The Hatter family

Our out of town weekend went well...all thing considered! We got to Austin early Saturday, had us some Plucker's in the fancy new on campus location, and walked around a little on the drag while a he/she in one of the shops gave me some parenting advice. We enjoyed the Austin vibe (code for: smell of pot mixed with B.O.) and tried to keep the babies out of the sun....we checked into our hotel and headed to the field for the game. The sun was going down for the first couple of innings, so we were a little sweaty, but it was manageable. Besides being complemented on our "adorable twin boys" (Hayden didn't have her hair bow) we had a really good time! Shawn got the little portable high chair seat out of the car, so Cale watched the game from his own little seat, while he ate goldfish and enjoyed the scenery. Hayden got passed around, and the high light of their night was when Mimi shared her Dippin' Dots with them....they LOVED them. Hayden finally fell asleep at the game, but Cale was cranky and sleepy so we left....they didn't lay down until ten at our hotel, and Shawn and I hid in the bathroom and talked for a while so that they would go to sleep instead of looking at us, wondering why we weren't picking them up. They slept really well away from home...which is awesome because you always worry your kid is going to be the rigid one who has to be in their own bed to sleep. They were so much fun, and we really enjoyed seeing our family...especially Casey, who has a tiny little baby bump! The babies will have another little cousin to play with pretty soon....a baby girl! We are so excited....

Shawn and I are continually amazed at how flexible our babies are...where they get that trait I have NO idea....They just love being taken anywhere, as long as they are being loved on. I am really hoping this attitude lasts....
