Hello all! We're back to "to work" on a cloudy, dreary Monday. Wow, Fall just sort of appeared out of no where! I look outside and there are red leaves about to fall from trees, and I need to get out and clean up the gardens. It's amazing that it's been a whole year since we came here to this house and started to prepare for the arrival of our beautiful girls.
Speaking of our beautiful girls! They have discovered that they can move themselves around in their environment! They're not crawling forward, yet, but they are scooting around backwards and moving from sitting to their tummies. It came at a good time, since Toys R Us is having their anniversary sale this week. We picked up a baby gate for the top of the stairs and a sort of baby corral to contain them when I can't watch them directly. Ivan and I did some re-organization of the living room down stairs to make room for the corral, and also to baby proof the space for when they are on the loose. There is really so much more to do, but I guess we'll let them show us what needs to be done. We've got all the immediate hazards covered and should be good until they start walking. Famous last words?
We've been enjoying getting out with them more and more. Sunday we took them to breakfast at Cora's before we went grocery shopping. Both of them are able to sit side by each in the grocery cart now. We actually had a lot of fun shopping! Alexis and Mathilde have started "singing" and so we sang our little song down the isles for the other shoppers. We were quite a hit! We also enjoyed our trip to Toys R Us with the girls on Friday after supper. Usually we would never dream of going anywhere after supper, but they were in good moods and fairly alert, so off we went. We knew it was time to go when Alexis had little half eyes while in her Papa's arms. They're just so cute and so fun to be with.
We'd like to shout out to our Sister In Law, Toni Lightwood. Today is her birthday! So Happy Birthday, Toni, the extra video is for you. We're thinking of you.

Thanks for the bonus video! It's funny you say fall has arrived there, our summer has finally arrived here. The past two weeks have been the nicest weather we had all summer! It's hard to believe fall will be here in a week. The kids enjoyed the videos, Nicholas announced that he wants to see the girls in person, Charlotte seconded that motion, and then Nicholas told her they'd need to take a plane to get there. Nice to see they have it all figured out :) Nicholas is also disappointed one is not a "boy" he really wishes they could be brother and sister.
Can't believe they're 9 months already!
