Learning how to sit

Look Ma, now hands!

Babies in baskets.

And to finish off -- cute tiny tiny little feet!! Lots of them!

A typical day at our summer cottage.

A chilly morning.

The days quickly warm up so it's quickly fun in the sun. Boys tire quickly, girls love it!

Play time before bed time!

We were all cheering the American and the Polish teams during The Olympic games. Yeah - I know kids aren't supposed to watch TV until they are at least 2 years old, but it's THE OLYMPICS! For those of you who don't know, Poland got 10 medals this year - maybe not so great compared to the States, but not so bad either.

Daddy's girl.

Father and son.

Kids finally got the TV to themselves.

There's some serious stuff going on in those little brains.. they are going to be geniouses, I just know it!!

These were supposed to uplode with the last picture of 'thinking Jr'. They are just cute pictures. We are back home from the summer cottage, so I hope to get lots more pics up today and tomorrow.

Junior thinking

Going for a walk with the dog in our new stroller with big tires. The area around our house is foresty with lots of sand, so we had to get another strolly for these tougher grounds!

how they looked

Now can you tell which one is which?

learnign to drive again

We spent last Sunday learning to drive again. Our bank gave us a present in the form of a two hour lesson with a race car driver using the guy's race car. We practiced on old airport landing strip. Very fun! And very fast! Dad also got to take part. We all got some helpful hints about driving safely on the streets in dangerous conditions with the help of some racing manuvers. It turns out we all have some very bad habits that could cause some trouble in a sticky situation. Jacek was the only person that didn't let the excitement get the best of him and so he took a couple of pics while Dad and I just drove! And of course Tula and Junior came along for the ride!

time at the dzialka

.. continued..

We spent a few days at the summer cottage with Dziadzius (Grandpa) and the in laws. Everyone had a good time and had plenty of yummy food (my mother in law is a great cook! and she takes care of the twins while she's at it!)

Here the twins new stroller for the dzialka - the roads are really sandy, so my father in law got this used stroller for a great bargain. Now Babcia (Grandma) has a much easier time showing of the babies to all the neighbors and everyone is happy.

A funny tomato from the local market:

new pics and videos

Hi all,

We're back in Warsaw for a couple of days to see Tata off. He's just left about an hour ago and we are all very sad :(

We had a great time and I think Dziadius had lots of fun with the twins as you will see in the pics (see flickr).

New things the kids are doing:

- they both found their hands and are chomping away

- Tula found her feet a couple of days ago and was mighty excited

- Tula has also started to giggle out laud just like Junior and she has started to roll over onto her back and back

- Junior is working on belly time and finally starting to enjoy it a bit - see picture

- both Junior and Tula started reaching for me when I go to pick them up -- joy!!!

- neither one has anymore tummy problems (not so in my case :)

- just like a typical guy, Junior won't let go of the booby - the nights are getting tougher as Junior wants the booby all to himself

More to come in a moment if the kids stay asleep :)

My Dad is here!! A fun lunch on our patio with the twins.

our new dog

Did I tell you we got a new dog? I think I did. He came with the house. He's wonderful, very well behabed, gentle, but will 'get em' when they come to get us!

Of course he's not allowed in the house...

fun

I didn't know they'd be sooo much fun!!!

Tula!

Tula has found her voice! She's gibbering away and having loads of fun!

Both twins have also seen each other, but no real interaction has happened yet.

Both kids are practicing daily with belly time and arm lifts. Today Tula even looked like she was trying to sit up! Lots of giggles going on in the meanwhile. Both are also playing with their toys for 15-20 minutes at a time. And they are having a great time with their Dziadzio (Grandad)!

Check out Flickr for new photos!

Junior trying to sleep

i know, finally something new...

Well, we're all moved in. Actually we've still got half of our stuff in boxes, but the most important - the baby's room is all finished. And we're still waiting on some furniture. I know this is late coming, but I was by myself all week, so the twins had all attention. They would hear nothing on synchronization, so as you can imagine, there just was no time. I got up at 7 or 8 am, then all of the sudden.... it was 7 pm! So this is my first time at the computer and I'm so tired I don't even know what to write to you. I'll just blog some pics and videos and call it quits for the night. I though it was 7pm now (that's when I put the kids down), but it's already 9:15 pm (that's when they fall asleep).
:)

Our babies

Aren't they cute!!!!

Junior sees Tula

Junior sees Tula for the first time

Forgot to tell you all that we're moving this weekend. Very exciting. The next blog will be from our new home - if we can get internet hooked up :)
And here's Junior seeing his bouncy seat toys for the first time - I think he likes them. Tula sees them too but bateries ran out.... :(

So.. babies and I are at the dzialka (lake house) and we have no Internet access - ergo the delay in blogs. But a few more pictures via Flickr - take a look-see, and a couple of movies for your sheer enjoyment.

New things:

- both babies are starting to get a little bit of control over their appendages

- Junior saw Tula for the first time, he was a bit surprised

- major out loud giggles all day long

- I've started to sing songs for my babies (who would have though) but have run into a minor problem - the only songs I remember the words to are Jingle Bells, You Are My Sunshine and 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall. Good thing they don't understand yet, but will have to remedy this sometime soon.
