Status update

Been a while, but the boys have been growing up steadily. Primary activities haven’t changed much though: Sleeping, eating and the occasional tumbling around. By now we’ve grown accustomed to being used as heated mattresses during the night, as well as the fact that entering the kitchen will be greeted by a combined chorus of […]

Being scared is for pussies…

We stayed at home this new years’ eve, in case the fireworks would launch the boys up the wall, but we needn’t have worried. Ben stoically went on contemplating ways to eat our food, while Sam’s biggest problem was figuring out if the fireworks at the front of the house or those at the back […]
