So traveling and having the babies sleep in the same room with us isn't quite the same as being at home. We knew they made noises during the night but the past 2 weekends have shown us more than we realized. I think in large part it is due to them not being comfortable away from their own crib because when we get home they fall asleep so easily and soundly.
Last Sunday Kevin and the girls watched as I completed the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler in DC. The run was a ton of fun and the girls seemed to enjoy the Metro rides to and from the race. There were more fast people that I realized up there. I accidently got sucked into a faster pace that what I had trained at. Turns out all was ok and I was able to hold the faster pace the whole time. Kevin and the girls wandered around the start/finish line area and came down the street to see me pass at mile 5. With the way scheduling and feeding worked out the girls ate and slept on the metro for the most part. Alexandra was so tired after the fitful night of sleep and the soy issue earlier in the week that she was either fussy, grunting or passed out.
This past weekend the girls came up to Lake Anna for the Rumpus in Bumpass race weekend. Lindsey, our babysitter extraordinaire, came up and stayed with us making the work/life balance much more bearable. The girls were oggled over by many and they hammed it up whenever possible to get more smiles. They enjoyed tummy time in the back of my wagon and played with the best rattle ever made! (A mini-gatorade bottle with rocks in it). Peek-a-boo is fast becoming one of their favorite games - their eyes follow you to where you go to hide and when you jump out it is like a whole new thing for them.
Here they are getting ready for Cherry Blossom:
