These are wonderful babies. Easter was a breeze. It was the first big car trip...five hours total from Madison to Des Moines, followed by two full days of cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, neighbors, etc.
And the only time they cried for more than a few whimpers was when I bumped Eve's head against the crib trying to get her out in the morning...oh, the the previous morning when she's had a hard bubble stuck. Otherwise - happy, squealing babies.
Eve started belly laughing on Sunday. I was in the kitchen, helping get the meal ready when I heard that most beautiful sound. Grandpa and cousin Zane were playing with her on the floor. Big belly laughs.
They were so well behaved during the Holy Week masses....we only missed the Vigil, which is a good things, since it tends to get fairly long. And they were super cute in their Easter dresses and bonnets.
I just can't believe how blessed we are to have these lovely girls. Maybe the trade-off for us was twins, but because we're so busy, they're going to be even-tempered, healthy little things.
Oh, but they did inherit their parents' cat allergies. My allergy seems to have gotten worse during my pregnancy...now my airways constrict, even with medication. So, I was very much hoping the girls would be spared. After all - this house is not kept super clean, there are two dogs living here, and I don't exactly keep them out of the dirt.
But both mornings they woke up very congested which indicates an allergy. And they haven't woken up all snotty since we've been back home, so it wasn't a cold or anything. Darnit. I'll keep working on getting them immune to it, since otherwise spending a week with Grandma and Grandpa wouldn't exactly be a treat.
And to finish - here is a pic of them from Easter Sunday.
