We did it!

We survived a month!  Hey, around here, that's a victory.  We didn't know what to expect and have heard all the crazy stories about having twins, so we're pleasantly surprised to have everyone still alive and (relatively) normal.  It actually hasn't been as chaotic as I had imagined it would be - busy, yes.  And not easy.  But not out-of-control chaos, either.  Meticulously scheduled chaos.  Here are some pics of Anaya and Audie at one month old, along with an example of how we put everyone to work in order to get things done.

On Wednesday we had an appointment to make these guys official.  Since they were born overseas, they're kind of a big deal ;-)  We had to fill out all the paperwork to get them birth certificates, social security cards and passports.  Yes, passports.  We actually had to try and take their pictures to the specifications required of a passport.  This was not easy.  Here are some that didn't quite work:

But, alas, we got some keepers and they will definitely be able to come to the States with us pretty soon.  We can't wait!

One last thing: Last week we had newborn pictures taken of the babies.  If you're interested, check out www.kerrymillsblog.com.  My super-talented friend shot them and is in the process of uploading the pictures to her website, so you may have to check back to see more pictures.

Take care!
