New Laptop for Amy

Tina brought a broken laptop from the US as I and a certified tinkerer she offered to let me fix it for Amy. 

After some analysis and a couple hours of research and a few YouTube videos  ripped it apart got numbers off the back of the LCD put it back together ordered new screen waited a few days and bada bing bada boom put it all back together and it is working great. 

Was super nice of Tina to give Amy this she is super excited as she has never really had a computer that was hers and it is always nice to have something that is truly her own. 

She has also like a nerd been laying around in bed Googling her ass off on all kinds of baby shit.and playing some of her words with friends or friends with words something like that on Facebook…

Someday maybe I will get my wife back.

Chloe and Claire’s Checking in with reality

 

I must say for a guy that doesn’t know diddly squat about kids(includes me) the Internet age has really changed the way for analyzing and developing your children.  Just by simple searches in for example you tube I was watching some of the videos just to ensure all is good at least in this department and I love it the girls are ahead for there age speaking wise even though they were born premature!  Even there doctor is proud of there development yeah I have smart kids    I guess that is a dream for all parents.

I know this is because of Amy’s hard work with them each and every day I am so proud of her she is always up on this stuff always in forums always studying new tactics and has managed to really keep these girls ahead of the game so for this I want to thank mainly my wife you rock!

Tina has confirmed there great depth of knowledge and I begged and pleaded her to be honest as we do not have all the family and friends most people have and she was talked for awhile and while they are bullheaded like there mother they are also really smart.

On top of this they have been so cute and while there words are so limited Amy’s hard work with Baby Signing Time has paid off because I can communicate with them well beyond there English level and know what they think and like.  Tonight for example while watching Peppa the Pig the girls would throw there hands in the air and sign Stars everytime it was nighttime so I got to see that they just love stars. 

On top of the on top of they are really communicating with each other in some strange language of there own already and what is funny is hearing “ZA ZA BAAAAH BAAHA SKDFJIEOJSLKDFJ …. GO GO GO (pointing fingers) and the other one runs off to grab something.  Very strange they really carry conversations.  Can’t wait to see this develop more.

Parenting is both fun and scary at the same time

First page of forums with 1000’s of comments confirm above everything above.

I will have to get a video up show off or get amy to update this blog with there words because it is so many and so many more coming each day.  My how they grow quickly it was like just a month ago my god I sound like a cliché but it is more then true that kids do grow up really quickly.

The good news is I do not look back at all rather enjoy just having them grow up as it gets better with time that is for damn sure.  Unfortunetly we are still in the troublesome years and are approaching the “terrible two’s” and hopefully this is a cliché I need to completely go through but they sure are bratty at times or maybe that’s because it is times two…

 

The girls new Crazy cool bedroom

Such a nice touch of grandma and mommies feminine work they gave our babies a professional makeover room. 

 

 

And here are some random photos I got before closing up the camera for the upload girls are getting big.

Check out our new rug we got it from IKEA and I must say it changed our whole house.  I never thought a rug could do so much but the girls really love it as they spend a lot of time on it I am sure they enjoy the new comfort.

 

Some joyous laughter with there new haircut mommy.

Crazy coco and the S-S-S snake?!

For some reason Coco has found that she really loves a really long crazy big colorful snake to the point she wraps herself in it as she goes to bed.  It is really cute hearing her go SSSSSSS so we go get her snake.  She will now not sleep with it for at least a week now…?

I must say pretty weird but it does look cozy.  Sorry for not so many photos but she sleeps and we so not want to wake them up.  I did however sneak in and risk a couple of photos in the dark.

Amy’s New haircut and most funny the style they gave her

Where is Amy???

To the Zoo

Tina and Amy took the babies to the Prague Zoo.  I must say it is a very nice zoo and unfortunately  not too many photos of the event but I was told that Claire really really loved the birds and was trying to chase them and Chloe was more into the elephants.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wish I coulda been there but I am sure they had so much fun!  Maybe we will venture there some weekend again before Tina leaves us!?  The girls only made it to the first part of the zoo so they got lots and lots more to see!

 

Tina tina tina

Well with the wonderful arrival of another hand life has been considerably easier with the twins.  Tina has been very helpful around the house and as usual great company.  Already she has fit in like she never left and while she is very rude about her sofa and doesn't like to share her visit so far has been worth it.

Little jokes already making us laugh include the loud random belt "FFREEF FRAID FONE" and "Amy has CLOTHES US in on the balcony" have been very amusing and in fact making me chuckle now.

The girls have taken a keen liking to her already enjoying the extra hand to spoil the crap out of them and she brought so many fun toys.  It is nice also to really get perspective from another soul as I have zero kid experience so as far as I know they could be 10 months behind and really slow and I wouldn't know the difference.  Getting input from her is invaluable and so far has been very positive and our girls are up to speed and beyond!  That is very relieving as with twins you really have to worry I would think of them being behind but as of now it seems only size and hair have left them in the dust.

We have also ordered an official Skype phone with a local Traverse City number so anyone who wishes to again call me let me know I can give you our number and it is free and easy now!  I can even sing on the phone in case you missed my voice

Tina Flyin In

Well in preparations for Tina’s arrival I was trying to get the house and everything in order and this included the girls.  Things were going very well but I pulled out some leg stretch thinga majigies while looking for something and they just had to have those.  In fact different colored ones and even in some cases 5-6 on at the same time doh

From the baby dressed up side of things they were definitely showing off there attire and proving that well Daddy dressed them…

Happy Easter

The girls got there first giant chocolate Kit Kat Easter bunny and I must say they liked it a lot.  I guess this goes without saying but it is still cute to see them not care about making a mess and experience there first chocolate explosion.
