It's so nice to get out, still...

We are lucky to still be able to get out of the house, being new parents to twins.  My mom has come to stay with us for a while, until we are settled into our new schedule.  By that, I really mean, until I find a new job! During the day I like to take care of the girls' care and prefer her to take care of chores around the house, which is a big help on its own.  She still gets to help me with the girls' care too, just not exclusively.  This is nice, because lately we've been able to leave her with the girls while we go out.  We just had a movie night this week.  It was refreshing to watch a movie when it seemed we were the only ones there.  We watched Ghost Writer, directed by the ever infamous Roman Polanski.  It was brilliant.  We both enjoyed the story very much.  Tomorrow night, we have another Phoenix Suns game to attend and we're also very much looking forward to attending a friend's house party on Saturday.  It is a nice treat to continue to have a social life, and also find time to have dates here and there.  We're hoping we can keep this up once my mom leaves.  We'll just need to have babysitters lined up to help.  Any takers?  ;-D

Official Weigh-In Today

The girls had their second pediatrician's appointment today.  The highlight was finding out how much they've grown...Eva weighs 7 lbs 3 oz, and Zoë weighs 5 lbs 10 oz.  Such big girls, our sweet babies!

Bath time is so much fun these days...the girls behave so well and seem to really enjoy it!  Here they are after their baths.  How sweet they are, our little angels!

Twice as nice

It's so sweet when we can hold them together...

Too close for comfort?

We are so blessed.  Our baby girls do really love each other so much.  This is truly evident in the way they seek each other out when they are sleeping.  See for yourself!

I can't help myself! Practically every time I walk by, they are in a new cuddling position.  This is their latest one -- I caught them spooning...

Introducing Eva Grace and Zoë Elyse

Here they are!  We took this picture on Friday, February 26th, at their first pediatrician appointment.  Eva is in the background, and Zoë is in the foreground.  By the way, did we mention before -- they are identical.  They do look a bit different now, because of the difference in their weight.  At their doctor's appointment, Eva weighed 5 lbs even, and Zoë weighed 4 lbs.  We are happily adjusting to having them at home with us.
