life lately

Here are a few pictures of life lately at the Hawkins house.  Although life with two newborns COULD be a bit monotonous {3 hour cycles of changing diapers and feeding two babies around the clock}, when you add in a feisty and hilarious 2 year old, it's certainly always interesting!  

Will holding Emily for the first time

{he was very skeptical, but this was the first time he didn't immediately yell NO when asked if he wanted to hold a baby, so we took advantage and let him try}

Mimi working on the double baby hold

Bedtime fun 

{well, bedtime for the only one of us who still gets to have a real "bedtime," anyway}

One of these things is not like the others...

 cutie patooties

{and they're growing!  both weighed in at 6 lbs, 5 oz last night!}

sweet big brother!

 smiley girl {Caroline}

so peaceful... {Caroline}

Aaaaand, 2 seconds later when unwrapped....less peaceful!  

{but we LOVE the stretching that they do when they get unwrapped from the swaddle!}

 we've had some mommy time...

And some daddy time!

{multitasking at its finest....double rocking babies while watching the Rangers!}

We got our double stroller and took the whole family on a walk!

{we seem to attract a lot of attention when we are all out together...}

And we've had a few naps here and there too.  All these babies can make one pretty sleepy!!
