Quiltin' All the Way from Bean Town

During a quick trip to Boston, I had the pleasure of meeting up with the Traveling Harrises and Their Dancing Bears for dinner and chat.  Great to see friends and their growing family.  Somewhere along the way, supermom Erin had time to make the twins a beautiful quilt, and they bestowed it on us at dinner.  You can see more pictures of the quilt at the Harris blog here.  Here are some pictures of us (and I mean all of us) enjoying it:

After the fun was over, I got on the floor for some tummy time/planking of my own.  It was primarily a move of dominance to make sure my children realize their father has a very strong and developed neck--particularly the nape.  My fathering book taught me that respect must be earned; you can check that off the list.

Are We Getting Any Sleep?

March can only be so mad before the back of your eyelids find you again.

And How Is Addy?

People continue to ask how the dog is adjusting to the babies.  Quite nicely, in fact.  She is business as usual with making sure the mailman/woman earns every dollar for coming to visit our door.  When we feed in the middle of the night, Addy seems self-obliged to get up with us and sit between us while we feed.  She will also stand up on her hind legs to look into the crib and watch the twins.  Here are some pictures so Addy doesn't feel left out [Note: The bottom picture is evidence that Addy has adopted the "sleep when the babies sleep" principle]:

So Sleepy Together

We are not complaining--these are some sleepy babies.  I'm sure things will change more quickly than we can expect, but these little guys are experts in catching some Zs and general chilledness:
