After our pediatrician gave us the "go ahead" at 6 weeks (the medical community is quite hypervigilant about multiples), we began taking our twins into "public"--that is, to Costco, Wal-Mart, and the Galleria Mall. (All of the "necessary" places! :) Who knew that twins would be such a spectacle? We can barely walk for 5 minutes without someone stopping us to ogle at our babies and asking, "Are those twins?" In the photo above, Daddy, Chance, and Grace sport Polo outfits (the latter two were gifts from Eric's co-workers) at Costco, where we buy diapers and wipes in BULK!
When Grammy Sharon came back to visit again this summer, the adults outnumbered the babies in our house by 3 to 2, so we actually made it to church for the first time on July 22 (the twins were 14 weeks' old). It took us 3 hours to prepare 3 adults and 2 babies for the event, but--thanks to Grammy--we made it.
In the first few weeks after the twins were born, our church family stood in the gap for us by making us food, giving us gifts, and offering us loads of support, so we were grateful to be able to show them the little miracles they've been loving so well. (Grammy Sharon took this photo for us after church on our back porch.)
