We're Surviving!

For those who have not heard from us lately, Yes - we are surviving! It has been crazy, to say the least. The days fly by and I am constantly surprised that another 3 hours has passed and it is time to feed the babies again. There are times of total chaos when all 3 kids are crying and need my attention and I feel overwhelmed and exhausted. There are also times when I feel like I have things under control,and I truly think that having twins is so much fun! I am amazed at how well Dresden has adjusted to it all. He is so sweet with the twins and has found ways to entertain himself and help out when I need him. I would not be surviving without my amazing husband! We make a good team, even with no sleep! He is up with the twins just as much as I am and with as little as 3 to 4 hours of sleep still goes to work for 15 hours!

I can't say "thank you" enough to neighbors, family, and friends who have helped out and offered their support, it's made all the difference in getting through these first few months!

First Mall Trip in the double stroller (a.k.a. -- the bus)

Coen (a.k.a -- Cocos or Coco Puff)

Ciena (a.k.a -- Ena)

Dresden has come up with his own names for the babies -- Cocos and Ena. They are so sweet!

Just in the neighborhood...

Imagine my surprise when my best friend, who lives in New York, calls one night and says she will be stopping by in a few hours! I didn't really believe it, but sure enough Kamilah and her sis Kijuana who were on a "road trip" to Arizona went out of their way to stop by and hang out in Dallas for a while!

Family to the Rescue!

Seriously, what would I do without my family! Having them here to help has been the only way Chad and I have managed! My mom was here for a month and my sister and niece were here for a week helping out! I don't know if they know how much it meant to us having them here! I am excited to have more visitors in the next few weeks -- the invitation is definitely open to anyone else wanting to come stay with the Whitney clan! Although please be advised it is no vacation (I gave up trying to convince my mom she was on vacation after the first couple of days). Once here there will be NO sleep and you will definitely be put to work!
