Dylan Lenau and Lindsey Daelyn

We have posted some pictures already of the twins but have not formally introduced them. We are now proud parents of Dylan Lenau Lucas and Lindsey Daelyn Lucas. They were born on 12/30/08. Dylan was born at 8:17 pm weighing 6lbs 15 oz and was 21 inches long. Lindsey came 4 minutes later at 8:21pm weighing 5lbs 7oz and was 19 inches long. We were able to come home from the hospital two days later on 1/1/09. It was a great way to begin the new year. Here are a few more pictures that have been taken since we have been home.

Lindsey and Dylan like to sleep close together. There are times were we have even caught Lindsey sucking on Dylan's hand while they were sleeping.

First Photos

This is Devin writing... Jenny is the blog lady around here, so I'm struggling my way through creating a post of the twins first pictures. They are healthy, happy and doing really well. Jenny will write more sometime when she has a chance. She is doing very good, recovering well and trying to eat and rest in between feedings. Here are some photos, hope you all enjoy.

Update on Babies

No babies yet! I cannot believe that we have made it this far. I am 36 weeks now. Just about full term for twins. If someone would have told me that we would be considering being induced I would have told them they were crazy. Well believe it or not I have a date set to be induced (which is Dec 30 at 6:30am). Both Devin and I are hoping that I will spontaneously go into labor but we will see what is the plan for us. Someone told me this but I can't remember who, but they are totally right... We were talking about how I can't believe the babies are still in they said that our prayers are being answered. Which made me pause and think that Heavenly Father has certainly blessed us by keeping them in and having them stay in as long as possible. These babies are sure our Miracle babies. I can't wait to meet them.

Christmas Time

Devin decided to go all out decorating our house with Christmas lights. The pictures really don't do the view justice, but it still looks beautiful.

The Late Update on Thanksgiving

For some reason I have not updated you on our Thanksgiving. We had a great Thanksgiving with good food, company and plenty of games. Instead of having the traditional turkey we had cornish game hens. They were delicious. Here are a few pictures of our dinner.

"Hot" Date

Last night I was joking with Devin about going on a hot date with me. Knowing that because of the bedrest the date would probably be me on one couch and Devin on the other. After dinner he got in his snow suit and said he was going to play with the dog outside in the 7 degree weather. About a half hour later he came in and told me to get in my warmest clothes and go outside. To my surprise he had a nice fire started and a perfect spot for me to sit. So we did have a nice time bundled up next to the warm fire. It was fun to do something other than wacthing TV.

I've Been Tagged

This is my fifth picture from my fifth folder. It is not as exciting as I had hope but brought back some great memories. This was taken on a ski trip at in Squrriel Hallow in Idaho in Jaunurary 2006. This is our favorite place to ski. I really do miss it. We haven't found a place like this to ski since being in Alaska. Of course there are several wonderful trails but nothing like this. One of my favorite things is breaking in a trail after a huge snow fall. We spent most of our weekends in the winter at Squrriel Hallow. I hope to ski there again someday.

Had a Great Time at the Shower

On Saturday November 8, 2008 I had some friends from the ward put on a baby shower for me. It was so much fun. Cammie and Tina worked very hard to make it perfect. I had friends from the ward and friends from Anchorage. I have a slide show of some pictures that were taken. Just a heads up on my part... I was not focusing on being a model for pictures so please excuse some of the funny faces that I make. I have concluded from this experience that people are very generous and thoughtful. For all of you out there THANK YOU!

Here are some update pictures of the pregnant Jenny. Hope you enjoy!
