As of Saturday it is now just Keith and me here to take care of Carson and the twins. Our help (Keith's parents) had to leave back to NJ for a family emergency. Saturday morning Keith drove them down to the Denver airport (8 hours roundtrip) and I was home to take care of the twins by myself. The morning was rough (it always is) but somehow I made it through to 4:00 when he got home. Keith and I are ready for this twin adventure (we think)! It's been crazy and exhilarating at the same time, there's really nothing like it, we love those two little ones. Twins certainly keep our hands full, I vaguely remember what just having one baby was like, but they sure do make us so happy. We'll get it figured out, we'll get the hang of things, they'll start sleeping through the night eventually--oh hey, the other night Cole slept six hours in a row for me!
Today I didn't eat till 1:00 pm (most days it's 3:00 pm), drink any water till 4:00 pm, brush my teeth till 2:30 pm or get my cleaning done till 8:00 pm...I think that's what we call twin life.
Ayla has a feisty little personality and sure lets you know when she's hungry. Cole has the most chill personality and seems ok with his sister running the show, he's started to be the better sleeper of the two, Ayla sure keeps us on our toes at night.
Here are some pictures from our October....which was mostly full of sleepless nights, lots of cuddles, my birthday, pumpkin carving, caramel apples, lots and lots of homemade donuts and apple cider, Halloween movies, Halloween parties, trick or treating and eating way too much candy ;)

| Took this pic and sent it to Keith after he had left for the airport and it was my first day alone with the twins. I was feeding Cole and then Ayla started fussing. |

| My birthday ice cream cake. Last year in my 20s! Keith took me out to Eggington's for breakfast, shopping, then we took Carson out to the movies for my birthday celebrations on the 8th, on the 9th (sunday) we had a nice dinner with his parents, cake, baby snuggles and skyping family. |
