First Blog Entry

Welcome! This is our new blog. It is primarily devoted to providing updates on Hank and Clara, our two baby twins. They were born on December 7, 2007. Each day brings a few more trials and tribulations. Hopefully, this blog will let us share information about their lives and help us remember the events that the lack of sleep often time erase from our memories. From time to time, I also suspect I'll provide information about things that are on my mind beyond the babies (are there such things?), including updates on my wonderful husband, Mark, things that are on my mind, and just general commentary.

For now, this is still a work in progress, so thanks for being patient while I figure my way through this whole blog thing. Also, baby update information is not for everyone. I apologize in advance for any content that is really just dull.

Presently, the big thing with the babies is that they have started solids. So far, they have had rice cereal and sweet potatoes. I am learning that sweet potatoes are ridiculously messy. The kids are doing pretty well with it all. I haven't noticed any difference in their appetite, and they are still nursing a ton. I figure that is all good.
Here are some photos of their first eating experience

This week, we are going on first trip-- an adventure out to Montreal. I am excited though have some trepidation about what it will be like with the babies. Like I do with every trip, I have started a good ol' long packing list. Hope it will help the process out a bit.
