I can't believe it has been two months since our last post...Let's see, what have we been doing since then...In mid-June we traveled to Green Bay and Wisconsin Dells and then wewent toTexarkana for Clint's brother's wedding on July 3.We've been packing since April and we finally moved out of Bloomington mid-July right around the time Clint landed a job at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio. So after we handed in our keys and our stuff went into storage, we searched for a place to live for a couple of days in Ohio before we headed for Green Bay again since we were temporarily homeless! Luckily we found a place that was move in ready and after spending a long weekend in WI, we stole grandma away again and headed back to Ohio to unpack. After a few days of intense unpacking and eating Ollie's ice cream (a local old fashioned homemade ice cream shop!),we heard the sad news of Clint's grandmommy of 84 years passing away. So we packed up and traveled to Texarkana for the week to attend the funeral. Now we are back home in Delaware for a good long while and Clint is gearing up
for his first semester teaching. He is officially a doctor as you may have heard ;)
So here are some pictures of the past two months of the babies. Lots of changes in that time -crawling, pulling up, clapping, babbling, and of course lots of smiling! They are very happy babies and my aunts in particular will be very happy to hear that July 28 was the last time I nursed the babies multiple times in the middle of the night! They are still waking up at least once - sometimes twice, but we pat them back to sleep. They were not happy about this, but we got through it and now we're waiting for them to sleep uninterrupted for at least 8 hrs! Someday... Anyways, enjoy the pictures and send me an e-mail so I can send you our new address. hilleryneedham@gmail.com
