Kyle and Emily have been doing great sleeping all week! We've finally got back on a pretty good schedule and they are eating, "playing", and then sleeping during the day, and sleeping lots at night. After they eat, they have been awake and playing for about an hour and a half or so and then they start to get whiny. When they are starting to get whiny, I swaddle them up and put them in their crib - most of the time they are asleep within five minutes! Then they sleep for an hour to and hour and a half. When they wake up, they are ready to eat again. At night, they have been eating between 8:00 and 9:00 and then going to bed. We wake them about between 11:00 and midnight to feed them, and then they sleep for another 7 or 8 hours, wake up to eat, and then go back to sleep for another two hours or so!
Today our schedule got a little thrown off and they seemed to do okay with it. Brent had a flat tire, so I went and switched cars with him for a bit and got his tire replaced for him; it couldn't be fixed:( He had a HUGE bolt on the edge of his tire... Emily's head would have fit through the hole once they got the bolt out!
We are getting excited to go to Michigan next week for Alyssa and Shane's wedding! We are excited to introduce Kyle and Emily to family, but at the same time know it's going to be a very busy and tiring trip! Pray for us to have all the energy we need and that the babies will stay sort of on schedule with eating and naps! (If we are hanging out with you, please don't be mad at me if I say it's nap time and put the babies down for a nap - we don't want to have crabby babies!)
We heard back from the church in Indiana yesterday. They are offering the job to someone else. We are very okay with this! We thought the church was great and that the ministry was an amazing ministry, but we didn't really feel like it was the right fit for us - and apparently they didn't either. We are continuing to pray that God will show us where He want us and are looking forward to seeing what ministry He is preparing for us (and hoping that it will be close to our families).

11 Weeks Old and Sleeping Through the Night!
Kyle and Emily are 11 weeks old today! I can't believe it.... it doesn't seem like it has been that long, but at the same time, it seems like it has been a lot longer :)
The biggest thing to update on is sleep! Both Kyle and Emily are sleeping through the night. We have been feeding them between 8:00 and 9:00 pm and then putting them to get shortly after. We wake them up between 11 and 12 to eat, then put them right back to bed. They then sleep until 6:30 - 7:00 am. Normally I am waking up because my boobs ready really full and when I wake up, they are starting to move around and wake them selves up. They eat, and then go back to sleep until 9:30 or so. It's been pretty much amazing to get more sleep :)
During the day, for naps I have been trying to put Kyle and Emily in their crib to sleep. They normally sleep better and longer in their crib during the day than they do in the bouncy seats or the pack'n'play. Last night we decided to let them sleep in their crib at night. They did amazing :) They kept the same sleep pattern and seemed to make less noise and fall back to sleep faster after eating!
I will post their 11 week pictures later today - after I take them.
