Banana Bread, Lasagna and Brownies

It was Monday or Tuesday, I really don't know as the days have all melded together lately but I was taking the trash out and I almost stepped on the loaf of Banana Bread on our doormat. Whomever it was, thank you for your timely gift. Joe was a bit cranky that morning and nobody was able to make breakfast so it was perfect to snack on all morning. Those brownies from Jeanine from SF POM club were incredible! Rebecca makes really awesome brownies and her response was, "these are better than my own." Last night we had some Lasagna that beat out my own. Lisa, where did you get that sausage? Thanks also to everyone stopping by to help. This has not been easy but it has been fun. It would not be fun without all the help.

Another note, Sunday September 21, 2008 was the kids actual due date. The docs now count them as about a week old corrected. Rebecca and I were on a walk on Tuesday and it occured to us just how normal our kids are. They are even a little unnormal in that they have had few freak out moments and seem to self soothe well. What a gracious gift!

This week was Grandma week. My mom was in town for the entire week helping us 24/7. She got up at almost all the 1am feedings. While she will tell you that she loved every minute of spending time with the babies, she will definitely sleep well tonight once she lands back in Vegas. She has a special way of getting Joe to relax gently rocking him to sleep. This is much better than my method of putting him in the swing at the highest speed and hoping for the best.

Finally, I wanted to note how proud of Lexi we are! She pooped two times in two days and is very happy for it. She has been all smiles since and we can understand why!
