Elizabeth! Come back! We really miss you and Soren and Anders. Ari runs around looking for his cousins, and he cries at night when he has to go to bed alone. (Elizabeth was brave enough to have all three boys in her guest room, they babbled to each other until they fell asleep each night.) He will really love having Jude to play with. Such a social boy. Jude is turning out the same, I think. He doesn't ever want to be left alone either. Whew. I am going to be tired raising these two. And holy cow, I have NO IDEA how women raise children without their husband at home! Ari is currently getting his 2 year molars in- 6 months early, lucky us. Jarem has been taking care of him now that Elizabeth is gone, and he has to deal with the whining, the constant poopy diapers, the 103 fever, the waking up at night, and the horrible rashes. Poor Daniel got to see that too. I wish I could take the hurt away, I cry when I see my Ari in pain. He is such a sweetheart, and he doesn't deserve to be hurting. Hopefully it will be over soon- the fever is already gone, and now we just have to wait for the teeth. Everyone says this takes weeks though.

Real Life Begins
Jude is happy, thankfully. He sleeps and eats, and smiles at me every now and then. He also holds his head up more and more! He is adorable, or at least to his mommy. I know parents are prejudiced. He actually doesn't mind being on his stomach either. Ari hated tummy time. I look at these two boys, and I can't even remember my life before children. Must have been so boring! What a blessing it is to have kids.
Louise is coming up next week! Can't wait. You'll love your new grandchild, but then you'll want us to move back to Utah so you can see him more. :)
Mom, stay on top of those construction guys! Don't come up to visit until you've got the house finished. Daniel, Joseph, and Dad need a construction-free zone to live in, and you need the stress gone. I'll pray for you.
Amber! So good to read your post! Sorry I'm such a slacker and I haven't written. I love your updates and beautiful pictures of your twins.
Stephanie- I'm glad you found this blog! I will try to post more, and pester Jarem for more pictures and video. How are Brenda and Tiffanie? Do you have a blog too? I love staying in touch.
Meg, you are so right. Two kids is a big enough family! Thanks for being a great example to me, you are a true Mormon.

Awww...we miss you guys, too! I've come back and settled right back in to my old habits of neglecting my house cleaning and spending too much time on the computer! :) Actually, I'm trying to really get this photography workflow down so that I'm not spending hours and hours on the computer every time I take pictures. Of course, it takes hours and hours just to set everything up in the first place. Ahhhh. I'm tired. Anyway, I miss Jude. My arms itch to hold and burp him. :) And Ari, my little buddy, is sooooo missed! I'm glad he's doing better, but I don't envy you the teething thing. I'm not sure if Anders has his two-year molars yet or not since he'll never let me look in his mouth. :) I guess we'll find out somehow or other. Love you tons! I'm working on all the Oregon pictures. Hopefully I'll be posting some of the Jude pictures soon.
I can't wait to see all of you and meet Jude!
I've watched the video of him over and over and can't wait for some more pictures. You have a beautiful little family and yes, I would love having you back in Utah!!! Give Ari a hug for me and we'll see you next week.
I won't leave until the remodel is finished. Right now my once lovely larger bathroom is again too small with a too large tub and too many cabinets. What to do.
Thanks for the great pictures and video clip. Jude is amazing. I'll be there as soon as I can.
Hey Sara. We are all doing great. Tiff is extremely busy trying to finish her BA with school and working and her wonderful BF. I am working tons and tons and tone, living next door to mom.
