life with two

the first month with two kids went better than expected. lucy pretty much sleeps and eats and we had a lot of help from family so we were still able to get out quite a bit. grandma shafer stayed with us awhile and took william on endless walks and bike rides.

grandma shafer also accompanied us to filoli gardens where we found williams bench again.

another warm day we went to lemos farm in half moon bay. william loved the train ride and pumpkin hunting.

he didn't initially love his first pony ride, but slowly warmed up to it. he kept a death grip on the saddle the whole time.

lucy has also received a lot of love. it took a lot of encouragement to get william to hold her, not so with cousin madelyn, she's a pro.

lucy received her first bath. she didn't love it, but has warmed up to them recently.

and since we've had the camera out a lot these days william has been perfecting his 'cheese' smile.

i think we just may survive as a family of four.
