Updates, photos and weight checks!!!

Hey all,
It has been a busy past few days (that is compared to our normal taking care of infant twins busy). Uncle Ben and Aunt Marianne came down from New England for some uncle/aunt bonding time with Hope and Jack on Saturday. It was Kevin's mom's side's day at the Phillies game with almost the entire family in attendance and we didn't want to miss out. Despite the 90° heat with our seats in full sun, and the inability of the Phillies to hold onto a 9-4 lead, we enjoyed our first outing without the twins. It was great to see everyone and gush about the babies. Thanks Ben and Marianne!

Here we are decked out before the game:

Sunday was Kevin's first Father's Day. We didn't do anything special other than just hanging out and enjoying the kids. I tried to pamper Kevin with homemade meals and a reduction in my usual "requests" for help emptying the dishwasher, taking out the trash, etc. (husband of editor's note: the family did a tremendous job with the Father's Day celebration. Who knew Hope could cook crabcakes and Jack could pick out such a nice gift. Kevin).

As you can see, Jack enjoyed Father's Day as much as his Dad!

Today Hope and Jack had their 2 month visit at the pediatrician. (Can you belive it's already been 2 months???) Hope now weighs 8 lbs 1 oz and Jack is 7 lbs!!! Both kids are doing so great! They got their first batch of immunizations today which was a little rough for both kids and also for mom!

We got these onesies from one of Kevin's colleagues. Kevin took these pictures in an attempt to snap the perfect shot to share with the teacher. As you can see, it is hard to get them both to pose at the same time.
I had these onesies embroidered by a friend of my dad's. I love them!

XOXO to you all!

Another new post??

Hey all,
I know you are all shocked to see another new post so soon, but seeing as the last one was mostly pictures, this is still overdue. Hope and Jack were privileged to have a visit from our good friends Bridget and Dave this past weekend. Bridget arrived on Wednesday to help out at twin central and Dave joined us Friday night. All four of our family were spoiled by their visit as Uncle Dave and Auntie Bridget were expert bottle feeders, diaper changers, and baby rockers. To top that, they took over the kitchen and our fridge/freezer is now overflowing with delicious meals so that we do not have to think about what to eat for dinner for many meals to come. Thanks guys! I wish you lived closer. :-)

Here are the twins decked out and ready for a walk around the neighborhood. Despite my lightweight double snap-n-go stroller, it was exhausting pushing them up some of the hills and I was happy to have Bridget by my side to take a turn at the helm. I am a long way from my old runner shape.
Here are Hope and Dave after a feeding. She was captivated by him and it was so cute. Sleep deprivation makes us a little silly. Here is how i found the kids positioned by Kevin Sunday night/Monday morning after their middle of the night bottles - not sure if you can read the clock in the picture but it says 4:49am.

Hope needed a shoulder to lean on during a recent nap.
Jack posing for the camera as always.

New Pictures

Here are some new pictures for you guys. Sorry it's taken me awhile to get them up. Things are a little busy and the days get away from me. Regardless, here they are . . . pretty cute, I think!!!

Jack in his formal onesie.

Jack as Major Cutie!
Both kids chillin' in bed one morning last week with me.

Being difficult posing for the picture.
It's a lot easier to capture the cute poses when asleep (Jack).
Hope always wakes up from her naps ready to eat. As usual, Jack doesn't seemed phased.
Tummy time!
which Jack (above) and Hope (below) both enjoy . . .
But not for long!
