Another day almost in the books and I am still pretty much sane. I even slipped out for about 30 minutes to pick up some groceries all by myself. It was nice to be out of the house for a few minutes and really nice to grocery shop without having a little person throwing things into (and out of) the cart. And I was even able to sleep until 9 this morning and take a nap with Abby. I am going to be sad to see the era of grandparent help end and lose out on the ability to focus on one child at a time when necessary. But, it will also be nice to get into a routine and figure out how we are going to survive being a family of 4.
I weighed Olivia with the Nintendo again today and it said she weighed 8.2 pounds. I will be pretty surprised if she really does weigh more than 8 pounds when we take her in to be weighed tomorrow morning - that would be gaining over a pound since last Friday. But if we base weight gain on dirty diaper creation, then she may have actually gained more than a pound. We've been going through diapers at an amazing rate.
Abby has been enjoying some grandma time to the maximum. Today Abby and Grandma Mary took a walk down to the Soo Locks since we could hear freighters going through starting yesterday. They didn't get to see any boats, but I think they still had fun being outside. Abby loves being outdoors now that the weather is getting nicer (it was 53 degrees today). I have a feeling this summer will be a lot of time in the back yard for us - not that I have any complaints about that.

Wow! another cute picture of the girls!! Baby looks so mature for her age, I bet she will be smiling very soon, if not already when she thinks about Great Grandma:) HeHe! Love them little people, and envy Grandma Mary. I am so glad she got to spend time with the girls, and a chance to spoil them a bit:) Love you allo<-<
