We love naps. Lots of naps.
Matter of fact, we think everyone should take a nap everyday. The world would certainly be a kinder, gentler place.

Hi Everyone!
I thought since I’m slowly starting to feel more like myself after this crazy week and half that I would write something on this blog. Thank you so much for all your support and your interest in these two little miracles that we’ve welcomed into our lives. It has been so nice to know that so many people are thinking about us and sending nice thoughts. I had no idea how much of a life of its own this blog would take on, but I’m so glad Graham started it since it’s helped us communicate with you all.
We are adjusting nicely to being back at home- thank goodness for my mom- she’s been a lifesaver helping to clean, cook, do laundry, change diapers and generally take care of Graham and I as we adjust to life with two little people. Since I had a c-section, pre-eclampsia after I delivered and now an infected c-section wound I haven’t been too mobile, so Grandma Dilly and Graham have taken on full responsibility of anything that requires me to move too much. Graham is a natural with the babes and I feel so lucky to be going through this with him.
Speaking of Graham, Marin is a spitting image of him – we are wondering if she’ll have his loud laugh and boisterous personality. We haven’t figured out yet who Camden looks like, but she looks a little like her cousin Claire.
The babies are doing great- each up to 6 lbs which is exciting- they are both eating and sleeping really well which has made things easier. Marin especially likes to sleep so we often have to go through quite a routine to wake her up to eat. Grandma Dilly has become a pro with her using all the “wake up” techniques. Graham and I both can’t believe that they’ll be two weeks old on Thursday- before we know it, they’ll be going off to college!
Anyway thanks again for all your thoughts and support. We can’t wait to introduce you to our little bundles!
Love Kirsten

There is an unsung hero helping us manage through the diapers, the burp clothes, and the feedings. Dilys has been here since we arrived home from MGH and has been invaluable in us keeping our sanity.
Grandma Dilly provides so much more than an extra set of hands. She is there to reassure Kirsten when one of the munchkins’ fusses. She is there to encourage Kirsten to nap. She is there to help with the bottles. And she is there to make sure that K and I are well fed. (Chicken Parm Feast last night!)

An Expert in Multi-Tasking
Of course, she has a little experience managing two little peanuts.

Double Barrel
A heartfelt thanks from all five of us (including Wrigley). We are so thankful that you are here.

Night shift.
The house is quiet. The only souls stirring are G&M&C.
We check to see what’s on the tube:
Palladia Line Up for the next couple hours: Pearl Jam Storytellers, Bon Jovi Live, Dave Matthews Live, U2 Live, and Coldplay Live.
Girls, get your pens out. Time to take notes.
Tonights lesson: Rockin’ Out!!! (while not waking up Mom & Grandma Dilly.)
