An update just because

Our house is crazy right now.  I can't think of how much more crazy we could make it.  Interestingly enough, its working and to be honest, I think Wilma is the glue that keeps it all together.

Two weeks ago I started a new job.  Its full time and I'm back to commuting into the city.  Not unlike the days I spent driving to and from the NICU, only this time its not to see a beautiful little baby.

So far I love the work and the company I'm working for and I know because I love it, that it will be worth it (ie the time away from my babies).

Livy continues to grow like a weed and as of yesterday she's already added 1 cm to her height from November 7th.    She's been bad and touched Opie again and thus, Opie took a bit of a break.

Fortunately, on Sunday we saw Santa (from afar) and Livy asked if he would give Opie her Christmas magic back.  On Monday we recieved a letter in the mail from Santa (no joking):

Opie then returned the next day and Livy has been behaving ever since.

On Sunday Dwayne left town for a week to London.  So many years I've wanted to travel and he chooses the 2nd week I go back to work full time with two small kids at home.  Yup, chaos is our life.

Yesterday the girls, Wilma and I decorated the Christmas tree and Monday we did our lights outside.  We'll wait till Dwayne comes home before we add our special ornaments.  For now the standard bulbs will have to do.

As for Payton, she's continuing to grow well though on Saturday we hit the ER in Squamish when she puked up some blood.  It was old blood and moslty mucusy bile mixed with milk, but it was a forceful puke with a lot of heaving and chocking so certainly not normal. 

Saturday also saw Payton roll over for the 1st (and 2nd and 3rd) time from her front to her back. I'm not sure if she's been doing it more often but we're pretty pleased with her progress.

For now here are some cute pictures of the girls.  We hope to actually sit on Santa's lap this weekend so hopefully there will be more in the near future.
