Meeting our two uncles, auntie angie and cousins

The last couple of days have just flown by. My dad was admitted to the hospital for an infection, he was released yesterday and is at home doing well. My mom left with my sister and her family to go to Vegas on friday evening. They are there having a wonderful time, wish I was there. Grandma tried to take Amelia and Baylee. I said only if she takes their mom with too. No such luck, so we are all here in MN still. I might be more bummed if it was 30 below zero here but the weather is nice. The girls are awake a lot lot more now. They like to lay on the floor for limited time and play on their mat. They also love to be on their tummies. There are not a lot of babies I have met or worked with, that liked their stomachs. I think it helps my girls release some gas. The formula they are currently on to gain weight with, fills them up with gas. Poor things. We spent the day with Janice the other day because she had too many kids so we helped out. We had to spend the next day out of our house again, because we were out of electricity again :( Our power didn't come back on again until 8pm. It is frustrating when you have to leave because you need the microwave to heat up water to heat the bottles. Also, the house was really warm. The girls are warm babies and don't like to be hot, much like their parents. I took a few snapshots the last couple of days.

On Saturday, we were out by Apple Valley and decided to stop in and visit with Grandma N. Grandpa N. is in Vietnam so we thought we would give grandma some company. It turned out that Uncle Mike, Uncle Vincent, Auntie Angie, Cousin Nicholas and Cousin Tawny were all coming there for BBQ. We stayed and the girls got to meet their other family. It was a lot of fun to see the family interact with the girls. The cousins were shy at first but they warmed up after awhile. No matter what happens in families it is great to see the reaction to a new family member or in this case TWO. Here are some photos.
