Spring Time for Ethanol

A cute picture of the boys before a walk last Friday:

All has been good lately with the Brudam Brigade.  We're hitting a great stride in terms of sleep and we set new records for both of the boys this past weekend.  Ethan slept for 10 hours and Noel slept for 7 hours.  That's SO much better than where we were a few weeks ago.  We truly understand how valuable a schedule is for both the babies and for us.  A month ago, we used to hold the babies from 7.00p until 10.00p and THEN start the bedtime ritual.  NOW, we are on a pretty tight schedule and the boys know when it's time for bed and are exponentially less fussy when we put them down.

Avo (Rita) is headed up tomorrow for a visit.   Hopefully, the recent snow is the last for the season as we've got some Spring planting to do.   And we're excited to get the boys out in the sun, relaxing by the pool with a frosty bottle of milk and working on their tans.  It's about time we pass along the age-old family tradition of Baby Oil and Iodine, right?

Crazy Cute!

We have to admit we are enamored with the boys more and more each day.  And despite being in a bit of a tough phase right now (reference a nameless father almost in tears after the boys had a particularly fussy morning), it's moments like these that melt our hearts.  


Bruce is telling the boys about his favorite tennis match - the 1984 French Open nail biter between Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova.  "It was the finals of the 1984 French Open and Chris Evert (formerly Lloyd) was trying to come back from a 16-0 match loss record....."


You can just see the anticipation on Noel's face on how it ends (Chris defeats Martina, but don't tell Noel...that's tomorrow night's story).

Ethan Months 1 and 2

The boys are growing so quickly we can hardly believe it!  We were just looking at pictures of when they were born and they are SO tiny compared to where they are now.  We decided to take a picture of them every month to track their growth, their improved strength and just overall development.  Here are Ethan's first two pics:
