Whatever the food, mealtime can be pretty messy around here.

Rolly-Polly Babies



Lots and lots of news! The girls have taken two big trips, one downstate and one to PA overnight and Kyle and Heather stopped by with Simon. They've also both been rolling around like crazy. We'll have to baby-proof soon!

A few weeks ago, the girls went downstate to their great grandmother and great grandfather's (Mom-mom and Pop-pop's) house. It was a long drive there and back, but the girls were very good. Of course grandma and Granddad Bender were there as well as Great Aunt Tracy and Cousin Jade. Everyone was very excited to see the babies and they were excited to be in a new place. They weren't very good with their naps (but then, they never are). We stayed a few hours and had a good dinner. Sorry, we don't have any pictures, but I know Grandmom and Granddad do - maybe they can send some along and we can post them later.

The next weekend, the girls went to PA for their Great Aunt Linda's birthday. An even longer trip and overnight. We were a little worried as they hadn't spent the night anywhere since we started them on their sleep routine. We had no reason to worry, the girls did great. There were so many people there for the party and there was a minimum of fuss (from the babies) even though they were being passed around like hot potatoes. They mostly slept through the night. Mika woke up once and sung herself back to sleep (even through the baby monitor she sounds cute). In the morning Aunt Linda helped with the babies, the family came over, we had breakfast and then left. The babies had such a good time and Aunt Linda was thrilled to see them on her birthday. Again - no pictures. Sorry.

Finally we get to last weekend. Kyle and Heather stopped by with baby Simon! Seeing the three of them interact was pretty cool. And look -

Well, until next time, see you later.
