Daddy's HOME!!!!!

We couldn't be happier to have Scott back with us--he returned from Poland Thursday night. Life is good. The girls were on cloud nine all weekend, and I know it's because their number one guy is back home where he belongs. Scott and I went and looked in on the girls the night he returned. Julia had zero interest in waking up to see her dad, but man, I wish you could have seen the smile on Kate's face when she sat up and saw her daddy in her room--it was absolutely beatific (and heart-melting, of course). As soon as she Scott, she reached for him and smiled a smile that could melt icecaps. Another one of those moments I wish I could have captured on film.

We had a great weekend with them--there were numerous trips to playgrounds and parks, although we were disappointed to see that the playground on our street is currently closed for construction. We took the girls to lunch on Saturday, and they behaved like perfect little ladies. Scott was one proud papa, and it was surprising to see how well-mannered they were--no tantrums, and minimal incidents of throwing their food on the floor.

Julia's language acquisition seems to really be taking off--she found some new words this weekend, including "row row". Bamma, aka, Scott's mom, taught the girls one of their favorite games--which involves hand-holding while sitting, and singing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat." while moving back and forth. We hadn't played that one in a while, and Scott asked the girls if they wanted to do "Row, Row" this weekend. Both girls went nuts, and Scott was trying to do it with both of them at the same time. Julia did NOT want to share Daddy's hands with her sister, and repeatedly pushed Kate's hands away.

We have a playdate this morning--with another set of twin girls, Haley and Taylor. Their mom, Diann, and I met via our twins' club, and then again at pre-preschool. I'm really excited about it--I'll be back later to let everyone know how it goes!

Heart hug!
