It's about time for a rambling...

Evidently, there are a few friends that read this blog. I guess I should update it a little more frequently but whew...time is money these days.
Lots of things have started to change around us here in preparation for these sweet babies. I recently (this week) accepted a job at PPD in RTP as a consultant nurse. I will be working Mon-Fri. NO WEEKENDS, NO HOLIDAYS! I just don't even know how it's possible to have a job like that. I really don't! I'm hoping that I will feel like I'm resting better and living a little bit more sane and normal life. I start at PPD on Monday the 21st of this month. I'll have my own cubicle --YES and have been doing quite a little bit of shopping for it already. I mean, if I'm going to be spending 40 hours a week there, it's gonna HAFTA be cute!
Another small benefit to this job is that it's ACC/NCAA basketball season and here in NC that's a HUGE deal. I don't think that I've been able to watch any of the playoffs for the last 4 years. I'm looking forward to making an educated bracket this season!
I'm sitting here sipping on some decaf out of my life is good mug and watching the heels play.
This is going to be just freelance, straight from my brain. Meaning, don't expect paragraphs and semicolons to be in their respective spots. I can't help it. I just do better if the words just flow.
Jay first felt one of the babies move last week. We're pretty sure it was Isaac that he felt first.  Isaac is on my right side and Katie is on the left. Well, that's where they were about 3 weeks ago anyways! Lastnight he felt Katie kicking pretty good a few times. It's precious. This afternoon we were able to get 2 bumbos off of craigslist at a steal. We got both of them for $20. I love some craigslist!
I'm planning on having our close family and friends over for breakfast quiche on Thanksgiving morning around 10am. I've never made a quiche so I'm probably going to have to make a practice one a few days before :) I mean, otherwise it could be catastrophic. Luckily, no one really expects or thinks that I'm a good cook anyways. It sure would be nice to surprise them and to have a new Thanksgiving Lewis tradition.
We're planning on putting the twins in the bedroom with us in the same crib for a few months. Then, I think we will put the boys in the same room (and pray they don't give each other black eyes) and  let the twins have Seth's room after they start rolling over and all. It'll be difficult for them to sleep in the same crib after they get to be a few months old. I can't lie. I'm looking forward to them sleeping through the night. I think that I'll feel like things are somewhat routine and normal then. Ha, what a joke. Normal with 4 kids, what am I thinking?
Is it me or are the trees extra beautiful this year? It just seems like they are at their peak right now. The rusty reds are my faves when they are beside a few yellows. Oh, I just love this time of the year!
Tonight we are watching the UNC Tarheels play the Michigan State Losers. I was inspired to write this a little earlier:
 

And Jay in his flannels and I in my corner of the couch had just settled down to watch the tarheels wear em out. The boys were nestled all snug in their beds while visions of Halloween candy danced in their heads. From the top of the roof to the top of the wall, the tarheels we love them more than all!


Happy Fall from our busy family to yours.  These days, these mornings and evenings with the extra crisp in the air...they make living in NC simply wonderful.

Love,
Kim
