I’ve been out of the blog-o-sphere, but with good reason. We just wrapped up a week of pure joy; the grandtwins finally made it down here to visit. Their visit neither began nor ended auspiciously, what with the THREE HOUR delay of their flights, both coming and going. Breeze Airline appears to be anything but. I’m beginning to wonder if the company owns more than one plane. Can you imagine a three hour delay while traveling with four-year-old twins? But somehow everyone soldiered on and the time here with us was magical.
The girls appear to exist on nothing but pasta and fruit (consumed during the visit: 2 cantaloupes, 3 clementines, three boxes of strawberries, 2 mangoes, 2 peaches, 2 packs of blackberries, 1 of blueberries, 2 cups of honeydew & watermelon, and grapes), but they’re healthy and happy, so who cares?
And to truly amaze you – the TV was never turned on once for the entire visit. We read books, colored, and made necklaces, but the majority of time not spent at the pool, beach, or touring was taken up with elaborate imaginary scenarios the girls played with each other.
The first four years were an uphill climb for their mom and dad, but I think they’re hitting the sweet spot now. Next goal? For everyone to sleep through the night.
