Well Tuesday was a great day of helping with the care of Ryder and Huckston as we gave Katie a chance to get some sleep and rest as well as spending some time with Annsley, Gabe and Bobby. I did get in some good pickle ball play for an hour and a half before we made that hour long drive to Brandon around 10 in the morning and then again back home around 9:30 or so last evening. The boys are progressing with their reduction of reflux and little Huck is adding ounces with his good appetite and Ryder is just loving being held and is close to 9 pounds or more.
I started the day much the usual with a well before 6 rollout to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and then spent some quiet time lifting up several by name to my Creator and Lord. All seem as well as can be expected at this time as I've heard nothing to the contrary. I got ready and headed out on my bike for some pickle ball play at the Rec. until 9:30 then headed home to give the garden a quick hand watering before heading out to Brandon at 10.
The amount of traffic at this hour in the morning is just unbelievable so I'm sure glad I do not have to drive in it during rush hour. The big bridge was backed up for half a mile with stop and go traffic but once we got past that area it was heavy traffic but at least maintaining a constant speed. Katie had been alone with the boys for a couple hours and while both were awake when we got there she was holding her own. It's really hard on her when both boys are awake and want to be changed and fed at the same time. We took over around 11'ish and sent her to bed which she did until 5'ish.
The boys did great on keeping down their bottles and the new meds seem to help with that. They did sleep at times in their swinging carriers and stayed awake as we played with them through out the day but they do sleep a lot and we so enjoyed holding them probably more than necessary. Bobby came home with Annsley and Gabe and prepared a quick delicious supper for all of us and then we boys headed to ball field around 6'ish where they were having a practice session. Gabe was pitching batting practice and I feel sure he will be one of their main pitchers when the season starts. He is quite accurate which is what they need to keep the batters off base with walks which usually cause the runs to score. The team looks good and the coaches along with Bobby are teaching them baseball skills and drills. I left the practice around 8 and then headed back to pick up Nancy who was staying with Katie and Annsley. We left there around 8:30 as we knew Bobby would soon be home.
The traffic was horrendous even at that hour and now with new forever road construction the back ups were huge once again coming home. Once its completed which will take decades the traffic flow between the counties should be better but so many folks are moving here from up north, oh well. It wasn't long after unloading the truck and hitting the showers I was ready for some horizontal lab, Later
