The twins are 7 weeks old!

Things continue to go well. The babies are sleeping about 6 hours between feedings at night now. We switched their eating schedule to 6am/10am/2pm/6pm/10pm/? to hopefully sleep through the night one of these weeks. It really depends on how much they're eating, and that is increasing almost every day. Kamryn and Kason both are taking 5 to 6-1/2 oz. every time, so once they get up to 8 oz or so they might consider sleeping from 10pm to 6am (at least that's what Kaelen did, so that might happen). But even at 6 hours sleep at night makes a huge difference compared to a few weeks ago when 3 hours at once was the norm. I'm still getting periods of exhaustion from the pace of a 2 year old and two 7 week old babies, but Kandice seems immune to it (for example, she got up at 4:00AM Sunday morning to run 10 miles).

The weekend was good. Friday night we went to Halloween at the Y. Kaelen had a good time getting the loot, and the babies rode around in the bus (our word for the double stroller). Lots of people came over to take a look at them.

Saturday afternoon we went to the Happy Home Day Care halloween party. They had a good turn-out and we had a good time. Kaelen won cup-cakes (one of her favorites) doing the cake walk. They also had a hay rack ride through Weed Park that Kaelen enjoyed.

On Sunday we carved pumpkins and got our very first family photo of the 5 of us.



Definitely cute wearing two pair of sunglasses.... inside.
