Super Heroes

Having a little one is a full time job with ever changing requirements and long hours. I can remember when Hammie first came along and Lina and I plunged into the crash course that is parenthood. Fortunately it was two against one and the exhaustion could be kept at bay by tapping out and having the other parent take over (Lina of course took the brunt of the work at the beginning due to being the food source). Having the numbers in our favor was a huge luxury that we have a whole new appreciation for after visiting our friends Johan and Sara last weekend.

Johan and Sara have twin girls that are around 8 weeks old. I reckon it will be awhile before either of them managed to feel well rested as it is a non-stop circus of changing diapers, feeding, burping, comforting and sleeping (if they are lucky). They are heroes. Johan even managed to make it out climbing, throwing one of the kids in a crashpad for a trip to the boulders.

Here are a couple pics from that visit.

Hedda....or is it Tova. The twins are already playing tricks on Uncle Walker


Getting a taste of being outnumbered. Looks like this battle was a draw, which is all a parent can hope for.


Johan, the super dad
