FOUR Weeks Today ! ! !




Can you believe it?!?  The babies are 28 days old and growing by the minute.  We cannot believe it until we look at the photos from the hospital.  It seems like forever ago.  We have enjoyed some very distinguished visitors the past two weekends.  First we welcomed Aunt Elyse and Uncle Trey from Hollywood (Florida).  Then we had Great Grandpa, from Arizona; Grandad and Grammie, from Northern California; Aunt Abbie and Uncle Mike, from New York in town this weekend and it was great.  New photos are uploaded to the Picasa site and you can view them by clicking on the photo to the left.
Both babies are over 9lbs as of last week and eating non-stop.  Sleep is getting a bit better at night with a solid 5 hour stretch last evening.
 * Things to know about Luke and Lane *

Luke (aka Lukey, Deucie, Little Man, Heir to the Throne, Yoda): Wound a little bit tight, very alert and observant, loud eater, has three levels of crying, sometimes looks worried or forlorn, not afraid to destroy three diapers in less than 10 minutes.  Light hair, dark navy eyes, with fair skin.  
Lane (aka Laney T, Miss T, Laney Lou, Munch and Crunch): Chill - which makes mom and dad wonder if she has a pulse sometimes..., sleeps unless being changed or eating.  She has a very adorable cough / cry, birthmark on the inside of her left elbow.  Dark hair, lighter blue eyes than her brother, with olive skin.

  1. I am amazed at their size! My sister's twins were 4.5# and 5.4# and she was HUGE. You were a trooper to carry to large babies to term. Beyond trooper - you are enviable among those with uterus'!

    They are beautiful and it is awesome that you are writing down what their temperaments are like now, because in 20 years, you will look back and see how they are very much the same.

  3. Leanna, your babies are so precious! I was directed to your site by my mom who learned about it from Vonnie Fox. It is fun to look at your beautiful family and read your creative blog!
