Kristy and I are learning that concepts we once knew now have a new definition. For example, tonight we had a little steak dinner on the grill. Let me do the comparison:
Before:
700PM - On a hunch, decide to go out to eat
730PM - Arrive at restaurant, hang out for a while to get a table
800PM - Have a couple appetizers or salads
830PM - Enjoy a well-cooked steak while being annoyed at the crying babies around us
900PM - Finish up with some nice creme brulee
930PM - Decide to hang around for a while to listen to the band
1030PM - Go home to watch TV for a bit before bed
After:
Days before - Buy steak for freezer
900AM - Decide to have steak, so defrost it on the counter
600PM - Feed Ella
700PM - Feed Jack so that we've timed the dinner appropriately
730PM - Put steaks on grill
745PM - Jack and Ella decide this was a most inopportune time for mom and dad to eat
750PM - Put Ella in car seat on table in the hope that she'll stop crying
755PM - Steaks are done
805PM - Hurriedly finish steaks since Jack is now throwing a fit
810PM - Clean up between fits
815PM - Jack and Ella decide that being calm is now good
830PM - Sit on couch with aching bellies from eating too fast
The rest of the night - Stay up so that Jack and Ella can eat
Oh well, the pictures make it all worth it. And by the way, if you have any care references, please let us know at dkokoska@yahoo.com. Thanks.

Thinking?
Fighting (I think Ella might take this one, unless Jack uses that lower center of gravity)
Chilling (I'm sure they'll love this one when they're older)
Sleeping (It does happen from time to time)

Dinners will get easier as they get on more of a routine/schedule. Babies just have some sort of sensor that knows when hot food hits the table. My lead for child care isn't going to work out, she is super allergic to cats. I'll keep my ears open. Love the photos - they are looking awesome!
ahh great timeline, we laughed- we cried :)
nice lighting on the pics- love the "chilling" pic
Oh my gosh...I can almost smell their sweet baby smell!! I don't really get the whole throwing fits through dinner - they look perfectly harmless! ;) It is this time in life when parents start having wine with dinner :)And for what it’s worth, Nick is 12 and Macy is 9, and we judge a good dinner not by the temperature of the food or the pace at which it must be consumed, but by how much blood shed there has been between the two of them. We figure by the time they are out of the house, our dentures won’t be able to handle stake. Therefore, we have become vegetarians.
