Okie Dokie

Alrighty then! We are sleeping! We kept poor little Zack (and his poor parents) awake as long as he could be kept awake yesterday and we have success. He slept from 9:45pm until 8:00am. Yeah. Zack rocks. So, everybody slept last night at the same time and the boys both napped at the same time this afternoon.

Looks like we are all set for another night of going to bed all at once. Chris and I may even get our 2 hours of peace that we are quite attached to after "baby bed time" (8-10pm). Oh how we cherish those 2 little hours. They are what keep this house going.

Things continue to go well around here. Luke is not completely impressed with Zack yet. As we explain Zack's little quirks to Luke and point out all of the things that Luke gets to do that Zack can't do yet, Luke gets a little more secure in his new position.
Zack is VERY impressed with Luke though. He just watches every little thing Luke does. This big brother worship has definately eased our transition!

Thanks to everybody who offered to watch the boys so we could sleep....You are all so wonderful. Believe me, I was tempted. But I knew it was just a matter of us all pushing through together so we could all be tired at the same time. It was like mock speed reaclimating to the time change thanks to Luke being a stickler for his little schedual. I really think we've managed to conquer jet lag in 2 days, which has got to be a record or somthing.

Here are some photo's of what we've done today...

We went on a walk through the neighborhood and then played in the front yard for a while

This is a photo of us NOT holding either one of the kids while they are both awake...this is the first time this has happened since Monday!! Very exciting....Little Zack is starting to explore!

Looks like you have it all figured out. I am going to have to try the Amanda's Jet Lag plan as we will hit the ground running and very scheduled with four boys in three different schools! I will be asking for tips on that for sure! I am glad things are going so great. Sweet dreams!

I am very happy for all of you. Zack looks like he is fitting in very well.

Thanks for the wonderful pictures and update! I love the one with both of them in the bath tub. I noticed how their mouths are closed the same way! They look like brothers already.:)
