I too can't believe I missed this thread.  They look adorable!  I'm assuming they're home now?
This is the way.


I have spoken.

Wow, hard to believe that it's been just over three months now... 





Older (but smaller) Brother Logan is in the gray, Younger (but bigger) Brother Liam in the navy/orange.   :)

I think it's safe to say that my life is completely different than it used to be.  These two buggers take up sooooo much of my time, it's not even funny - you'll see most of my posts come from work (before 5pm) or after bedtime (after 11pm).  But you know, I wouldn't have it any other way.  The past three months have been so demanding, but at the same time, probably the most meaningful three months of my life...

I feel exactly the same way.  Before I had my first son, work was getting to me and I was at a point where nothing mattered.  Ever since he was born, my life has been meaningful and I would not have it any other way.

They give me a reason to keep going.

I'm glad your family is doing well and everyone is healthy.

Edit:  Any idea on what they'll be for Halloween?   8)

Logan:


Liam:


Uploaded these for another post, but I thought I'd share with everyone here...


Man, these last few months have been crazy.  :D

The dudes are doing extremely well.  We've moved into the "eating baby foods" phase and have even dipped into "people food" a time or two (a french fry here, a spoon of ice cream there).  No crawling yet, but that's OK as I am not too anxious for both of them to be mobile just yet.  Hard enough taking care of them both at the same time without them moving around on their own...  :P

I still can't believe it's been 7.5 months.  Time has just whipped by - Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's.  Just crazy how far they have come - looking at my two 20 lb boys, I have a hard time remembering that these are the same guys as the premie 6 lb babies I brought home from the Hospital all swaddled up in blankets.

Jeff, they are just adorable. :)  Isn't it amazing how far they come in just a few short months?  Time for some serious baby-proofing as they will soon be getting into everything.  The two of them working together will keep you and your wife on your toes. ;)

Pretty cute boys Jeff.  I'm not sure if it's just the angle of the pictures, but Logan actually looks older than Liam.  Or maybe it's just me.

Yes Jesse, I'm quite sure it's you who's older then Liam  ;)

It's the hair and the cheeks.  Logan has more (longer) hair and Liam has the chubbier cheeks.  A few others have said that same thing, that Logan looks older than Liam...

I guess they look the same age to me because I see them everyday.   ;)

Well, this past weekend was the Dudes' First Birthday Spectacular. 

On Saturday, we hosted the obligitory family birthday party for the extended family to celebrate.  Here are a few pics...
