Boys & Girls

Today in Joy School we learned about seasons, specifically autumn, since (everywhere but Texas) summer is over.  The crafts in the Joy School lesson were lame so I searched for my own.  I decided to focus on the leaves changing on the trees.  So we looked at pictures & then made hand print fall trees.  Here is the inspiration I found on the internet:

Clearly we're working with me (a non-crafty mom) and 3-year-olds, its not going to turn out like this, but it was hilarious that most of the kids totally didn't "get it."  Especially the boys.  One boy said, "Wow, I'm making lots of polka dots on my picture." lol  But here are Nathan & Alexa's autumn trees to show you what I mean:



Oh well, they had fun finger painting!

Today we got together with another set of twins! Caden & Addison are just a month younger than Nathan & Alexa and were born at Texas Women's also!

Nathan McKay Oldroyd Born August 4th at 6:37 a.m., weighs 5 lbs. 8.5 oz, & is 20 in. long Alexa Dawn Oldroyd Born August 4th at 6:38 a.m., weighs 4 lbs. 5.5 oz, & is 1 6.75 in. long We are so excited that they are finally here! The C-Section went very well & Alisha is recovering well, with the help of pain meds! Nathan needs quite a bit of help with breathing but is improving. We’re told that he may get his ventilator tube out today & they would help him breathe using a C-pap. He breathes ok on his own so he mostly now just needs some pressure to remind him to breathe. He is still in the highest level of the NICU but is doing well. He’ll be in there for at least a few days after we get to go home. Alexa is tiny but doing extremely well. Alisha was able to hold her while still in the OR before she needed some oxygen help. She only had to stay on the oxygen until 11 a.m. and is still in the lower level NICU. She should get to move to the normal nursery tomorrow m...
