Layla meets Layla

Hello folks,

It's finally the weekend again and we're looking forward to doing absolutely nothing. The state fair is kicking off, but we won't be anywhere near that part of town. The twins still have a 3.5 hour cycle so their awake time between naps would give us about enough time to drive there, park, and get into the front gate before turning around and heading home. So we'll wait for another year or two... at least until they're old enough to eat some funnel cake or fried twinkies.

Yesterday I spent some time at home taking care of the babies and Kendra as she did some more recovering. As Layla sat in the exersaucer she figured out that since she's finally big enough to lean over and see the little mirror. Once she leaned over and saw her own pretty face in the mirror she spent the next several minutes smiling and talking to herself! Layla reached a whole new level of enlightenment and self-awareness. :) I took about 10 pictures trying to get a good angle and lighting to capture the moment and how amazed she is to see herself. This one turned out about as well as I could hope:

The twins are still able to fit their chubby legs into the bumbo so twice every day we give them mashed up spoon-fulls of peas, asparagus, squash, and several other tasty veggies. They both always look cuter in their pajamas. Easton has puppies and Layla has kitties... and of course they are blue and pink. :) This picture reminds of looking down into a nest of little birdies when the mommy bird is leaning over with a worm in her mouth. I can almost hear the chirp, chirp noises coming from Easton here:

and we're very grateful GG was able to help out so much over the past few days especially. She's been right in the middle of feeding, burping, and singing to Easton and Layla. Here's Easton saying, "thank you, GG"! What a good looking boy, huh.

Kendra is doing much better and she should be able to go for a good walk in the morning after the babies eat and before it gets too hot. Our weekend will be filled with seeing friends and family since our time here will soon be up. Time flies when you're... so busy you don't know what day it is.

Catch you later this weekend!
