Checking in…

So I’m back for a quick update.  Meant to do it yesterday, but obviously that didn’t happen.  But that’s okay…

We had a good, but very busy, weekend.  The twins were in Eric’s cousin’s wedding on Saturday.  So we had to be out to the farm on Friday night for the rehearsal.  The twins weren’t great on Friday night.  Between missing bedtime and being surrounded by unfamiliar people in an unfamiliar place…well, there was some concern about how they’d do on Saturday.  And while they were a little whiny before the wedding on Saturday, when the big moment came…they did fabulously.  And with Erin’s pretty white dress and Alex’s little tux and red bowtie, they were pretty darn cute to boot!

Of course, with all the busy-ness, Eric and I were pretty beat by the end of the weekend.  But it was good to hang out with the family.

I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is the day after tomorrow.  Seriously…where did this year go?

I’m actually quite excited for the holiday.  I think we’re going down to my parents’ house tomorrow night and staying over to help Mom get things ready. (Don’t worry, everyone…she’ll make the pies!) And of course, the combined Edlund/Campbell Thanksgiving Event is always immensely fun.  Crazy and loud…but always fun!  

I’ve had a cold developing for over a week, but I think it’s finally decided to arrive full force.  Hopefully, I can keep Megan from getting it too badly.  The twins aren’t so bad now when they get sick, but infants are a different story…it’s so hard to listen to them trying to breathe while they nurse.  So I hope she’ll get a pass this time!

I think we’re about a month or two away from Erin’s jabbering actually becoming real words.  It’s bittersweet, for sure.  But having a clear idea of what she wants will be lovely, too…  And seriously, that girl is such a girl.  She loved her pretty white dress for the wedding.  She likes to have little purses, and she shares her momma’s love of shoes.  I’m sensing a hint of fashionista in her…but I’m pretty sure she got that from Karen.

Alex is totally enamored of any toy he can push/pull or stand on.  He runs the popper or other push toys back and forth for a long time.  And you should see his happy face when he’s successfully climbed up some new obstacle.  He’s pretty cute!

And as for Megan…things are just moving along.  She’s starting to respond to us a bit, which is super cool.  And she’s slowed down a bit on the growing, too.  I’m hoping to get some pictures of her soon.  But not surprisingly, I’m not finding a lot of time for candid pictures these days!  And usually, when I do think to grab the camera, she immediately starts to cry. Maybe she’s just not a fan of getting her picture taken!

Anyway…that’s what I’ve got for now.  There’s probably more, but I don’t remember it anymore.  Happy Tuesday!
