Saturday Nov 3rd.

November already! Yikes.. We arrived here in August!. It was another uneventful day.. which was just fine thanks very much. We are starting to get more involved in the day to day care of the twins, now that we are all more comfortable with the medical aspects of their life. We bathe them, change their diapers, and can take them out of the their incubators and put them back by ourselves now. Dealing with the tangle of hoses, vents and wires has become second nature. It feels a lot more like being parents now that we can interact more. When they cry, we can solve the problem, be it a full diaper or needing a cuddle. We can even get them to go to sleep now. It's still a long way from having them home, but every day feels better.

Dillon is now 4lb 4oz and Madeleine is 3lb 2.4 oz. Here's a pic of Madeleine hanging out on her very proud mom..


Little Dillon trying out the low-flow oxygen. Check out those jowls!



Here we have the world's youngest grumpy old man.




Can't you just hear him yelling "Get off my lawn you little urchins!!!!" in 70 years?

You guys are so brave!!! I can't imagine taking them out and putting them back with all those wires to deal with, but that is so great that you have such hands on
contact with them now. Just a couple of old pros you are!! haha
And what a little porker Dillon is getting to be, albeit a very handsome one. Madeleine still looks pretty tiny but then she is a little girl!
I'm just so happy that everything seems to be working out so well...
whoda thunk???
And you're getting snow while we're getting RAIN? I think somebody up there likes you best!!!
haha
'Til next time, as always, love, hugs and kisses to you all.

Hey Guys
We loved the videos! It is amazing to see both Madeleine and Dillon together. You can sense that they feel each other & know what's going on. It's amazing. Must be so emotional and great to see such progress each day. Ab...as always, you look great. Keep us posted on your return to Vancouver as we still have fingers crossed that we will see you.
