Today was one of those days that you just can't stop smiling. Graham, Evie, and I ventured out for our first walk and ended up doing a little more walking than any of us had planned. I packed up my car and drove to nearby downtown Homewood: a great place with cute shopping, sidewalks, and most importantly a lovely coffee shop. We parked and I constructed the ENTIRE Graco DuoGlider with both carseats. I was so proud of myself for doing it completely alone and in record time, may I add. So we began to stroll.....
Our first stop of course was O'Henry's Coffee Shop. Upon reaching the register I realized I had left my wallet at home. But remember as I said, today was just one of those days you just have to smile. So we backed our twin-wagon out of the shop and stood on the sidewalk, smiling. We had a decision to make; go back to the car, tear down the stroller, put the carseats back in and go home to retrieve the wallet OR walk 2 miles home and 2 miles back.... we chose the latter. :)
Of course, Mommy had to re-apply her deodorant once home, but we made it and I am not lying when I say that was THE best coffee drink I have ever had. I was so proud of Evie and Graham; they slept the entire way. :) It felt great to get some exercise and be out of the house. I wonder what people were thinking when they saw this lady pushing a double stroller down Old Montgomery Highway? It makes me smile.. and I hope it made you smile too.
So we are trying to maintain a day and night routine for our sweet little ones. Feedings every three hours and then bathtime, last feeding, and bed at 8:00p.m. Some days this is more successful than others, but I think they are starting to fall into the swing of things.. Evie at least. :) My darling Graham still seems to think he runs the show and from the looks of things, he really does. Oh well.. in time it will all work out.
I am hoping to have professional pictures taken of the twins soon. I just need to find Evie a dress and some much-needed headbands to grace her sweet balding head. :) I am actually thinking of just making them seeing as how when I shop for them, places are charging between $5 and $10 for a simple piece of lace with a bow.
Well, it seems Mr. Graham is hungry yet again, so I must go, but I will try my best to post more often. :)
Aww Honey!! One of those days, huh? Glad you were such a trouper and the babies were happy. I literally can picture you strolling through the hills of Birmi gham...maybe you should accidentally leave your wallet at home more often. You'll lose weight real fast...maybe I should try that...:)
