As you can tell, our blog has a new theme. It has been my attempt to create a new Wordpress theme from the ground up. It has been fun and I have learned a lot about the power and structure of Wordress and how incredibly easy it is to tweak and control the templates. My hats are off the to the development team.

Enjoy!

Basement: The drywall is complete. Taylor has finished the shelving, casing, and baseboards, has primed and painted, and completed the slate tile and maple flooring. The carpet is being installed tomorrow! Yippee, we are getting closer! Then all we have left is touch up paint, cabinets, countertop, shower surround, toilet, finish electrical, and then we get to move the stuff downstairs.

Kids rooms: We started painting Coley’s room, but it’s still got a ways to go. We haven’t started on the twins room yet, as we need to get Coley moved out of that room before we can make progress in there.

Pregnancy/Twins: We’re 31 weeks now. I’m guessing the twins are almost 4 lbs each and almost 17 inches long. Hallie is head down and Brighton is head up. I’m pretty much just tired and my back hurts. My belly is now as big as it was when Coley was born (41.5 weeks). I don’t feel contractions, but at my last visit I was already thinned to 50%. We’re still hoping to keep them in there until 36 weeks… so 5 more weeks to go!

I love being home with Coley. He’s completely silly and full of energy, which most days just wears me out, but he’s cute nonetheless. Lately he is obsessed with swords and pretty much anything can be used as a sword – toy screwdrivers, plastic knives, spoons, drumsticks, spatulas, etc. He keeps getting into the kitchen drawers in search of different swords. Well after a million times of taking stuff away from him, Taylor finally put childproof latches on most of the drawers in the kitchen, but not all of them. Resourceful Coley came up with a new game with the stuff he can still get out. We’re not quite sure what the object of the game is or why it’s fun, but Coley got out 2 ziploc sandwich baggies. Putting his hand in one, he handed the other to his dad… who followed his lead and put his own hand in the baggie. Then Coley proceeded to give Taylor high-fives with his bagged hand and then laughed like he did the greatest thing. Taylor and I just giggled, again not understanding the purpose or rationale, but we enjoyed his laughter and creativity anyway.
