Happy Sleep!

Go, Hank & Clara! Another night of making it until 6:30 a.m. It is far too early to call it a trend, but I am happy about it anyway. It is only the second time they made it that long without needing a feed. As they are getting bigger, perhaps it might just be something they continue doing. I can dream, can't I?

We had a very nice day so far. Mark's parents are in town to help out with the kiddos for a few weeks. The help is super welcome. As a belated Father's Day gift, we went out for breakfast. Hank and Clara did well. We gave them bananas in a little mesh thing to suck. Admittedly, the vast majority of the bananas are all over their shirts. But, both the kids were happily occupied which is all one can ask.

I don't really know how to deal with the constant clothing mess associated with feeding. Leaving the kids in a clothing with food stains around the collar isn't really ideal. And stripping them down for each meal probably isn't a solution forever (though I will admit it is how we do breakfast now that the weather is warm). Alas, perhaps this is why people say that babies = constant laundry.

Off to book club tonight. I made a strawberry chocolate cobbler that I look forward to tasting after book club. I fear it is highly burnt, but hey, perhaps it is the effort that counts.

No special picture that matches today's entry. Instead, this is one of the older pictures of the babes as a point of reference for how much they have grown.
