Well, the babies are 10 weeks old now, and they're growing so fast! At our 2 month doctor appointment, Matthew weighed 13 pounds, and Rachel weighed 10 pounds, 13 ounces. It's so funny that after holding her, it seems like he weighs about 20 pounds. We think he's trying to catch up with his cousin Zachary. At this rate, he might make it!
So far, we've had lots of smiles from both babies. They are sleeping sometimes up to 7 hours at a time (which was scary the first time it happened!). Next week, they'll start going to Aunt Kelly's every day while Kris & I go back to work. That's going to be so strange, but getting back into a routine will be good. We've tried a couple of trial runs with Aunt Kelly, and they seem to be going well. My Aunt Jan is also there, so Kelly isn't going crazy with our twins, her newborn, and her toddler. Or, at least she has company while she does go crazy.
Last week, we were lucky enough that Kris's mom, Nana Karen, came to visit--we were able to take naps, and get a lot of stuff done around the house (plus she always brings brownies & her recipe file, so we got to eat like kings!) The babies loved hanging out with their Nana. They also got to meet their Great Aunt Jean last week. We went to cousin Cailyn's 2nd birthday party, and I forgot my camera! Hopefully one of my sisters or sisters in law will send me some pictures of my darlings (hint, hint).
I know you don't really want to read my rattling--you're just here to see pictures, so here they are! As soon as I buy a new USB cable, I will upload some video, too. (I have either lost or accidentally thrown away the cable that came with the camera in my semi-sleepless state!)
Matthew on the 4th of July
Here is Matthew with the remote--hopefully this doesn't happen for real any time soon!
An extreme closeup of Rachel
Here's a blurry Rachel--but she's smiling, so we had to keep the picture. My mother in law got a great one of her smile, so I'll hopefully have a copy of that soon!
The picture of 3 babies is the one time I had Matthew (left), Rachel, and their cousin Nathan (right) all at once while Kris went to the grocery store & Aunt Kelly took Terra to the park. It was only an hour, and we all survived. 
Here is our good friend Max holding "his" baby Rachel. He was very excited until the baby was actually in his lap--and then he was done.
