It's true! We really do hate Thursdays, well Thursday nights anyway. For whatever reason, any good sleep habits developed throughout the week are out the window come Thursday night. Why oh why?! Maybe it's because we come to expect a sleepless night, and somehow set ourselves up for failure during the day time? Whatever the reason, Thursday nights are the generally the worst and Fridays are always terrible days fraught with the inevitable exhaustion that follows a sleepless night. But enough about that. We are parents of infants and infants will cause sleepless nights. It's a certainty of life; better to just accept it!
This week passed quickly. Ivan was off on Monday and so we took advantage of the day to take care of the usual business that crops up. It's funny though, at the moment I couldn't tell you exactly what we did. My brain is so full of the things I need to remember to look after the girls that there is no room for unnecessary memories. Throughout the week though, I do remember that we had lots of walks up into the hill and then back down into the valley. Alexis and Mathilde do all right during the walks, but generally they hate having any sort of wind on their faces. We picked up a couple of sun hats for them and look forward to the warmer weather.
As the video shows, the girls are getting better at understanding what their hands are for. It means really having to watch out for your cups, plates or whatever is in front of you while you're holding them. We've been practicing drinking water from a cup this week. Alexis gets the idea, but Mathilde just lets it run out of her mouth. True, they used to drink formula from a small cup when first born, but that skill long ago disappeared and they're starting from scratch.
Well, I'm having a really hard time finding time to get this blog out, so I'm just going to sign off. I should have time to get a nice long entry done next Friday, since Ivan will be home for the Easter Weekend. I'll try to be creative with our video clip. All the best to you!

So Charlotte opened her gift at the party, Thank-you! And she was right, there were dogs! She loved them. In fact when some money came in the mail she had her choice of toys and picked a stuffed dalmatian to match. The degio puzzle exactly what she'd been asking for (well anything degio) so funny when Nic was litte he watched Dora and she is all about Deigo, usually it's the other way around.
Great to see the girls growing. We've got a baby in the house today, my girlfriend is out of town and her two kids are here. Nice to have a baby around again. Right now it's nap time, other wise I can't as much as take my eye off him for a second, he just turned one and everything is in his mouth and he's on the move. It's cute to see how much Nicholas enjoys taking care of him.
Still loving your blogs so we can see Alexis and Mathilde each week. They are beautiful as usual! But of course, grandparents will love it all. ....JL & DL
