Pics of our new life!

We are home and the boys LOVE their little brothers! All three can't get enough of them and they argue and fight over who gets to hold who, who gets to burp, who has held them the most that day...you see where I am going! The twins went in on the 11th for a weight check and to see the peds doctor. Conner weighed 7lbs 1oz and Kooper wieghed 5lbs 7oz. Then they had to go in again on the 19th for the same thing. Conner weighed 7lbs 10oz and Kooper weighed 6lbs even. Can you believe that? They gained twice as much as the doctor expected them to and they now can sleep at night until they are hungry, no waking them every 3 hours anymore which is nice. They now sleep 3-5 hours and Rikk helps so I can't complain about the twins at all. Mom comes out about 3 times a week and stays all day. She has been a HUGE help and we are so glad to have her. I KNOW my overflowing laundry baskets of clothes wouldn't get folded and put away if she wasn't here to help! Plus, I can take a nap and play with the three older boys outside. But here are some pics and they are in order from oldest to newest.

Fishin'

One day before we left Anchorage and I had a couple hours between feeds we took the boys fishing to a lake out on the base. They each caught their own little fish for the very fist time and were thrilled, but sad they had to put them back. They can't wait to do more fishing and camping this summer.

A Few of Our Favorites

Here are a couple of pictures of some of the people that helped us get the twins here and then helped us get them home. Sharie and Susan, sorry I didn't have a camera to take your picture with them the last time you were with them.

Good Bye NICU, Hello Home!

For those of you who don't know already, we are FINALLY home. Conner got discharged from the NICU on the 8th and Kooper on the 9th. We headed home on the 10th and got in pretty late. But everyone is doing well and enjoying being back in our own house. I will post more later on how everyone is doing and visits with the pediatrician last week and this week.
