Weekly Update

Well, once again, time has flown since my last entry.  It's been almost two weeks, so this is long overdue!

The boys finally got to do some traveling for Easter.  We visited Grandma & Grandpa Tolan in Rochelle on Palm Sunday, and saw Grandma & Grandpa Harris in Arlington Heights for Easter.  Andrew & John met several of our aunts & uncles, and finally got to meet their cousins, Kassidy and Alexandria.  The boys do extremely well in the car and slept as they were passed from person to person at all of the festivities.  Every time we leave the house, it feels like we're packing for a week-long vacation, but I guess it's better to be over-prepared...at least until we figure out exactly what we need to take with us.

In other news, John seems to be doing really well on the Enfamil A.R. formula.  He still spits up on occasion, but it doesn't seem to be nearly as painful or as frequent.  His cheeks are getting rounder by the day!  We also switched Andrew from the preemie formula to regular Similac and he seems to be doing well.  Neither one are picky about the taste - they gobble up anything we give them! 


Dinner time on St. Patrick's Day


Andrew surprised us all by rolling over from his belly to his back on Saturday 4/7.  We missed it the first time and didn't believe it actually happened, so we flipped him over and watched as he immediately did it a second time.  I can't imagine how much life will change once they're mobile!

It's nice that for now we can buckle them in and walk away!

In the last two weeks, Ryan and I also had our first date night!  We had a chance to go out for dinner and a movie while the boys relaxed at home with their grandparents.  It was definitely a welcomed break, and one that we'll have to incorporate into our calendars.

Here are some other miscellaneous pictures from the last few weeks...

Andrew & John got to meet their neighbors Brooklynn, Brighton, and Brady.  It looks like we've got some future babysitters across the street!



Andrew and John got dressed up for the Cubs' home opener and lounged around watching baseball all day.  Maybe this will be the year...




And finally...these pictures I simply posted because I think they're cute!
