Just another Thursday afternoon

It was just about dinner time! Both Avery and Riggs were sitting in their high chairs enjoying the little puffs (which seem to be daily appetizers!) and making sweet little sounds. When I walked in and called for my Darlings, Riggs squealed and did his new little laugh followed by a string of dah, dah, dahs and Avery gave me a screach of enthusiasm punctuated with smiling squeals! Both began slapping the high chair tray!! Cute! Abigail came running to greet me . . . almost as though she feels the need to compete! Mommie was busy preparing dinner for the Darlings (busy 'cause Avery was getting a little anxious about having to wait!).

While Avery and Riggs were at MDO earlier in the day, Mommie took Abi for her annual well-dog check-up! And, although she had to have her first "geriatric" physical, Mommie was pleased to announce that everyone (the babies and the dog) weighed about the same . . . 20 lbs! Hard to imagine that nine months ago, Avery and Riggs were less tha 5 lbs each!!

Once dinner was finished, it was time for the playroom! While I played with the darlings, Mommie showed off her purchases from Gymboree! With the holidays just around the corner AND the nearly two weeks the Ryan clan will spend in Louisville, having the right outfit is definitely an important element. I can't begin to describe everything but, suffice to say that each of babies have at least five coordinating outfits complete with sweaters, sweater vests and quilted sleeveless vest. The pants (jeans and cords) for Riggs will need to be hemmed and Mommie will have to get the size 3 in their shoes (Mary Jane's for Avery and penny loafers for Riggs) because the size 2 are tight on Avery and Riggs can't get his foot in 'em!!

Daddy came in to scoop up the twins for their evening stroll so Mommie could get dinner going. Dearie had so much more to do in preparation for the red beans and rice lunch at UL. Kisses and hugs then I was off. Just another Thursday afternoon with my Darlings!!

From last Friday at Aunt B's house

Darling Riggs was tickled to play hide and seek with Frannie. Though lacking video, his laughter and squeals are enough to brighten anyone's day! Thanks Aunt B!
