Gabriel and Zeke — who are happily watching Daddy jam out on Rock Band right now — will be going to church for the first time this Sunday. Everyone there has been giving me massive amounts of grief for the last few weeks about not meeting them yet. The twins still have 2 more RSV shots to go, but I figure the weather has been so incredibly nice lately that it wouldn’t hurt take them them out for a whirl — especially if I make everyone slather their hands with anti-bacterial juice before they handle the boys.
Just in case.
We hope to get Houston to the circus this weekend, too. Granny and Grumps are coming to visit, so we also have a lot of household stuff that we want to tend to while we have help with the kids. If Mommy and Daddy can’t take Houston to see the lions and the bears, perhaps the grand folk can do it.
We also plan on introducing Houston to NASCAR with this Sunday’s Daytona 500. Considering how much he loves anything motorized — like Daddy’s “vroom vroom” (a.k.a. motorcycle) — we’re pretty sure he’ll have a blast watching the brightly colored race cars go ’round in a circle.
One day Houston will be mowing the grass, too.
Gabriel and Zeke are changing exponentially by the day. It’s funny that we used to consider Zeke the laid-back baby and Gabe the dramatic one ’cause they have totally swapped dispositions. Gabriel is so chill and easy-going, whereas it seems as if Zeke has the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Case in point: the top photo … Gabriel just sat there quietly posing for these photos, staring at Mommy snapping away with her camera, while Zeke started out crying and never quite seemed to relax. We have our theories about how TTTS played into these developing personality traits, but who really knows. Whatever the case, Gabriel and Zeke are the coolest twins around and it’s amazing to see them grow from babies into little dudes!
“We don’t want another crib, Mama,” say Gabriel & Zeke.
