Summer Adventures of 2010

This summer the girls have had the opportunity to bask in the sun with their Mama and Daddy. They have also spent many hours at Daddy's school helping Mama keep busy. The past two days, Juliana and Olivia had a fantastic treat. Oma and Opa came to visit and help Mama take care of them while Daddy went away to meetings in Georgia. Although we missed Daddy very much, we had a blast spending the time with Oma and Opa.

 We missed our Daddy!

The day started with waking Mama at 7Am. After J and O's feedings, we took a quick nap and then off to the swimming pool. We wished Daddy could have joined us, but our girls couldn't help but to smile and coo at anyone who would pay attention to them. Once we arrived to the pool, Oma and Opa swam with us.

 We love our Oma!

Olivia and Opa!

Our fun in the sun soon ended when Olivia started crying to go home. Once home, the girls nursed a little and fell asleep. Olivia was put in her bed and Juliana took her nap with Mama and Precious. Our nap lasted all of 30 minutes. Which means actually 15 minutes of sleep time for Mama. Mama has not been sleeping very well since Daddy is gone, and the girls had upset tummies.


For our bedtime routine, Mama starts by giving one of the girls a bath and then passes her to Daddy, but in this case, Oma. She then fed one and rocked her to sleep while Mama bathed the other girl. Once she was done Mama reads a story and the girls fall asleep by the second book. 5-7 ounces later, the girls are down in bed sleeping for the night. This routine has been going on since the girls turned 3 months.

The girls are near 4 months now and Juliana weighs 12 1/4 pounds and Olivia weighs 12 1/2 pounds. They are beautifully made and given to us by God. What special angels we are blessed with.
