April is nearly over

We had the great pleasure of joining Linda, Clive, Robyn, Keith and (briefly) Adam in Pinetown for Easter. It was fantastic. To keep the boys in some sort of routine we traveled at night, which was difficult for the adults, but meant that the boys stayed in routine, and slept through the next night.

It was also the first chance the boys had had to see the sea. And they loved the beach. Literally. That beach sand was some of the nicest stuff they had tasted, James and Thomas were literally shoveling it in.

Also, after getting back, Great Aunty Kate came around to visit.

Anyway because of the huge amount of fun, activity and general growing up over Easter, we had to post some pics to keep you all in the loop.

April 2009

We're 8 months today

Things are really moving quickly now. Everyday, there are massive changes, and each day it gets better and better. Just as an example, Friday was a hellish day at work; and Claudia gave me a call. When I answered all I heard was the joyous chuckling of James in the background. There are few noises sweeter.

Plus, the twins are sort-of sleeping through. We generally have uninterrupted sleep from around 10.30 till 5.30; and it is truly wonderful.

I know everyone is very keen to see the boys and their growth; so without further ado:

Feb till 8 months old

And so 6 months later

Well well, we have finally made the half year. Things are getting much better. Solids are now part of our diet and we're thriving. Thomas in particular is loving it.

As for the parents, we're doing pretty well too. Admittedly, the song "Michael Finnigan" is now permanently stuck in our heads. But that's a minor price to pay. Claudia mentioned earlier that being parent does strange things. A young man who used to have Metallica in his head now sings nursery rhymes. That's a little sad ...

Just to let people catch up - here are a few pics. Cheers ...
