The good and the bad... first the good. Jacob saw the Orthopedist today. They took another x-ray and the foot was indeed fractured and needed treatment. He was a real trooper this week but it has been tough on him (and me) staying home and being unable to walk. So... the doctor said he would be treating the fracture with a walking boot. The good news is that he can walk, eventually run and do almost everything with the boot on. The first two weeks he needs to lay low and rest more, but eventually he can do almost anything (except sports (like snowboarding and possibly spring soccer), trampolines, and monkey bars). The bad news... he came home and hobbled to the snow shovels so he could begin chipping ice etc... apparently he was waiting to get back to his job. Unfortunately the boot is not water proof, maybe I can rig it with a plastic bag? If the kids wants to work again, who am I to stop him?
Lastly these pictures are evidence of the twins in our house from today. I love these girls dearly and each and every act of trouble is proof to me that even though their pregnancy was very high risk, and their early birth left us with huge worries over their future growth and development, they are indeed healthy! We suffered with difficult questions like, Would they be born alive? Would they born extreemly premature? Would they be healthy? Would they be normal? Very horrible worries... Now, They are normal, even wildly advanced in the mischievous area, this may make me crazy but... my prayers have been answered a million times over. I will take this anyday, considering the alternatives I worried and cried over for those dark months!
We had only four rolls of toilet paper left, and here are where I found three of them!
Babies, Babies, Babies everywhere!
Sydney once again undressed after her nap! No clothes and freezing! See the duct tape did its job though. Hailey also was undressed but she was so sick she was being held while I photographed this. All of todays mischief is brought to us by Sydney, Hailey is on a cuddle only routine and was out sick!Next post... pictures of my precious Lindsey's artwork!

I love that you can see the duct tape on Sydney's diaper. She is just so cute.....and Jacob.......how did you get so lucky to have such a hard worker? And, the toilet picture.....LOVE it....glad I didn't have to fish the three rolls out though! :)
Laura, your house definitely sounds busy! I was looking back over your posts, I can remember one of my girls being a sleepy time stripper also! I read the post from Julie. I know one Julie who has twin girls that are two in February. She lives overseas. I will check into it. You can email me at setrn@insightbb.com directly if you want. I will look into seeing if that is the same Julie.

I am pretty certain that it is the Julie that I know that lives overseas. I went looking back for old emails and her daughters were two on Feb 1. If you email me (see the post below) I will email you her email addy.

Oh those days of waiting, wondering, hoping and praying. I know them well. I love reading about your miracles and hearing about what's in store for me with mine.
Oh Laura, where is that Calgon when you need it? How soon till they can start preschool? ;-)
I have got to try that duct tape thing! I find Isaiah stripped down to his birthday suit almost every morning (and yesterday morning he also had a nice round of poopy to go with it - all over the crib!)
I hope your other one is feeling better - it is never fun when they are sick.
