First time away

Besides running errands when mom and dad Sakai were here or when my parents were here, I've never really had anyone watch the babies out of our house until today. Hsin and Sonya were nice enough to watch the babies while I went to my dental appointment. On top of watching them (which took a while since I had not only a cleaning, but several fillings done), they were jet-lagged as well, so I am very, very thankful!!! Thank you so much!

The babies were great this morning and I kept a watchful eye out on Hannah. According to Hsin (whom we, meaning Der and I, got updates via IM and phone call) and Sonya the girls did good. Mommy and daddy, on the other hand, hahahaha just kidding we knew they were in good hands. I did miss the babies terribly and got a taste of what I might feel when I go back to work.

Sophie was passed out when I got to Hsin and Sonya's place and Hannah shortly followed, so I thought the ride home would be good. It has been so long since I was commuting during "pau hana time" (after work hours for you mainlanders) that I forgot how bad traffic really was. I knew it was gonna be bad, but I didn't think it would be that bad. Either way I prepared myself psychologically prior to our journey home for some major crying since I knew the stop and go motion was not gonna help in our ride home. It took us roughly about an hour and then some to get home and of course someone had to fuss to let me know that I took too long to get home. Yup, Sophie was the culprit and of course I tried my darnedest to get home quickly and safely and once I got home she passed out again, bah! You can bet that Emi was really happy to see me as she is the great little doggy that could hold her potty time in.

So after a busy day of running around, the girls did well or so I thought since the night wasn't over yet. I managed to pass out after dinner and some quality play time with the girls. Der was not so lucky, while I was napping he fed Hannah and of course she managed to throw up on him. Somehow daddy is almost always the "lucky one" for some nice warm milk regergitation. Poor daddy!

Sophie has been really interactive lately and here she makes mommy and daddy proud as she grabs the dangling toys to produce the music on the bouncy! We're now ready to introduce some toys to the girls.

Of course after I saw Sophie I had to try Hannah out and well she didn't quite know what to do, so I helped her out. She's better at swatting and kicking.

Hannah still passed out after the ride home from Hsin and Sonya's.
