'Tis the Season to be Learning

There’s nothing like a good crash course in babies! Kristen and Darryl and their twins arrived for Christmas on Friday and we’ve been trying our best to absorb all their double wisdom ever since. From diapers to diaper rash, burping the babies to putting them on their bellies, we’re learning fast! Kiara even rolled over on her own for the first time yesterday and caused quite the standing ovation! They are very good little babies and it is wonderful to finally be deserving of our aunt and uncle status, helping out their very tired but masterful parents.

There are still feet of snow on the ground and it’s feeling a lot like Christmas. At our annual carol party, all eyes and hands were on my ever bulging bump (well to me and Steve) and a special moment came during Silent Night when Mummy and I locked eyes at “round yon virgin mother and child’. Ah, the circle of life. Christmas is a wonderful time to be sharing this miraculous joy and I can hardly wait for next year when we have a baby of our own in our arms. For now, I am eating tons, feeling wonderful and we are too happy for words. It is so good to be back in Boston, home for the holidays.
