The Bend


We have had a very busy week.  Grammy came for a visit last Wednesday until today and we went to South Bend for the weekend for my Arkie 11 year reunion.  The babies travelled really well except for what turned out to be a 5 hour car ride from Chicago to South Bend Friday evening.  That car ride was a little tense with me trying to change diapers, feed babies, and simultaneously navigate our way through traffic from the backseat with the help of the Iphone.  The navigation was the ball that was dropped and bumper to bumper traffic never helps.  We had a great weekend visiting old friends and meeting their beautiful babies.  It always helps when the Irish win the football game and the sun shines in the Bend, but I think I would have had a great time regardless.  I realized how few pictures I took, a casualty of twins.  Although almost everyone had a turn holding Iman and Tayeb, so I should have had a free hand to take plenty of photos, but I chose to stuff my face instead.  I also should have taken pictures of the crazy house we rented, it had and indoor and outdoor pool, a jacuzzi as well as an indoor basketball court.  It was a very strange layout but a perfect rental for us.  There were 14 adults and 6 kids and it didn't feel at all crowded.

  On Thursday we went for another photo shoot with grammy and got some great pictures, but we only have hard copies and their website has the images copy protected.  Last night Grammy had a big laugh playing dress up with Iman, and although she looks happy in this picture from today, we were all very sad to see Grammy go after such a short visit.  We look forward to Christmas.

Mom just loves corny dress-up moments, doesn't she? You should have seen when they put a bow on Nikki's head an a sucker in her mouth. The family had big laughs.
