Congratulations Grami Tami!

The girls had a big weekend! They celebrated Grami Tami's retirement with a big party! They got to meet many relatives from Iowa and their Uncle Jake and Cousin Raizel even came in from Maine! We had a ton of fun. Jake and Raizel stayed with us and the three girls had a wonderful time playing together both Saturday and Sunday mornings. Jake and Raizel let Judd and me sleep in while they took care of the girls; it was a wonderful surprise! A fantastic weekend filled with fantastic memories; we are so proud of Grami Tami and also very excited that she will now have more time to play!

"Forrest, we're like peas and carrots"

Remember that quote from Forrest Gump, "Forrest, I'll lean up against you and you lean up against me and that way, we won't have to sleep with our heads in the mud."? Well, Claire and Lucy are becoming just like Forrest and Bubba! They like to make sure that they are touching or close to each other while they play, even if they are doing something on their own. I guess nine months of snuggling in the womb is a tough habit to break! They sat like this, just playing for almost 15 minutes this morning.

Not much for flowers......

My good friend Tunde inspired me to try to take some cute, springy, outdoor pictures of the girls. Here is the result of her effort, a beautiful picture of a beautiful girl. Below are the results of my efforts. Between needing to take naps and not liking the feel of grass on their bare feet, I think that maybe we should try again tomorrow... or not! They were too funny though, not to share with you!
