The ladies are back

The girls arrived home from their fabulous two and a half week adventure in the States. They were escorted by their Super-Uncle Rod. It sounds like the flight was problem free. Emily and Anna watched the same movie two times in a row, and of course neither one of them slept a wink (and neither did poor Rod). They arrived happy and raring to go though, and we are thrilled to have them back.

The expectant mother waits.

The girls said they were absolutely, no way, not even close to being tired. They bounced off the walls (and on the trampoline) for about 3 hours, at which point, despite there protests, we forced them to lie down. Emily crashed after about 4 minutes, Anna was snoring 20 seconds after her head hit the pillow.


I'm not sure how long it took Rod to pass-out, but I'll swear he sprang bolt upright about a millisecond after the camera made that little beep it makes right before it snaps a picture. I don't think I've ever seen someone go from sleep to action so quickly in my life - the guy must have some serious "fight-flight" instincts. He would have scared me if he didn't look so damn cute. You can see what I mean in the picture below (you can't see it but he is actually moving really, really fast when the picture is taken).
