Background

On March 29, 2011, we were blessed with the arrival of our beautiful, identical
twin girls. We were very excited for this event, especially since it was
preceded by a 5 week hospital stay for me (and pretty much for Ches, too, since
he spent every night there with me).

Now we are trying to navigate the waters of parenthood. There is no amount
of mental preparation one can do to get ready for a new baby, let alone two
babies! I am creating this blog in order to share the experiences, but more
importantly, as a type of diary to capture all the moments I fear I will forget
if left up to just my brain to remember!

Our first library book

We had a very fun morning by walking along the road then taking a detour through a trail in the woods. Our sojourn ended at the library. Unfortunately it was still 15 minutes until it opened. But luckily there's a beautiful garden surrounding the library and we were able to easily pass our time. Our patience was rewarded with entry to an empty library. We spent some time looking at the big fish tank, pointing out the clown fish and the blue tang, before wandering over to the puzzle area. After making a mess and politely cleaning it up, we found some books and sat on the couch to read. Though there were many good options, the girls decided on one book to take home. On the quarter mile walk home, we were able to observe large construction equipment. The girls were very brave even though we were only feet away from loud work. We made it home, ate a snack and read our new book 3 times before taking a nap. Talk about a fine morning!
