Swaddling, movies & rising singers!





I can't believe it's the end of July, seems like the twins just got here and I was pregnant for only a blink of an eye! They are now in their 6th week and growing, yes, like weeds. Nia is 8.3lbs and Sam is 5.5lbs and both have developed fabulous vocal chords that will enable them to sing in any musical genre; Nia also has the stance of a tyical drummer, arms open and feet constantly on the go. Our local firetruck, and cat begging for dinner have no competetion w/these 2. Honestly I must say they are very good babies, they never cry unless they are hungry or have a soiled diaper. Bless them!!
I saw them smile 2d ago (not sleep induced smiles) but real smiles! How sweet is that, and both can be Houdini w/my swaddling. Dennis is the king of swaddling, he spent many conversations w/the nurses getting secret tips on mastering his technique. I just thought he was visiting the babies while I was recovering!! Both of our children see his hands coming and know they will be soothed in seconds by his newly acquired skills, mom, well, I'll just pick them up and delay their sleep, but I'm working my arm muscle's so I see some benefit in both of our needs.
We videotaped our first segment for the kids Saturday, it was of their dad playing guitar w/his old band "Johnny Sportcoat and the Casuals". The all day festival was in promotion of a movie "Live From The Hook" that Dennis is in dating the 70's and 80's local music scene in Cville. In the pix above, he was up for 3d and had baby duty at night, no guitar practice, and was able to play; it does come from the heart but sleep is key, bless him for playing for me. Dennis is so enormously talented but very modest, hope our kids will be the same, can't wait to see what instrument they choose to play when they get older ;p))) or what horse/pony they will be riding ;p)))

Pangea is here!




Finally I went out to see Breeze's new baby; She was born 6/22/08 at 10:40PM, bay w/a blaze. A little bold filly who leads in front of mom, LOL! She's very light on her feet, looked like a ballerina dancing across the field! The other 2 kids are great, eating and sleeping and have been to Dr. twice in 2 weeks.
