Easter Weekend

Last weekend was a big one for us. It was not only Piper and Fletch’s first Easter, but also our first trip. I’m happy to report that it went wonderfully, and we had a great time. The entire weekend was perfect, especially Saturday when lots of family and friends stopped by to meet the babies. Thanks so much to everyone who came over. On Sunday, their first Easter, we were relatively low key, and just took a walk around the lake in Wakefield, which was really special since we’ve spent so many years walking around there. The Easter Bunny also visited the babies and gave them lots of candy (which Eric and I enjoyed) as well as a few new books.

A few folks have asked us how traveling with twins was, and I have to say that it was way easier than I envisioned. The key was organization and purchasing seats for the babies. Going through security was tricky but not too bad, and now that we know what to expect, it will make it easier in the future. When the TSA agent saw us they immediately opened up a new line and let us through. Getting on the plane with all our luggage, stroller, car seat, and babies took some trips back and forth to the jetway, but we managed. Once on the plane, things were easy. Eric and I sat in two rows, each with a baby in the window seat, and it so nice to have a little one-on-one time with the babies. The babies slept for most of the flight or just looked out the window.

All in all, we had such a great time, and it was good to get out of our routine for a few days. We’ll definitely make the trip again.

No big baby milestones this week. Everyone was amazed that the babies were feeding themselves, we’re still working on sitting unassisted, they are going to crawl any day, and teething is still underway. I’m pretty sure Piper’s teeth have popped through or are about to.
