First shopping tripOkay, I could not contain myself one more minute! I had to take them SOMEWHERE! So Nenie and I loaded them up and went into Cairo yesterday and went to this little drug store in town. It is like the old time drug stores where they have clothes and jewelry and china and all sorts of other stuff. And it is never that crowded, especially during the middle of the day. Below is what they thought of their first trip out into the real world!They had all their Christmas stuff on sale so I bought them a few nice outfits for next year and the year after that. Silly I know but they were really expensive clothes 75% off and I can never pass up a good deal! It was so fun to have people pass by them and exclaim "Oh how adorable" I loved every minute of it! This is a real baby doll! Doesn't she look adorable? I was gonna take them to have their pictures made today and we were trying on outfits last night. But I decided not to be too gung-ho about taking them out AND they got their RSV shot this morning at 9 and we would have been in to much of a rush to get up there in time. And we really wouldn't have had time to shop for James an outfit to wear and I was afraid that they might be cranky from all the shots they have gotten this week. So......maybe next week we will venture out into the world again!

Yeah for you, out and about.

Also, by the way, you don't like anywhere near like you had a baby, let alone twins.

Perfect! Their first trip out and you take them shopping - isn't there something about raising a child up in the way they should go and when they are old they won't depart from it? I do believe that could be applied to shopping habits too. (Hmmmm...maybe my mom is to blame for my love of all things shopping...poor Audrey won't stand a chance, huh? Her first words just might be "Never pay full price!")

Seriously though, I know you must love having Nenie there to help you these first few trips out!

It looks like J and A enjoyed their first trip IMMENSELY! Did Nenie sleep through it, too?

Also, I want a doll like that. Tell Nenie to bring one home for me. Don't think they sell them like that around here.

FINALLY! I am so glad that you are finally getting out with your two little bugers! What a wonderful report from their doctors visit. You are doing such a fabulous job!! And Audrey, she looks EXACTLY like you in the picture of her with her pretty little dress on. James is still looking just like his daddy! Love you guys so much. I hope to hear that you have been out and about some more!

How fun, Amanda, to soak up all those oohs and aahs. It's a wonderful feeling.

I'm glad you are training the kids right! Now you need to work on the GATOR rearing : )
