summer is over...

so we went on our vacation...it was a vacation...it was nice to get away.
the construction was 98% done when we got home, so that was even better!! now we just have a lot of painting to do...but thats the fun part, when we can find the time!
the twins went to their 9 month dr. appt on the 2nd.... vincenzo weighs 20lbs...and matteo weighs 19, but he also had a temp of 103! not good, we were relating it to teething at first, it started on sunday and was that high by tuesday, so we knew something was wrong. they tried, unsuccessfully to draw blood at the dr. office and ended up sending him home with a script for motrin. he took the motrin around the clock and by wed morning his temp was even higher. back to the dr. we went and from there they ended up sending us to the hospital because his temp had gotten up to 104.6 - very scary, especially since he hadnt been showing signs of anything...no ear infection, no sinus infection...nothing. i spent the day with him in the hospital, beth spent the evening so i could go home and take care of tuscan and cenzo and then when frank got out of work he went up and spent the night. by thursday morning matteo had broken out in a rash and the fever dropped immediately. apparently he had roseola...we were very grateful that it ended up being something diagnosable before we had to run anymore tests and by friday at his follow up appt. he was given a clean bill of health, so thanks to those of you who were praying for us....needless to say it was a very stressful way to spend our first week home from vacation!
im happy to be back to work, i actually missed it, a lot!! and frank was able to admit the same thing! we have gotten the new closet in the new foyer primed, but thats about it so far.
matteo has 3 teeth, cenzo has 4...they have started stage 3 baby food and they arent sure whether or not they like the chunks!!
my brother in law dom got married on labor day (my dad and beths 1st anniversary) we had our parents over on the 7th for dinner - happy grandparents day!! and today vincenzo decided to climb up a stair...looking at me the whole time with a look on his face that said he knew he was doing something he shouldnt be! that i am not ready for yet!! crawling is one thing, but they all need to stay in the same room!
thats all for now, time to get the little ones to bed - hopefully i will be able to get back on track now that the craziest month of my year is over!
