My Grandpa....Frank Hartmann
In loving memory of my Grandpa Hartmann who passed away unexpectedly yesterday after heart surgery. I'm so happy he came to visit Taylor and Laynie recently. I will cherish this photo forever and share memories of him with the babies.

Currie Family Update
Wow! Days just fly by. I've asked several people who have had twins what it was like and they would all say the first year is a blur. I get that! Most of the time I don't even know what day it is and which diaper was changed and who was fed last. It's a crazy life and you would think that a routine was established by now. I think there's no such thing with twins. You just have to go with the flow and do things in that minute you have. There's no planning in this house. If I look too far ahead in my day and start to list out what needs to be done it just gets way too overwhelming. I've had to learn quickly that things can wait and my priority is feeding, changing and loving my babies! The rest (even bills) have to wait!
Some days are easier than others, but most nights are hard. Trying to get 2 babies down is a chore, especially at the same time. My mother-in-law has been staying almost every night with us. My mom comes once a week and Josh and I handle the weekends on our own. It really is a 2 person job and at times it's nice to have a third around to get stuff done. We're managing and staying sane at this point.
Taylor is 6 lbs now and Laynie is 9! It's amazing how fast they grow. All in all things are great and I wouldn't trade this for anything. It's the hardest job I will ever have and it's all worth it!
Love,
Josh, Angie, Laynie and Taylor

Getting Settled
Wow! This is a BIG job. Most of the time I always have 1 person helping me as it's too much for just me right now. It has been crazy to say the least. Some times both babies are crying and hungry at the same time. Then, there are times when you get one settled down and the other needs something. They both want to be held a lot too. Slowly but surely, I'm learning short cuts and creative ways to soothe both of them. It's hard and a lot harder than I ever thought it would be. I'm VERY thankful for all the support we have.
I know many are wanting so badly to come see the babies. We of course want so badly to show them off. The problem is that it's flu/cold season. We have strict orders from our doctor to keep the babies at home and only bring them out if necessary. The issue with having people over is that we will be opening up our house to germs. We especially can't have people over that have kids specifically those kids that go to daycare or school. So...as sad as it sounds, we have to limit our visitors. We hope you understand. We spent 77 days in the NICU with Taylor and due to his chronic lung issues if he gets even the common cold he could end up in the hospital again. We will do what it takes to not let that happen.
I will continue to post pictures when I can. Thank you all so much for continuing to follow our journey. We love reading the comments and knowing how much everyone out there loves and supports us. We love you too very much and miss you!

Working w/ Daddy
When you have twins you have to find ways to get things done. Laynie is in the front pack with Josh.
