I feel so loved! Justin changed his plane ticket and came back from Europe six days early. On his first day back, he ran errands, fixed the computer, repaired a leaky toilet, and managed to make sense at a family brunch despite being jet-lagged and going on 26 hours without sleep the day before. His [...]

It was touch-and-go for a while, because blizzards in Wyoming were canceling flights, but the weather cleared up just in time for my dad to come out for the weekend. Happily, his brother Duncan, Duncan’s wife Sheila, and their children were also in town visiting from New Mexico, and when you add in my dad’s [...]
Happy Thanksgiving

Justin’s Mom came up with Stuart for a few days over Thanksgiving. We all had dinner at my sister’s house. There were 16 people total, and it seems like my sister is following my parents’ tradition of having a potluck Thanksgiving dinner for all nearby friends and family every year. My mom flew back in [...]

The babies met some new faces and reacquainted themselves with some familiar ones (Justin’s mother and her friend Stuart) over a long weekend filled with lots of visiting and expeditions. Everyone was prepared to deal with the onset of stranger anxiety, and there were some tears. Fortunately the babies handled it much better than we [...]

Justin’s cousin Ray was in town, so we spent the weekend catching up with him and letting the babies hear a Texas drawl. They seemed to enjoy it. On Saturday we went to the Chabot Space and Science Center. The babies saw a planetarium show about astronauts and got to play with some of the [...]

This is my Dad’s first visit with his grandchildren. He is just here for the weekend, but he’s packing a lot of baby-holding time into it.
The babies had their 4-month check-up this past week. They are growing really well and the doctor was impressed with how well Claire is rolling over. They got their second [...]
The two grandmothers

We all gathered at Dinah’s house for Thanksgiving. I overheard this exchange between Doris and Jan: “You have the cutest grandchildren!” “Thank you! I must say, you have the cutest grandchildren too!” I think they were both right.
Four generations!

Baby clothes

My aunt Linda sent a big box of toys and clothes to us. Having raised twins herself, she was a very good judge of what we might need or want. The clothes were things her children had worn–a tiny sweater my mom had originally knitted for my little sister and then passed on to her, [...]

My grandparents and my uncle are here, so we’re keeping busy this weekend. On Sunday we’re having brunch at my sister’s house, and Justin will take a four-generation photo at that time. Stay posted!
