Today was pretty uneventful. We took the kids to Carrie's maternal grandmother's place so that one of their many great-aunts would have a chance to say goodbye to them before she left town. We then dropped the kids back off at the grandparents' place so that we could go shopping together and get something to eat - just the two of us, something that we haven't had the opportunity to do for months now.
After we had finished shopping, Carrie and I were standing in line at a local restaurant, and I had gone up towards the front to take a look at a couple of items. On my way back to Carrie, one woman looked at me, then immediately turned to see if she could find Carrie; upon doing so, she practically beamed “I recognized you from the photos!” It turns out that this person had known Carrie ever since she (Carrie) was a teenager. The proud grandmother had either shown pictures to or sent links to the kids' photo gallery to just about everyone in Sevier and Wayne county who would have them, and this woman had recognized me as being “Carrie's husband.”
The night went pretty well. The kids, still recovering from the events of the day before, took a little while to go to sleep, but once they did, it seemed as if Gabe slept for three hours and Ollie close to five; he would have probably slept longer had Carrie not had to wake him up so that she could feed the two of them at the same time.
We are impressed at how quickly it seems that the twins are progressing. Both Gabe and Ollie are smiling back at people, and it seems that Ollie is actually grinning even more and being very conversant; he is also rolling over more and more, and entertaining himself. Gabe, for his part, is reaching out to objects and grabbing hold of them.
The days of dual-feeding are coming to a close, it seems. Gabe is definitely too long for the special U-shaped pillow that Carrie uses to feed the twins, and Ollie is not too far behind.
