Spring break babies

Doni with Harper and Ava Wednesday night

Harper and Papa reading the paper Wed. morning.

The twins stayed with us Tuesday and Wednesday nights while their family went to Disneyland. We picked them up Tuesday afternoon, that evening they started to get a little cranky so Papa got the ukelele out to entertain them. It works well, they like the music. Unfortunately, I think they may be tone-deaf, as they seem to love Papa's singing just like they do mine...or else they are humoring us. Uncle Alan came over to visit, and they had a good time playing with him.

Put them to bed about 10 that night, Harper woke up at 3 for a bottle, fed Ava one, too since I was up. Harper woke up again at 5:30 to eat a little bit, then they both slept until 8.

Watching Tubbies while Grandma took a shower.

Wednesday we went to town. Met Doni at the Frontier nursing home and she and I took the babies in to visit Ruby, her 91 yr. old friend. Ruby wasn't feeling very well though so we only stayed a couple of minutes, but I think she was happy to meet Ava and Harper and they brought a smile to her face. After that, we went to Target, we each had our own cart w/baby and I'm shopping and come around an aisle and catch Papa putting some Little Debbie cakes in his cart (supposedly forbidden food on our diet)--he said that Ava mouthed the words "Little Debbie" to him so he had to buy them.

Harper on the left, they are staggered in the bed so that flailing arm on Harper's doesn't wake up her sis.

Doni came up later after work to visit with the twins. They were a little afraid of her at first, but that didn't last long. By the end of her visit they were playing with her and she then she put Ava to sleep by rubbing her back, and walked Harper to sleep. Alan came over, too, and we all had a nice visit. The twins took about a 45 minute nap, that was about 7 and then stayed up until 9 p.m. Ava slept straight through until 7 in the morning, Harper woke up and ate at 10:30, then slept until 6. Good little sleepers!
