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!

Fire Station Preschool Fun

Today was a field trip for our preschool class, the Sea Otters.
While Avery was a little bit reserved initially, she bravely entered the fire station on her own. After talking, she told me she was scared of the sirens and was worried they would go off. I am very proud of how she still touched the hose and air tanks.
Alina was at the front of the crowd, touching and interacting with everything! She put her face in the air mask and helped count the ladders.  She told me her favorite part was the fire boat and the bed on wheels with a seat belt (aka a stretcher).
Fun for all and so glad to have shared this experience with our preschool friends!

Quiet morning book play

Avery in the green Brobee shirt is piling books on the chair to "fix it." Alina sits reading a giant stack of books.

Waffle knit bagels

Better known as pumpernickel. They were more excited about it when they thought it was chocolate.

Brobee Shirt

Avery and her Brobee shirt. If it isn't in the wash it is on her. When it is in the wash it is being requested.
