn't wheelchair and waddling-friendly.

Em insisted on carrying her own pumpkin to the wagon.

E-man and his pumpkin

I think the pumpkin was almost

bigger than Morgan

Carving pumpkins at the house was fun with Dad. Cirkle even enjoyed drawing a face on hers, but Matt did the carving for all of them.

Em thought the insides were really gross at first and kept wanting to wash her hands every time she put her hands in the pumpkin. She got the hang of it after awhile though.

Even though they all thought it was squishy and gross, it didn't take them long to start playing in it, eating it, and making a big mess!
