Blue Angels

Last week we went to see the Blue Angels. We had a good view from the Atria Manresa assisted living facility.

Catching Up

Wow it has been a while! These pictures are from before Christmas.

Homestead Gardens

Today we took a trip to Homestead Gardens to take some pictures of the twins in their Halloween costumes with the festive scenery and sunshine.

Teeth

Both girls have teeth coming in. Florencia has two visible on the bottom and one on top; Emilia has one visible on top and on on bottom. Emilia is now sitting up by herself and she sits up on her knees in the crib.

Library & Beach

More pictures for you!

200 days

Ben — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 13:51:12 +0000

We recently passed the 200 day mark. That’s about 4000 diapers changed.

At the Beach

Ben — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 00:14:52 +0000

A few more pictures from Ocean City and some bits of news. The girls turned 6 months on the 4th, so we started on “solid” food — rice cereal mixed with breast milk. The new Bambu spoons we ordered came in yesterday, and they work well. Perla went shopping at the consignment store in Crofton, so we now have many new outfits to show off. Friday we go to Dr. Rice for the 6 month visit. The electricians came again on Tuesday with the new switches and outlets. They installed those and the ceiling fan in the living room, but the bottom cover plate is scratched. After they left I noticed that the glass shade on the foyer pendant is cracked. They have a bit more to do, so they are coming back on Thursday morning.

Back from the Beach

Ben — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 22:04:00 +0000

Last week we took a trip to Ocean City. It was our first overnight trip with the babies. We all survived and actually had a great time. First I have some pictures from before the beach to post.

We also went to Johns Hopkins last week. The doctor says Emilia’s arm is almost fully recovered. He wants to see her again in 3 months to determine how the nerves were repaired.

Light Switches

Ben — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 01:58:12 +0000

The electrician came, and we now have more light fixtures and switches to turn them on. Unfortunately the custom color outlets and switches we want are special order and will not be in for a while. We also found out that the ceiling fan down rod extension we had was the wrong size and we were missing a small but necessary part for the foyer pendant. So we will have to wait a couple more weeks to finish that job.

In the mean time, Perla and I are busy painting the downstairs bedroom. The color is called guacamole. Perla’s cousin Natali is coming this weekend, so we have a good incentive to get the work done. The next project will be to remove the carpet and carpet glue in that room and install the hardwood floor.

Last night the babies slept from about 11:30 pm until 8:30 am! I don’t think they slept the whole morning, but they stayed quietly in their cribs.

We are going through our clothing stores to bring out bigger items because many of the 3 – 6 month size clothes are very tight now (at 5 1/2 months).

Sandy Point

Ben — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 02:41:59 +0000

We took a trip to Sandy Point State Park on Wednesday. The girls enjoyed the fresh air sitting in the shade at the beach.

Today was the girls’ 5 month birthday. To honor this occasion, we (finally) moved the crib and other baby furniture into the nursery. Florencia has woken up the past two mornings at 5 am and cooed loudly for about an hour. We’ll see how it goes, having them in the next room at night.

Florencia rolled over for the first time this week while we were on the phone with Grandma. She can get to her stomach, but not back over.
