Six months ago

posted 07/16/2009

Six months and one day ago I had two babies still in my tummy. Today they are half a year old- plump like dumplings. Corey Rose calls them smiley birds. They crinkle their noses when they giggle. Lucy is more of the social, go with the flow kind of girl and Eve is a bit shy. They hold each other hands when they drink mama milk reaching out for one another, one hand sliding round the other's wrist and then back and forth. Until someone's eye gets poked. We are eating peas and greens from our garden and today Danny and Corey Rose picked the first tomato of the season. Danny grew 'em from seed- and now, the hot days have turned the first of what we hope to be many, red. Such a distinct taste of summer. So today, to celebrate the girls' 182.5 days on earth, they ate pureed carrots and we scooped ice cream on blueberry cobbler and raised our glasses. To life!
   

Summertime

I'm sitting up late at night- I know I should be sleeping. Any minute the babies will wake up and want milk- or even better, about five minutes after I turn out the light, just as I'm about to drift off, one of them will begin chirping. Oh well, I do like sitting up late at night especially when the house is quiet. There is a coyote howling close by and all the dogs in the  neighborhood are on alert. I'm uploading a few new photos- enjoy. We send our love. J, D, CR, E, L,
