Company

The Dillner household has been bustling lately with company from the Midwest. Early in October my dad and grandma came out to meet Thomas and Michael for a long weekend. We enjoyed having them in town. It was so great to see family. It was tough having to see them go back to the Midwest. Grandpa Dale enjoyed meeting his grandsons. He also enjoyed holding them, talking to them and cuddling with the boys. I tried, but I was unable to get grandpa to change any diapers (surprise, surprise!) Thomas and Michael do enjoy the Husker stuffed toys that grandpa brought for them. Great Grandma Betty also enjoyed meeting Thomas and Michael.

Shortly after Grandpa Dale and Great Grandma Betty left, Aunt Danielle came for a long weekend. Aunt Danielle has held the boys constantly while she has been visiting. Hopefully the boys can handle not being held all the time, when she leaves. She has also been a great help with doing dishes after meals.

In other news. Thomas and Micheal are beginning to sleep for longer times at night. They typically sleep for a 5 to 5.5 hour stretch, then another 4 hour stretch after being fed. I am enjoying this greatly. They are no longer waking up just as I am ready to go to sleep. I love being able to hit the pillow with out having to feed them. I also enjoy only being woken up once during the night.

We have booked our flights to come home for Christmas. We will be in the Midwest from December 20-January 6. We have not yet determined when we will be in Beloit and when we will be in Omaha, but we will soon. Mark your calanders so you can meet Thomas and Michael. We are also planning on having the boys Baptised while we are at home. We are still nailing down the details for that. Even though I an nervous about the thought of flying with the twins, I can't wait to get back home so all of our friends and family can meet Thomas and Micheal. I know that David is excited as well.

As soon as David fixes the photo gallery, I will have more pictures to upload.
