Not every day is easy with twins

The boys must be growing and it must hurt, because they are a real handful lately. Both are sleeping pretty well after 11 p.m. and staying down for 3 to 4 hours at a time. It is the time before 11 p.m. that is the real challenge. All day they seem to be only napping lightly and Sarah is unable to complete projects that she'd like to tackle. This is not to say that we aren't loving parenthood. It's just an adjustment to get used to. I had planned to take three weeks to one month off from work after Kai and Finn were born, but work is too demanding to do so. The university's graduation is Saturday, signaling an end to most of the chaos around my job. I should be able take off more time in the coming weeks. If not, I'll keep taking one boy to the gallery with me every other day.

Evenings have been extremely rough as of late. Dinners after 9 or 10 p.m. Car rides at 9:30 p.m. to calm unstoppable screams. I think we have had two bouts of colic in the last two weeks. Intestinal gas pain sucks!
