So not too much happened last week, but I'll give you a summary anyway. This past week was the first week where I worked 7:30-7:30 and Matt took care of the boys by himself during the "witching hours" from about 5:30 'till about 9 every night. I still have a job, Matt can still count to ten and the boys are still alive, so I count that as a victory. We must give credit to Grandma and Grandpap Bevevino for helping Matt out a couple of nights to get him started. What would we do without them!?! We found out that Bryan has yet another ear infection - thanks for the warning April! Because of this, Bryan has been "red flagged" by the Dr. and if he gets another one right away, then he'll have to see a specialist to make sure it's not something more serious. Jonathan is still in great health - other than a runny nose, but hey, we can't all be perfect.
Matt and I got a lot done this weekend and we're finally feeling like we're making some progress on some renovations that were put on hold when I went on bed rest...in June '06. At least it hasn't been a full year!
We've also decided that it was about time that we stop complaining about being so tired and start doing something about it. Namely, taking vitamins, eating healthier, and starting a workout plan. Ok, so we're obviously not going to just change everything right away, but there's some small transitions in progress. For instance, we've cleared out space in the basement for a workout area. Matt has a rewards program with Kraft where he gets free merchandise. He has enough points where he can get a treadmill and a small tv. Then Matt's little bro, AJ, has some weights and a bench press that's been collecting dust in his parent's house, so we'll be borrowing that. And to top it off, Matt will be cancelling his fat tax *cough* I mean his gym membership so we can start using it to pay for something more important, like say, diapers. :) That's a pretty decent start, huh? Wish us luck!
One awesome part of the weekend was a family trip to Red Robin with the 'rents. It's such a kid-friendly restaurant, so we didn't worry if the boys started to fuss, which they didn't, the little angels. Jonathan was in awe of all the decorations on the walls and all the people that were there. Bryan was mesmorized by Grandma's face and latched on every chance he got. It was great to take them out to a restaurant, we'll have to make it a common occurrance so they're used to it and not acting like crazy kids running a muck.
So, I don't have pictures for you once again. I'm sorry! I've been taking pictues though, so I'll just have to download them. Maybe tomorrow at work. I'm writing a reminder on my hand right now!
Side note: Does anyone realize how expensive grapes are now!? They were almost $8 a bunch at my grocery store! Too bad I didn't realize this 'till after I got them home! Oh well, they're still yummy.

Your doing great Matt! Don't get discourged with the ear infections. Both my boys got tubes in their ears. It's a 10 min. surgury. They bounce back right away, can't even tell it happened and it works great. Nathan still got ear infections but I could tell right away because it drains out and you just give drops. Jacob however hardly gets them at all now. Highly recommend them!
Wow, you guys are an inspiration that maybe I'll start some exercise and lose this post-baby pouch (yes, it's been 14 months since I've had them, I guess it's time to put some seriousness into getting rid of it!). Anyway, it sounds like you are all doing very well and adjusting to life with multiples well. I remember all you talk about so clearly...witching hours, exhaustion (still feel that sometimes), the first times out to restaurants...it's so funny how far we have come in one short year! It's amazing how much we can handle when it's put on our plates!! Keep up the good work!!
