Week 6

Life has been exciting around the McClain House. Last Friday Katie's sister Suzi arrived from Jacksonville with the biggest bag of baby girl clothes I have ever seen (or carried for that matter) Suzi is the mother of 4 beautiful girls and offered to take leave in order to lend a hand. She walked in the door and picked up Aidan, she has not let go yet. Katie and Suzi have been busy buying every outfit and baby gadget that the various Target Stores have to offer. We may have to move to a bigger house to make room for everything.

Suzi with Ryan & Syd

On Saturday we went over to Grauntie Ginger's house for a pool party in honor of our Cousins visiting from Ireland. We had a fantastic time visiting, and learning the proper way to pour a Gunniess. We also toasted to our cousin's Mary and Galen for their 35th wedding anniversary.

The Irish Cousins

Aidan & Ryan were the life of the party

On Sunday, Katie Suzi and I took the kids to their first trip to the zoo. We saw the Pandas, Polar Bears, Gorillas, Monkeys (Aidan's Favorite) and a slew of other animals that the kids ignored. I lost 5lbs and Katie lost 10 years watching me push Ryan & Aidan up and down all those hills. I hear "Don't slip, don't trip, don't let go" in my sleep now.



Grandma Marty is scheduled to arrive next week. She is scheduled to stay for about 2 weeks so we continue to have plenty of help. Ryan & Aidan had a couple of follow up appointments this week. They had their eyes checked on Monday (all is well) and they saw the Cardiologist yesterday. They were very happy with the twins progress and said that they can come off the monitors while they are awake. Hopefully we can turn the monitors in for good in a month or so. Ryan weighed in at 7 pounds 1 ounce and Aidan was in at 6 pounds 8 ounces. More later.
