Bear (not bare) Butts

Can you tell we're related?!?

Hey everyone! Thanks for making your way back to us. 

It is always great to see your familiar (and cute) faces each week. We look forward to seeing all of your faces in person someday soon. As usual, this week has been a busy one. Appointments, costumes, media appearances, dirty diapers, visitors, wardrobe changes, late nights, shots, and much, much more consumed yet another hectic week. So why don't we jump right into the crazy, beautiful life we share with so many wonderful people.

All tuckered out after our first round of synagis shots.
These will hopefully prevent us from getting RSV.
Keep those fingers (and toes) crossed!

Sharing cuddle time with mommy

But what you can't see here is daddy's eyes are also closed.

Mommy and daddy have discovered that as long as we've got a
bottle in our mouth, we're content enough to let them prop
the bottles for a few minutes.

No More Stay at Home Parents

Mommy and daddy are both back to work now. You cannot imagine how difficult it has been for all of us not being able to cuddle every minute of each day. So that means that when we do cuddle, we've got to take full advantage of it, especially since there's always another baby impatiently waiting to take your cuddling spot in mommy and daddy's arms. We are very fortunate to have lots of family and friends that have helped out with the transition back to "the real world". The extra hands, prepared meals, and constant support has helped tremendously. We are also very lucky that we don't have to go to daycare yet because mommy works 7:00 pm to 7:00 am and daddy works 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. As you can imagine, mommy and daddy don't have a lot of time to sleep. So we're "trying" to make up for it and give them catnaps throughout the day. It hasn't happened yet, though!! Mommy and daddy get frustrated when all three of us are screaming at the same time, but then all it takes is for one of us to smile at them and the world is all better again. It works every time...suckers!!

Look! We're famous! Here's our picture as a news headline on

Our First Halloween

If you haven't figured it out yet, mommy and daddy love Halloween...and we kind of have to by default. Besides us looking cute all of the time, we had to bump up the cuteness a bit by trying on a few costumes. "The Three Baby Bears" made an appearance on Halloween morning. Before the ghosts and goblins terrorized on Halloween night, we had already been around the valley. It was on some site called Facebook, a kid pictures website, the Grand Forks Herald, and the Fargo Forum. I guess when you're as cute as I am, you're kind of a hot commodity! Eat your heart out, boys! 

Hope the changing table can handle 30 pounds!

Packing on the Pounds...or Ounces

That's right, we are almost out of the single digits! At 3 and 1/2 months old, we're at a combined weight of over 30 pounds! The little peanut, Charlie, is inching (or ouncing) her way to 10 pounds weighing in at 9 pounds 9 ounces. Jaxson, the tank, is plowing through the double-digits topping out at 11 pounds 5 ounces. And I, the little princess, am sneaking up to Jax tipping the scale at 10 pounds 5 ounces. I am guessing that the next time we're weighed, Charlie will be out of the singles and into the doubles. That 22 calorie formula mixed with love and a dash of cuteness really packs on the ounces. Now, if we could just get Charlie to grow upwards...not outwards! :-P

See, sisters can get along.

Buh-bye! Toodle-Loo! Ta-ta!
"We only part to meet again!"

Well, so long, family, friends, and faithful fans! The gifts of love, thoughts, and prayers from so many are greatly appreciated (and needed) each and every day...especially for mommy and daddy's sanity!! :-) 

We hope your week goes well. We will talk to everyone soon. We only promise to be good this week if you promise to be good, too! However, we know it's really hard to do, especially for most of the Hoheisels and Mobergs!! 

Until next time, stay safe and stay warm. We love you all! God bless!!
