Neil's mom and brother, Ward, came out when the boys were 5 weeks old. It was nice to have someone to pass the boys to and take a nap. By this time, we've established a routine. Since coming home from the hospital, they sleep for 4 hours at night. So it's not so bad. Eli is definitely my squeeky wheel. He gets mad quicker and Chase is more easy going. We still occassionally have a tough time telling them apart if they are apart. Chase has a small little 'mosquito bite' on his right ear. One late night when they were only a few weeks old, I walked into the room and asked Neil who he had, he replied "does it really matter?". The boys are now 10 weeks old and I cannot believe it, time has blazed by. Chase is 11lbs 14ozs and Eli is 10lbs 11ozs. They are huge. As Mya is only 28 lbs, they'll be passing her soon.
Mya is still in daycare until 1pm, when Neil get's off work, he picks her up and we have a very important family nap.
Everyone naps, including mom and dad. Neil starts work very early (5am) so he's ready for a nap by 2, 3pm. I've been able to get out and do errands to get some alone time. My family has been very helpful. Tosa is over almost
everyday, she's definitely here for baths. And my mom & dad take Mya to daycare Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

A few weeks ago, Neil and I took Mya to see Cirque du Soleil's Qudaam. My mom and sister, Cheryl took the boys for a few hours. It was nice to spend some alone time with Mya. She liked most of it but was ready to go by the end.
We've had a lot of visitors and welcome everyone to come meet the boys and to see Mya. Hopefully, you'll take us up on it. See you all soon.
congratulations BF!!!! I've been dying to know when the twins arrived, and whether they were two boys or two girls. WOW! You're all in my thoughts.
