New Highchairs...thanks Grandpa!!
We finally purchased some highchairs! Thanks to Grandpa, that is, who funded the purchase. They are very nice and they attach to our dining chair, which was ideal for us...no room for two enormous highchairs. The babies seem to like them too! Here are some pictures of them reclining and drinking their bottles.

Uncle Rob visits the babies!
We had a quick but nice visit with Roger's oldest and dearest friend Rob a few weeks ago. (I'm behind on my posting) Rob lives in Florida so we don't get to see him very often...we cherish the time we have with him. This was his first time seeing the babies. Rob is a twin too! There is actually a pretty neat story that he reminded us of while he was here.
Roger and Rob's families have been closely connected in several different ways for many years. Rob has a twin brother and apparently there are nine sets of twins in his family...none from any of his siblings. Rob's mother had a son. This son had some complications and sadly did not survive...his name was Roger. Rob's mother has always considered Roger her "son", and Roger has always affectionately called her "mom". I'm not telling this story as well as Rob does. Anyway...the moral of the story is that none of Rob's siblings have had twins despite the fact that there are nine sets in the family. And then...of course Roger had twins. Bizarre, huh???

Photo Shoot
We took the babies for a real photo shoot...as opposed to the fake ones we've been doing here at home. It was quite the adventure. Ada and Emmet did great despite the fact that Ada peed on the floor and Emmet kept barfing all over. Even though friends had urged me to "be strong" saying that I did NOT need to purchase all of the poses they would take, it was so hard to resist! We spent a pretty penny and now have 8 million photos. Ah well. Unfortunately the poses of the two of them together did not turn out very well but I'm pretty happy with the outcome. They gave us a cd with all of the shots on it, which is where I've uploaded the pictures from. They have not been edited so pretend that you can't see our hands in the individual photos. ENJOY!

Super Grandpa!
Roger was racing all weekend and I had plans to go see a movie with friends today so Grandpa came to babysit....ALONE! All three of them (grandpa and babies) were happy as could be when I returned! I was nervous....not for the babies, more for Grandpa...it's a lot to ask of someone! He has babysat before, but today was his first time alone. The babies treated him very well. They took a nice long nap and were ready for bottles and play time when they woke up! Thanks Grandpa!
