Weekend Update

...The girls had their 6-month check-up at the doctor on Friday.  That meant more shots.  They were so brave and tough, though.  Probably more so than Mom and Dad!  We also got to see their growth.  Emma weighs 15 lbs, 14 oz and is 25" tall, and Mia weighs 15 lbs, 4 oz and is also 25" tall. 

...Saturday morning we went to a twins' playgroup.  There must have been 30 families there. It was fun to hear other stories and strategies about sleep habits and feedings.  And nice to meet other families in our neighborhood.  There were even a couple people Matt knew, too. Our girls were some of the older kids.  Seeing the tiny babies made us realize how far Emma and Mia have come.

...My college friends Brooke and Chris Gillman were in town from Vermont, and stopped by to meet Emma and Mia.  The girls, especially Mia, turned on the charm for them even though they were tired.  After our visit, they quickly fell asleep and Matt and I had a long evening to ourselves.

...Today we explored Ballard via Bob, the stroller.  The girls loved their smooth ride, and we could even fit through all the doors of the shops. We checked out the local Farmer's Market too. The girls draw a crowd wherever they go, and they were so easygoing and patient while we stopped to talk to people.  It was a nice Sunday outing for the family. 

...Good weekend for Seattle sports.  The Huskies didn't play, so they couldn't lose. And the Seahawks finally won!
