Visitantes!

We had our first over-night visitors this week who we didn't hold hostage! Meg and Travis came from Greenville and stayed at our casa on their way to DC . . . and we let them get away with only staying one night! We were so excited to be able to introduce them to our sweet boys. It was such fun to visit with them!

After several days of complete melt-downs by everyone (Hatch and me included), we decided the babies needed to take naps . . . so this week, we have been trying to teach the babies to nap. We have had more success some days than others. We try to get them to snooze once in the morning, again in the afternoon, and then take a little nap in the evening. It's quite an experience trying to convince two tiny people that they do, indeed, need to sleep . . . all in all, they are very sweet babies who (like their parents) need their rest!

Hudson has started giggling all of the time! When he is not being very serious, he is quite the charmer with his smile! Will is smiling and talking up a storm, and he loves grabbing things with his hands! (We think this is great that he can see well enough to focus on things dangling down and grasp them!)

We also took Will to the doctor this week, and they are pleased with how his eye looks--each day the hemangioma decreases in size! We are so grateful for that. Please continue to pray for his eye to reduce in size and for God to heal it completely!

We still have the babies sleeping in the same crib at night. Hatch walked in the other night after they'd been asleep for a while, and he saw them snuggling . . . we love it!


We did a little photo shoot the other day and here are some of their sweet pictures:

I really can't stand how awesome I think your boys are. Each picture brings such great joy to my heart! I am SO happy to hear about Will's eye--we have been praying for him. I owe you a phone call..but hoping we might see you in person tomorrow. Love you!

Such an answer to prayer about Will's eye! And such handsome, handsome little guys, love their matching outfits.

I want to meet these little ones so badly!!! They are completely adorable...little Hudson and Lucy can sit together and take up a whole chair...those little eaters. Lucy is starting to want to feed herself all the time...refusing to breast feed because it's not fast enough I think. Matthew and Will can have a two hour conversation :)
