5.6 on the Richter scale...Welcome to California

Today was an exciting day. First on the agenda was a visit from Uncle Hsin and Aunty Sonya. They got also a visit from Eric and Lauren. The twins were happy to see everyone :)

Later the girls, Emi, and I took a walk with Aunty Liz and Lauren around the block. I recently bought a single stroller/pram off of craigslist because I'm lazy to take the huge twin stroller out of my minivan. Anyone with twins will know my pain to get the babies into the car seats and drag that heavy stroller out of a car just to get anywhere. Instead I opted to put one baby in the bjorn and have the other in the pram. This is just to take some afternoon walks around the neighborhood, so we can get some fresh air, walk the dog, and lose some of that baby fat!

Also the girls had their first earthquake experience tonight at 8:04 p.m. Like always the duration was in seconds, but it was still scary!!! The house shook like someone obese was jumping up and down upstairs (that's my colorful description of the event). Hannah cried out and Sophie was sound asleep. Emi barked after the fact and Kiki was no where in sight. Had it been a worse earthquake I think Der and I would be like deer in headlights because we both just sat there wondering if it was an earthquake or a big truck driving by.

The girls are going through a spitting and coughing phase. We are going to the doctor tomorrow to see if everything is okay. Also it's their 2 month appointment, so I best be ready for the shots. I'm feeling a lot of anxiety as it hurts me more to see them in pain. Every time both babies cry out to eat and I have to finish one of them at a time, it makes me so sad to watch the left out baby cry. It's heartbreaking to watch the little tears run down their precious faces.
