Last night we did one of our first "all family" trips. We picked Sam up at school and then went to the park. I think it will be okay. Our challenge now is getting three under three in car seats and in the car and into their humongous stroller. The stroller only fits in our trunk if we take off two wheels, and the car seats only fit if we carefully push the door closed at the end. We're at maximum capacity!
At Sam's school, many of the teachers and kids came to see the twins. A teacher joked with Sam about taking one of them home, and he screamed "no! no!" while stomping his feet. He's really shaping up as a good big brother. Afterwards, he helped Emily push the cart, holding onto the front bar and walking alongside. He's just such a great toddler.
Not much else to report. School life is generally good. Teaching is a challenge but is coming along. Living in a community is always a bit of a challenge. On the one hand, I love living near work, but it also means that I'm more aware of regular on-going conflict. This week we've had intermittent internet and a leaky roof, but both seem to be mostly fixed now. I'm not sure I like it when my employer and landlord are the same person. However... people are also very kind, Sam is thriving, and I can leave my door two minutes before class starts. It's also nice to be in a place where Christmas is a little mellower. We still have shopping to finish, but things are not so frantic here.
Pictures are of us in front of the school and of Emily and the kids on the go.

Great pictures! They babies are beautiful! I can't imagine the changes you all are going through right now but it sounds like you are adjusting well. Glad you've had some family support!
Thanks Jennifer! All good things. The first months were tough the first time around, so we knew this would be a challenge. But things are working out!
