Burke Lake Park

Yet another outing with the girls. This time to Burke Lake Park where we strolled around the Lake, saw baby goslings and took a break on a park bench.

Squirmy Worms

The girls are squirmy little worms in their day time crib. Evelyn is closest to the camera.

Slings Rock

Thanks to my friend Josie who let us borrow this awesome sling for newborns. Whenever they FREAK out and we've tried everything else, we put them in a sling. This morning, I blow dried my hair with Sylvia in the sling and then wrote all these blog posts. She slept peacefully. They just like to be close to us all the time. It's very cute. Here's Sylvia in the sling.

Bath Time

Their belly buttons fell off and now it's time for a REAL bath 2-3 times a week. Sylvia was OK with it, Evelyn was not. The picture is of Evelyn wrapped in her hooded towel post bath (and freak out!).

Good Eating

See, parents CAN still make good meals with infant children. We enjoyed steak and a spinach salad AND a great glass of Pinot! Yum!

Funny Video Clip of Evelyn

We have a lot of fun laughing at the girls weird facial expressions, especially since they don't smile yet. Here's Evelyn and her scruntchy face.

Another Outing

Sylvia chilling
Me and Evelyn

David and I checked out another new spot -- Pohick Bay Park and Mason Neck Park. 2,000 acres of nature conservancy that's only 15 minutes away from us AND on the water. Very cool. We strolled around and enjoyed the park.

2 Weeks Old

Today is Evelyn and Sylvia's 2 week birthday. We're going to try to guage their growth by this bird. Every so often we'll take a pic of them so you all can get a good idea of how much they've grown. In this picture, Evelyn is on the left and Sylvia is on the right. They were squirming around a bit, so it's not the best picture, but oh well.

Our First Picnic

It's a beautiful Tuesday and we enjoyed a picnic and stroll at Belle Haven Park, right on the Potomac. It was really nice. The girls enjoyed lunch too (my first public feeding went off without a hitch...that means no accidential slippage if know what I mean).

We still manage to get out every day -- yesterday we put them in slings and walked the neighborhood, even though it was cold and overcast. It's sooo nice to get out of the house!

Mother's Day

Wow! Everyone loves Mother's Day. I got tons of cards from friends and family, and David's Dad and Step-Mom sent me flowers! Aren't they beautiful! This only added to the beautiful flowers given to us by David's Mom, my Dad and Step-Mom, and numerous friends to celebrate the girls' birth! Our house is so pretty with all these flowers. It helps with the poopy smell too!
