Luckily, Sydney and Abigail are now at the stage of enjoying the ride in the car. Only a few minutes on the road and the girls are usually fast asleep. The trip to St. Louis this past weekend was not any different--they peacefully slept through the 5 hour trip up and back with a bottle in Paducah each time. They seem to sleep in the car unless we are headed to church, so we end up holding them through the church service most of the time. No exception in St. Louis--I held Sydney in the foyer for most of the service. I guess missing "The importance of deacon selection at McKnight" details from the preacher and spending some QT with my baby wasn't all that bad.

We are beginning to experience the cooing and ga-ing from both of the girls. When they are in the mood, they will stare into our faces and talk to us for a few minutes. How exciting! Although juggling two screaming babies is difficult, they are growing and developing well and are sleeping in longer shifts. We keep telling ourselves that things will only get better--that's the right attitude, right? Rebekah is doing a great job with them at home and is able to have the first-hand experience that some parents are not able to have. She's a great mama.
