Greetings from Binghamton and More

Lots of new pictures below.
Apparantly my post from a couple weeks ago never went live but here it is anyway:

We have been in Binghamton since Friday, June 27th and have been having a good time introducing the girls to everyone. We've had a lot of visitors over at my parents house which has been nice having lots of hands to hold the babies. We've gone for a few walks around town and have spent some time over at 8 Duane (Dennis' parents house) and July 4th up at our cottage on White Birch Lake. The girls received a lot of attention and got to be held most of the day by all their relatives. There was a huge fireworks display from all of the cottages on the lake and the girls slept through the whole thing so I think it is safe to say that they are sound sleepers.

It is nice having so many people offering to help out and this has allowed Dennis and I some time to get out of the house and go out to dinner, play some tennis, golf (Dennis), etc. Thank you to everyone who helped us out while we were in town: our families of course, Heather Burns and Nancy, Beth Coulson, Jan Muelbauer, Claire and Bob Donahue, Molly and Mary Clare Kane, Eileen Fitzgerald, The Ostanecks, Midge Durgin, Michelle O'Loughlin, Marlene West. I know we had a lot of other offers from people to help so we'll have to find more things to do to take you up on them!

The girls are still doing so well and are just the sweetest little things. They are sleeping and eating well (outside of Madeline's spitting up) and becoming much more alert. They are rarely fussy and are smiling more now too. Their necks are also becoming more sturdy and they are filling out more so it is nice to see some cheeks and rolls on their bottom half rather then their former chicken legs.

Dennis took the week off from work and just went back today (Sunday). The girls and I are staying here all week because we have a wedding next weekend for Mickey Reyen. So, Dennis is going to come back on Friday and then we'll all be heading back home to Hoboken on Sunday, July 13th. Dennis is bummed to have his vacation be over and to be away from us all week but also looking forward to catching up on some sleep. For anyone reading this from Binghamton, feel free to stop by 3 Millard to visit.

It was great to see so many friends and family while we were in Binghamton. Thanks to Sheila and Amy O'Donnell, Chrissy, and Anne Burns Thomas who all made the trip to Binghamton to meet the girls and hang out with us. We have been back in Hoboken for over a week now and the weather has been very hot! It's a good thing we have central air. My mom and I have taken the girls to the pool that my sister belongs to a couple of times which is really nice for us all to get some fresh air. We usually walk with them in the stroller to the pool which is a nice mile long walk. There is a great farmer's market in Hoboken on Tuesdays so last week I stocked up and made dinner every night. I don't know how I found the time, but it was all quick summer meals and I felt inspired. I loved having home cooked meals. This week, not so much insiration but hoping to get back on track. Speaking of home cooked meals, I have to mention the unbelievable meal that Molly Kane cooked for us while we were staying at my parents house in Binghamton. She brought over a 4 course dinner of grilled chicken with a melon salsa, asparagus, homemade bread, potatoes, and rasberry chocolate cupcakes and wine. It was so good and so nice of her and this is a woman who has 7 kids!

We had a dr.'s appt. last Thursday and the girls are progressing well. They are all about 20" length and here are their latest weights:
Molly: 8lb, 13 oz.

Tess: 8lb, 2 oz.

Madeline: 7lb, 9oz.

Lots of pictures to share:
