Where Have We Been????

IN AUSTIN, TX!

We are on day 7 of our trip to Austin to visit T-pop, Nonna, Aunt Nut, Gran, and Great Aunts, Great Uncles, cousins, and neighbors that Carson & Dean haven't met yet. There hasn't been ONE day cooler than 100 degrees! The babies did such a FANTASTIC job traveling down here with Eric & I. There isn't a direct flight, so we had to connect thru Orlando. They were quite the hit in the airports and on the airplanes! But, as I suspected, nobody sat next to us! (which was a good thing, because we needed that 3rd seat)! Since being in Austin the babies have adjusted well and haven't had a problem sleeping or anything (they are sharing a pack n play). Nonna borrowed LOTS of equipment from the neighbors, which is great. There are 2 swings, 1 bouncy seat, and 1 pappasan chair. So, the babies are completley entertained. They have also been exposed to Archie & Brady their dog uncles (a boxer and viszla). They are starting to get used to their loud barks that Meurice doesn't have! Since it is SO HOT we took the babies swimming. THEY LOVED IT! The pool water is like bath water since its so hot, so they were comfortable and really relaxed in the water. Daddy had to leave on Sunday to go back home to work so Nonna has been doing all the middle of the night feeds with me and Aunt Nut is flying back with us on Friday. Some updates on the babies - - Dean is over 11 lbs (feels like 21 lbs) and Carson is probably under 10 lbs. They are hilarious now. They laugh and smile at everything, which melts my heart EVERY SINGLE TIME. I love it!!! Dean has been intentionally smiling for a couple of weeks now and Carson has just started doing that. She stares hard at you and then will bust into a full smile. Last night and the night before they have given us 5 hour stretches in the middle of the night. Let me tell you, 5 hours is like 5 years. It's amazing! The babies have also gotten some new clothes, some great baby gifts, and have had their fair share of margaritas! MOMMY TOO!!

I have many, many pictures that I will upload when I get home. I can't wait to share them all.

Hope everyone is well!!

PS - Emily & Jason, CONGRATS on Jacob's arrival home!!! We cannot wait to meet him!
