Happy Father's Day!

Yes, finally! Here are the pictures from Father's Day!



We had a wonderful time at Grammy and Grandpa Olney's house. The twins were as cute as could be. Granddad Bender showed up to join in the fun. We set the kiddy pool up and the girls loved it! We had little turtles that shot a stream of water and they loved getting squirted! Allison took a nose dive in the pool and went all the way under water. Surprisingly she didn't cry at all. They had a great time with everyone and are looking forward to celebrating Father's Day with the Benders next weekend.

Fathers day passed and along with it passed a milestone. Kaylee did not nurse the babies on Father's Day and hasn't since. So far, the girls have been very good about it; we have had minimal fussing. It has been bittersweet I think for Kaylee. I just want to say that I am very proud of her. She made a commitment to breastfeed and when we found out we were having twins, she kept that commitment. She kept going through feeding two babies at the same time. She kept going through 8 hour, non-stop feeding sessions. She kept going through babies crying to be first. She kept going through countless times pumping. She kept going through all of the hurdles one must go through to successfully breastfeed twins. Through her dedication, she has given Allison and Mika a perfect start. Thank you Kaylee! We love you!

Anyway, I started talking about feelings and junk and I got sidetracked. The only update that I have is that I think Allison said "Mika". She was watching Mika get out of the car with Mommy and said "Ka!" a couple times. I think that counts.

Since this a Father's Day post, here are some pictures of the girls showing off the traits they get from me.
