Much Ado about life with Jack & Abby.

June 11th, 2008

Too much going on…

Started back to work…which means the new office has come in very handy. I’m loathe to add Abby into the nanny share with Jack and Max. Let’s just say that they are “acting their age” and requiring a lot of attention. This leaves me with a bit of a juggling act, but I think it is going ok. If we can get through to August, Jack will start preschool (can you believe it?!?!?) and we’ll be looking for a new family to share care with Abby.

It does mean I work in bits and spurts, taking computer time when I can get it. It also leaves me little time for updates on the blog. And then today, what did I decide to do for the last half hour? A disastrous attempt at html coding. I’ve been trying to figure out how to create a header of my own, but I’m just ill equipped in my knowledge. So after screwing up the coding on the last theme, I had to go back to the same old options they’ve had on Wordpress for over a year now and I’m not pleased.

Such forms of procrastination are not worth it, but it’s hot and I have a headache and I’m really tired so I let myself get sucked into the vortex.

We’ve been struggling with teething and tantrums on Jack’s part. More on that later. Abby is still sleeping like a champ, but is also much more alert when she is awake. All in all Jack continues to be very good with Abby. All signs of envy are taken out directly on us (as it should be; we did, after all, so this to him!). And really, can you blame us when you look at this:

The twins have arrived!

I haven’t seen them in person yet, but the “babes” are most officially in Oakland as of early in the morning June 1. A big welcome to Sean and Darcy and congrats to Sara and Neil. It’s been a journey thus far. Now the real fun begins! Photos and updates on their blog.
