"A" vs. "B": Don't Fence Me In...

Hi everyone, mom here. Well, we got clever and decided to buy a play-pen of sorts for the girls. So, what should be our dining area is now a gated area of fun. It was exhausting chasing Brooke all over the place, especially since she wanted to follow the dog (Bailey) everywhere. And we are not 100% confident that Bailey won't snap at one of the girls if they pull her ears. And, of course, that's what they want to do. So, for their own safety (and Bailey's sanity), we made them their very own area to crawl and roll around in. They love it! And so do we!

Dad and I got to have massages on Saturday. It was so nice. I got a gift certificate back in December for my birthday, and we were finally able to use it - 7 months later! But, we are both deserving of an hour long, baby-free break every now and then.

The girls made it through their second Sunday at church. The Sunday before last was their first time to church and in the nursery. They cried the ENTIRE time. We went to pick them up and they were both being held by one of the workers, and their eyes were red and puffy and full of tears (the babies, not the nursery workers - it was worth clarifying ;). Pretty heart-breaking. Our girls are definitely not used to "strangers" taking care of them, so I think they were a bit traumatized. But it's not like they were the only babies crying. This past Sunday was a little better. Only Allie was crying her eyes out when we picked them up. Brooke was sleeping. So, I'm hoping that they will adjust very quickly and learn to enjoy hanging out with other babies.

Hope everyone is having a great week so far! I'll leave you with my favorite verse: "So let your light shine before men, so they may see your good works and glorify the Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16
