Fat Tuesday

The girls turned one month old on Fat Tuesday. We thought the printed car seata with pink flair were entirely appropriate! While they did not celebrate with any hurricanes or hand grenades (for those of you who know what those are) they did have a day full of eating...like any good Catholic. I learned what Fat Tuesday is all about from my good friend Susie Bunch...why they call it "Fat" Tuesday and the pancakes and all.

The girls are developing individualities every day that goes by. Gabrielle surely gets more attention mainly because she requires more attention. She wants to be rocked to sleep and loves to nurse in "sessions." She thinks she is done and then wants more and then she is done and then wants more. Sometimes this charade can go on for about an hour. Olivia is very passive and is happy doing just about anything. She loves vibration and will watch the mobile as long as possible. Our friends Josh and Andrea brought over their 3 week old daughter (she is one week younger than the girls). The difference in sizes is amazing...

Jeff, Angela, Whitley and Maggie arrived tonight from Michigan. So we are in for a fun-filled weekend with lots of COUSINS! We have been prepping Whitley for about 9 months to say cousins and then finally Gabrielle and Olivia. We are so happy they are here and we have already planned something for every moment.
