Dear Grandma
we miss you already!! your smile, your prayers, your words of encouragement, your example, I know there were days when you were in pain, or when you lost most of your eye sight, but I NEVER once heard you complain.. you worked hard, lived with very little,
seems liked just yest. I would watch for you to come walking up the trail, you would come and help with the loads of work, you would not make much fuss just dig in and start washing dishes, mend the socks and fold them.. play a game of uno and then be on your way only to come back in a few days and do it again..all the days of canning.. peeling the bushels of peaches and apples..you were so fast!! I loved to hear you talk about the by gone days..
I loved to sit and watch you quilt..we would talk..I would play with the marble roller and one day me and another cousin decieded to roll all the marbles down the steps, what a racket but still you did not get upset, you assured us that its not a good idea and then you helped us pick them up...
I remember the words you said to me on our wedding day..''you look so beautiful''
You said it more then once ''I'm ready to go'' so we let go, we move on, you will be missed but will always remain in our hearts!!
I love you Grandma ....I wanna be just like you when I grow up
The Boys are healthy and growing.. had their 6 week checkup this week and they both look great.. joseph weighs 10lbs 3oz.. Joshua 9lbs 14 oz...
They are still on a 3 to 4 hr. schedule.. still breastfeeding but did have to add a bottle of formula in our evening schedule..,I was determined to stick with just breastfeeding but after a couple of evenings of bouncing, patting, walking the boys we started giving a bottle in there 5 o clock schedule and we have much happier content babies!!!! now we give at least one bottle at every feeding.. which also helps when I have two hungry boys, I can feed one and give the other one a bottle.. I did not like when I was feeding one and the other one was screaming because he was hungry...
now that I am by myself more during the day reality is hitting me.. I have two babies and it is busy!!! sure figuring out a whole new level of multi tasking ...I figured out I can hold two babies and get a bottle ready at the same time!! hold a baby, be on the phone and pour your son a bowl of cereal...
I also depend on my children which they do a super good job! the other morning at 6:00 I was feeding one and the other one woke up and started to cry, Brianna came out of her bedroom and with out a word picked up the crying baby and half asleep sat on the couch and held him till I was ready..
went to a outgrown sale in downingtown this morning so that meant we had to all be ready to leave the house at 7:00 ..I was laying in bed thinking how is this going to work... it worked, we made it :):)
our evening schedule is getting better and better we hit a record and were back in bed in 30 min....
hubby gets up now at every feeding I will feed the first one that wakes up then I hand him over to hubby and he changes burps and gives him the rest with the bottle..then I feed the second one..
this is where hubby and I hang out 2 am in the morning!!!like I said before I could not do it without him...
just some more pictures of the boys.. he loves his brothers!!
how again did these two little people fit in there??
