And Now a Message From Our Sponsor

The Clampetts have arrived for a short visit before the builders come inside the house, which, although the builders had accidentally knocked a whole through the fireplace and had to brick it back up, will start next week.


Feeding time with grandparents

My folks don't even mind that the babies are thoroughly cranky with teething and colds.

In fact, my dad read them 10 books yesterday, including an incredibly sweet one sent over by the babies' Obaba.

Of course, I do have to keep assuring them that no, they will not be taking the kids and adopting them and raising them in the Land of Plenty and Must See TV*.

Be back soon.

*If this teething hell doesn't end soon, I may just consider this option.

4 So sweet! I also love the little hands reaching out. I'm glad they came to visit for a while. Enjoy.

5 I too love the way she is reaching out, and how he seems so excited he doesn't know what to do with his. (of course I am sure he is biting on those little hands because of the teething, but it looks cute from here-with no sound and all...) (;

8 Let us know how things go with your parents since you've had the little ones. I am curious to see if the previous issues are less of an issue, etc. I hope your visit goes well. I'll be thinking of you.

9 Are those the baby food storage cubes? You'll have to let me know how you like them.

11 I've been in teething hell too, and the best thing I found for it was Hy.land's teething tablets. They are homeopathic and work great to soothe the soreness and quiet the cranky. Don't know if you can get them overseas, but I found them online. My kids actually love the taste and open their mouths when they see me coming with it. Good luck!

12 Your stepmomma is absolutely beautiful, huh? Dad ain't bad, either, of course. And, no one, NO ONE, can compare to those babies. Good luck, kiddo. And enjoy the 'rents while you got 'em there. D.

13 I remember when getting that couch was a huge issue. And now look who you have on it! Congratulations, Helen. You sure have come a long way.
