We have six cute bunnies in the backyard. The proud mother made a nest behind the A/C unit and they're hanging out in our yard.

The guys are now three months old, so we've made it through the hectic first quarter of life with them.

The boys are getting more adorable by the day. They smile, they coo and they follow us intently with their eyes, especially Sasha.

They are sleeping better and better, and recently going to bed is getting easier also, which is great for everybody. Almost exactly three months ago I wrote: I woke up at 5.00 am but told myself this would be the last full night in a loooong time so I went back to sleep. That was true, especially the first six weeks or so. Thankfully we now get pretty good nights of sleep. Not every night yet, but they often go to bed around 11.00 am wake up between 6.00 am and 7.00 am which is excellent.

We went to the library's truckday yesterday morning, or vrachtwagendag in Dutch.

Nora was still a little tired from her cold but she enjoyed seeing the trucks from the safety of my arms. The boys slept well.

Once at home Nora retreated to her blocks and toys to spend some time by herself. Then she told us she liked it -- especially seeing the garbage truck.

The boys had their first cold. Nora's cold started on Saturday night, and though we tried to keep her and the boys apart, they started coughing a few days later. They had some fever also, but thankfully the symptoms were pretty mild.

The kids have now recovered, and Sasha and I had a light version of the cold but it's getting better also.

Last Saturday we took the car, all five of us, and went to buy flowers for on the deck.

On Sunday Sasha and Nora planted petunias. Nora enjoyed playing with the soil, transferring it from the bag to a pot and then another pot...

Yesterday I brought Nora to my work for the official Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. My firm organized various nice events in our offices around the country, and there were a lot of kids in my office.

Big kids were welcome all day and had a nice program, but that would have been too much for Nora. So she spent a fun hour and a half with me and my co-workers and then we went for lunch together.

The highlight? A balloon she got from a co-worker, haha.

During my runs, which are usually around 7.00 pm, I've seen a fox family who made their den in a yard on 14th Street. Yesterday we all went for a walk after dinner to see the foxes. It was a nice walk and we were joined by Kelly for a while. We also saw a little bit of the game at Washington Lee. Then on our way back we saw the foxes, at least the parents.

Two weeks ago we took our first family picture.

The boys are 11 weeks old today.

Dr. Kim, our pediatrician, told us to make sure the boys get enough tummy time, so we've started a regime for them.

Before their feeding they now need to spend some time on their tummies. Just like Nora, they hate that. Adrian finds it a little bit easier than Leo who complains loudly but neither of them particularly enjoy it.

The boys started to smile a week or three ago, and they are smiling more and more.

Yesterday evening when I came home they were sitting in their bouncy chairs downstairs. I sat down in front of them and started talking with them -- they loved that and rewarded me with big smiles. Then I read them their first Nijntje book, Nijntje in de speeltuin.
