Onward

Well, babies have been home for about 9 days.  I think we're starting to settle in.  I'm sure everything will change just as quickly.  My sister, Lise, went home today.  Bummer!  It was so nice to have an extra set of hands and someone with experience to tell us we weren't going to permanently damage our kids -- not just yet.  Things we did in the last week:


Me on Double Bink Duty.


A quiet Dad moment.

Sylvie in Boppy Land


Etienne in Boppy Land.

Smedley, watching over his babies.


Elliott, wondering what the heck you're doing.













Sylvie, trying out the swing Barb sent.  She liked it.


So far, so good.  No major dramas.  We're all just chillin' in our little home.  The weather has been beautiful, and the stroller arrived today.  Let's hope we can go for a walk tomorrow.  Yay!

Here are a couple more pics from the hospital -- the night we got to come home.  Sylvie and Etienne slept the whole way home.  What good babies!!!  They must have taken pity on us.  We hadn't eaten or slept in a while, and we were so ready to come home we were just about ready to cry.  I've never been so happy to see our own cob webs in my life!

Etienne the Giraffe

Loading up the car to go home.  Woo Hoo!!!
