Last weekend Grandma (Kole's mom) and Aunt Lana came to town for a quick weekend trip. We had a wonderful visit, except for Kole coming down with the flu and being out of commission Saturday and Sunday! Despite the sicky, I think Janaan got it in some good, much needed Grandma time. I realized we never take any pictures of Payton with Grandma and Grandpa when we are with them. The camera is always flashing, but it seems Grandma is always behind it and then the pictures go back to IL with her. I will have to make a point when we are back for Christmas to take pictures of Grandma and Grandpa with Payton, so she has proof when she is older that they visited, lots!! Anyway, Friday night we kept the Eruchalu twins, Tristan and Dixon, so mam and dad could get some much needed rest, as much as one can get when 15 month Obi is still in tow, I guess. The boys did great and I was so thankful to have Janaan and Lana here to help. They are very sweet and easy to soothe, it just needs to be done hourly during the night! I don't know how Amber and Williams are functioning, they are amazing parents! We were all pretty wiped on Saturday and Kole didn't move except from bed to couch, but I loved every minute of the lack of sleep and I think Janaan and Lana did too.
***You're probably thinking what kind of friend offers to keep premie twins only to risk their fragile health and expose them to her flu ridden husband?!?! The boys went home around 10:30 Saturday morning and Kole came down with the flu around 11am, awesome. I swear we had no idea he was sick! We dodged a bullet though, both boys are still flu-free, thank God!!
Dixon on the left, Tristan on the right. Payton was very curious and did pretty well being gentle. She did however, cry in her true dramatic fashion when I would hold one of them. Seriously!?
The boys were born at 35 weeks and weighed 3.3 and 4.3, they are now around 6 and around 7, can you see the difference!? They are finally the size of newborns and they are almost 2 months old, pretty crazy!
