Shots etc.

I hate shots, not for myself, but for the girls. They got their 6 month inoculations on Tuesday and not only did they not enjoy the experience (obviously) but they have been a bit sick the past few days...today was better but I don't like shots. I also don't know why I do it seeing as I won't for Rusty (due to all the stuff I've read and experiences I've had with inoculations). I don't know if I have a choice for Lucy though. Sigh.
The girls are both doing well and getting big. Kate is 16lbs 3 oz and Lucy is 14lbs 15oz. Only 1lb and 4 oz apart now. She's SLOWLY catching up. They are both 26 inches long (well Kate is 1cm longer).
I don't think I updated this after Lucy's last echo cardiogram and ECG. She is doing great. She is still at "50%" which is what she was after she stabilized after her angioplasty 4 months ago. Soo that means she's doing great. She doesn't have to go back for 6 months now. Yay!
They make me laugh every day. I think they do it on purpose. They are pretty funny with a somewhat foolish sense of humour, which is not surprising with Chris and I as parents. It's fun.
Chris has been away most of this week for fieldwork, so it's been the most I've been alone with the girls but I haven't really been alone all week as Chris' parents and sister came over on Tuesday and we went to visit them today.
I'm sure there is more to update but I can't think right now.
Oh, those interested in wine. Two wines that are very yummy: Garry Oaks Winery-Labyrinth (Saltspring Island) and Bonapart Bend Winery-Black Currant Wine (Cache Creek).

Catan!!

A month or so ago Chris and I purchased the game "Settlers of Catan" after hearing good reviews from both of my brothers. When we bought it we saw different expansion packs available and figured we'd eventually buy them if we liked the game. Well, after several hours straight of game playing (after the initial purchase) then daily playing as long as people would play with us we decided we definitely wanted the expansion games. So, Today was the day. We bought the first expansion game "Seafarers of Catan". We quite like it. It certainly adds a new dimension to the game!! We were also suckers and got the computer version of the game. I like that I can play a short game (when I get the chance) and pause it often (which I have to do when looking after the twins on my own!) Anyway, just wanted to comment on our new fun entertainment.
