Sorry we haven't posted in a while. The days and nights seem to just go by and we are somewhat in a daze most of the time. Our days are spent feeding, changing, holding, and entertaining babies. On a good day we remember to feed the dogs breakfast before dinnertime and Jeff manages to get more than 2 hours of work done. So you can imagine my frustration when I had written a long post the other day and somehow it just *POOF* disappeared before I had a chance to save it............Cyberspace, can't live without it, but it can also make you crazy!
Anyways, I'll keep the text brief as I have Nico crying right next to me as I type. Blake seems to be stirring too. The boys are growing like weeds! At our Dr.'s appointment Monday Blake weighed 5 pounds 2 ounces and our future "Lights Out" (one of our favorite Chargers' football players), Nicolas, is tipping the scales at 7 pounds 2 ounces. Both boys gained 12 ounces in 7 days. Our Dr. was VERY happy about that!
The boys have now met all of their grandparents. A HUGE thank you to Nancy, Jim, my dad, and Cay for all of your help with cooking and cleaning while you were here. We are looking forward to your next visit. My mom, who lives in town, has also been a big help. She spends her days off helping us with housecleaning. In addition, in her oh so motherly way, she worries about my "weight loss" (I'm back to my prepregnancy weight- so really nothing to worry about) so she continues to cook for us when she is here. We'll post some family pics next time.
Here are some recent pics. We apologize if they are not in chronological order. Too tired to worry about that right now!
Nico with a very tired mom! (Where's the photoshop for mom?)
Poor Guapo resting after a long night with the babies. Even the dogs are tired!
Nicolas getting his first bath!
Mr. Blue Eyes. It has been confirmed that Nicolas has mommy's eye color!
Blake is constantly reminding Nicolas to respect his side of the bed! ( Blake on the left.)
My handsome little man Blake. Isn't he perfect?
Brotherly Love

Big yawn!
Blake sleeping peacefully.
"Happy St Patrick's Day" from Nicolas. We thought a little Guiness in his bottle might help him sleep better tonight. He! He!
Mommy and her boys. I didn't drink the beer, but I did enjoy a half of a draft cider. (after pumping of course!)
That's all for now. We have some family pics to post but we'll to get to those later......It's way past my bed time so I hope you enjoy these! Jeff and I are now doing everything in shifts- sleeping, eating, showering, etc and it's my shift to sleep!
Love, The Fassetts

They are so CUTE and BIG too. Thanks for the update. I was getting worried. I can't believe they are almost 6 weeks old. Don't worry about photo shopping your pictures. You look like the beautiful, proud mother of twin boys that you are.
Hugs & kisses to all,
Love Lynda
They grow up so fast! Especially when all your days and nights run together. Do you find yourself asking what day is it? about 20 times a day? Beautiful babies! Beautiful Mama! You're doing a stupendous job, the doctor said so!
