On es…???

Ultimament el F i el T estan creixent rapisissim. Estan aprenent a dir moltes paraules i sembla que ho entenguin tot molt be quan els parlem. S’ho passen pipa ensenyant on son les diferents parts del cos. Ahir en vaig fer un video, estan maquissims.

Lately F and T have been growing so fast. They are learning to say a lot of words and seems like they are understanding much better when we talk to them. They have a lot of fun showing the different parts of the body when I ask where they are. Yesterday I made a video of it, they are so cute!

Finian: ha dormit 9 hores i mitja seguides!

finalment, el Finian ha dormit 9 hores i mitja seguides! A un any i mig… se de molts pares que deuen dir: que??? fins ara no ha dormit 9 hores seguides? Be, cada nen es un mon i tenir bessons no es facil…

Finally, Finian slept 9 hours and a half straight! At 1 and a half years old… I know of a lot of parents that might be saying: what??? until now he hasn’t slept 9 hours straight? Well, each child is different and having twins is not easy…

Brian & Sunshine wedding

We went to Brian & Sunshine’s wedding last saturday in Walnut Creek. It was a beautiful day and the boys enjoyed running around, chasing the ducks, smelling the flower and dancing around. Here are some pictures from Ana Marie and Nora.

Noni’s present for Teo’s leg

When Teo broke his leg, Noni gave to the boys two little piggies, one of them with a wraped leg, like Teo’s. She also made a card with pictures of people with casts on and she herself wrapped her leg as if she had a broken leg too. What a great grandma Fin and Teo have!!!

Quan el Teo es va trencar la cama, la Noni va donar als nens dos porquets de peluix, un d’ells amb una cama embenada com el Teo. Tambe va fer-los un llibret amb fotos de nens amb cames enguixades i es va embenar la cama ella mateixa. Quina iaia mes bona que tenen el Finian i el Teo!!

keep it cool

it seems like we will have to freeze the boys at night so we can have some rest… just kiding See this article

Traffic

There is some traffic lately at our house. This is one thing they love, drag pillows all over the house. Up and down the house, over, and over. So much fun!

Ultimament hi ha molt the trafic a casa. Una cosa que els encanta es es arrossegar coixins per tota la casa. Amunt i avall, una vegada i una altra. Divertidissim!

Academy of Sciences with Moriah

We finally made it! This morning we went to the Academy of Sciences with Moriah and her boys. As expected, Teo and Fin’s favorite part was the fishes. This time we visited the toddler room, which was a hit as well. Here are some pics. The video is of Teo trying to catch the very fast fishes. You can also see him walking in the cast, not too bad! On monday we will go to the doctor and if we are lucky the cast will be gone…

Breastfeeding twins sculpture

I’ve never been as rested and calm with the two boys feeding. They move so much, this position would be impossible with Fin and Teo. Also, where is the feeding pillow? those arms must be strong..

Mai he estat aixi de relaxada quan dono el pit alt nens. Es mouen amunt i avall, aquesta posicio aixi asseguda seria impossible amb el Fin i el Teo. I a mes, on es el coixi? deu tenir uns bracos fortissims…

Pictures Forest Lodge

Finally I had some time to download the pictures. Sorry I didn’t take very many pictures of the family… There’s a lot of pictures of the house, some of them blury or dark, but I wanted to have them as a memory for everyone. Some of the pictures were taken by Rick, Liam and Jasper. Enjoy!

Forest Lodge-Matteson Reunion 2009

Forest Lodge

Ara som a Forest Lodge, a Cable, Wisconsin. Ens hem trobat amb tota la familia de l’owen, per part de mare. El teo esta molt be. ja camina sol la majoria de les vegades. El Finian l’imita fent-se el coix, si puc en fare un video perque fa molta gracia.

Ara ja diuen mes paraules: Noni (nene), Bubbles (babu), boat (bo), door (do), aigua o water (aua o wawa), duck (da), calent (au!), boom!, wow!, no!

Quan tornem del viatge ja penjare fotos.

Now we are in Forest Lodge in Cable, Wisconsin. We are in the Matteson family reunion. Teo is doing great. He walks most of the time by himself (in the cast). Finian imitates Teo’s walk, jumping on one foot, if I can I’ll post a video of it because it is really funny.

Now the say more words: Noni (nene), Bubbles (babu), boat (bo), door (do), aigua o water (aua o wawa), duck (da), hot (au!), boom!, wow!, no!

De Young Museum with Moriah, Matisse and Soren

Moriah and I had the brilliant idea of going to the Academy of Sciences the day of the month that is free… There was a line of 2 hours at 9.30 am!!! So we decided to go to the De Young instead. The favorite part for the boys was the sculpture garden, specially the apples which had some rain water on the top that they could play with. Moriah and I will try to keep getting together and take the boys to museums and interesting places often, next: Academy of Sciences…

Teo’s Tibia and Fibula fractured…

Yesterday Teo fell from the swing and fractured his tibia and fibula. He’s been doing pretty well today, but a little frustated that he can’t walk. We have bought a buch of table toys (puzzles, stacking blocks, threads…) so he can play seating. He will have a cast put tomorrow, I’ll be showing more pictures of it later.

They are getting big…

So this happened a month ago… They are toddlers now, they walk. One day I decided to go to the park walking, instead of using the stroller. Bad idea! They went in all the directions possible, none of them the same as the other brother, so I had to carry them both to the playground, and there it is, my wrist has some sort of a tendinitis. And now is starting on the other hand as well…

Riding six white horses

Here is a funny video of myself. Even though I’ve been in the US for about 5 years, there’s some words or combination of words that are still hard to pronounce. Here I am having a good time playing the guitar and Owen is just pushing my buttons wanting me to say it all right… I’ll make him say “setze jutges d’un jutjat mengen fetge d’un penjat”… wait for this video.

More words

Teo and Fin are starting to “say” more words. They don’t completely say the word, but they try to say it. Here is a list of the ones we can identify:

Bye-bye, Dog, Bird (ba), Ball, Aigua (wawa), Milk (mo), No and Nose or Nas, au (when it’s hot), thank you (tatoo)

El Teo i el Fin estan comencant a “dir” mes paraules. No diuen la paraula sencera, pero intenten dir-la. Aqui hi ha una llista de les que nosaltres podem entendre:

Bye-bye, Dog, Bird (bo), Ball, Aigua (uaua), Milk (mo), No and Nose or Nas, au (quan es calent), thank you (tatu)
