A Part of History...

Wisdom and Truth got to witness history as we elected our 1st African-American President...Barack Obama!!!

Wisdom and Truth have had an exciting 11 days since the last posting. They are both doing well, but have been battling their first bouts of constipation. We have been feeding them breast milk and supplementing it with formula. Now we have added some water and that seems to help get things flowing....literally :-)

We have had some great visits with friends and family in the last couple weeks. Wisdom and Truth also had their first photo shoot with their amateur father photographer. We all went a post partem class. It was good to know that we are not the only ones wondering why our baby is crying.

Now that Bryan and Weezie (Louise, Shannon's mom) are back at work, the rest of the family has really stepped in. Grand Pa Hopkins comes over everyday to sit with the kids for a few hours, Sharon C. is on the job as nanny, and Sabrina allowed us to get our first date...just to mention a few. We love and appreciate ALL of you!!!

Yes We Can!!! (Thank you Sharon L., our favorite onesies!!!)

Today is your chance to be a part of history....get out and VOTE!!!
Sorry it has taken so long to update the blog, but Truth and Wisdom have a tendancy to keep our hands full. A lot of good things have happened in the last week or so.

Bryan and Louise have both gone back to work. Even though Louise only went back to work for one day. She just couldn't stay away from her grand babies. I am not sure what we would have done without her and Willie.

Truth and Wisdom had their 3-week follow up appointment. Truth is now 6 lb - 9 0z, and Wisdom is 7 lb - 3oz. So in the last two weeks, they have both gained a pound. Additionally, Truth had to have an ultrasound on his hips. This is a standard procedure for babies born breech. Thankfully, there were no dislocations and they both have rec'd a clean bill of health.

October 31st was their first Halloween. Shannon put her creativitity and 20 years experience as a wardrobe stylist to work and converted Truth and Wisdom into carrots (for all our healthy eaters, don't worry, they were organic :-)
Not only is today election day, it is also Mikayla 10th birthday, Happy Birthday Mikayla!!!
