As we enter our third week now, things are getting easier each day. That\u2019s not to say there are not challenges, it\u2019s just that we\u2019ve been able to handle things as they happen most of the time.<\/p>\n
The boys are well behaved (except for being peed on now and then) and it\u2019s a pleasure just holding them and having them look back at you. It\u2019s amazing how something so very simple can be so rewarding.<\/p>\n
Brenda has been doing better every day handling them both on her own. This week she will handle both of them by herself later in the week, and she feels confident that it will go well.<\/p>\n
This week I\u2019m back to full time which for me means 9am until about 9pm most days of the week. There are exceptions, but on average that\u2019s what it will be moving forward. My first task will be to line up a few solid editors that I can use as replacements for Brenda. She has left some huge shoes to fill!<\/p>\n
So otherwise, there\u2019s not much to report. Just taking it easy with the boys!<\/p>\n
New photos are also posted on Flickr. We took some new family photos today<\/a>, and there is a separate album of the photos Mike took<\/a> the day they were born.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As we enter our third week now, things are getting easier each day.
