We had such a fantastic Spring that included visiting with about 90% of our blog readership, so we have neglected to post much (or, um, anything). But now these gals are 6 months old, and we want to fill you in on their progress!

These big babies were too busy watching the game to look at the camera.

The girls went on two road trips in May and proved to be excellent travelers.
First, we traveled to Kentucky to visit Grandpa Donnie and meet Great Grandma Eva.

Then we continued on to Illinois to see Uncle Tommy graduate from U of I.

For our second road trip, we headed to North Carolina to see Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Andrew get married in Chapel Hill!

We also had a great 6 month check up where we found out the girls are still healthy and growing great. For those of you into stats, they both weigh 13 pounds 14 ounces and are 26 inches long. The doctor also gave us the go ahead to start solid foods,
so we did. Although we proved what
rookies we are the whole parenting thing, and had to start and then restart.
Now that we are back in Atlanta, we have enjoyed a few hikes when it isn't too hot outside.
First to the East Pallisades trail...

| Eva with Mom |
Then to Lullwater Creek...

| Carolyn (front) and Eva (back) -- notice how they are now facing forward in their stroller! |
 |
| We strolled across this neat suspension bridge... |
 |
| ...but turned around when we saw this sign. |
 |
| Despite our best efforts to avoid this guy, we managed to run into him a little later on in our hike. |
And that's about all we have been up to these days. Now for some
final words from E & C!
Someone should write a story involving an Eva, a lovely garden, and a snake who ruins everything. Also some sort of fruit, once said Eva had taken a liking for solid food. There would be a sign "for your safety, beware of snake", posted by a part-time park & recreation supervisor in the sky. Now that'd be a story people would want to read. I already can see how this would end, with a seven-headed beast that would totes come out of the sea. Pulitzer, here I come.
