so far *short update below*

Yesterday(thurs) we had some paperwork and stuff to do. We had just returned back to the hotel with the babies at around 6 the previous evening so to have to turn around and trundle the babies off early the next morning was hard. these babies have been through so much in the past few days. On wednesday early in the morning they had to ride away from everything they knew, in a bus for 6 hours. They were handed over to these funny looking, sounding and smelling people who just don't do things the way they are used to. it really is amazing how well they are handling this enormus change.

MC seems very calm and I know that is part of her coping mechanism. she has given us a few glimpses of her personality, but for the most part she has been very reserved. she has been sleeping a lot. she is very watchful and has only cried like twice for 3 seconds, much less than me! yesterday she was a little sturdier and we had some fun watching her bounce on her belly, doing the baby airplane on the bed. some of the girls in our group are a bit older and as you can imagine this transition has been most difficult for them, but i think overall it is better that most of us expected.

her smiles come the most easily for Lee. he can get her to really grin. today we all have a dr's appt. from what I understand it is a mere formality, a step required for the paperwork. just a weigh in and check off kind of deal. we also might go to a huge 9 story department store.

I miss the kids so much but i really love this special time we are having to get to know MC and for her to get to know us.

ADDED: I just saw all of your comments at drop shots. thank you thank you thank you. it is amazing that we can share this around the world and especially to share it with you. To my TT friends, N54 is a website I cannot access from here(maybe twin moms are dangerous)I just want y'all to know I am thinking of you too. we will have some more video and pictures soon. my techincal secretary and my favorite model are both sawing logs right now.
