Onesies and Twosies

I was already excited when plans came together for me to head over the Fox Cities area to see my friends' new twins. I was even more excited when College Boy decided to go with me. Hubby was golfing so it was a long overdue mom-son day.

Angelo and Robyn's blessings arrived 2 months ago. Technically, since they had to join our world 6 weeks early, they are just over the size of newborns now with the boy, Ettore (et-or-ray) at 10+ pounds and little Sophia now at 8.

Since they were so premature, there were some health issues, as expected. Sophia is home from the hospital so we got to see her first.

Tried to take a selfie with Sophia and she's eyeing me like "who's the crazy lady stealing my spotlight?" She's an adorable little diva. Ha. So sweet to feed and hold!

Went to the hospital to meet the other half. Mr. Double Chin managed a smirk when Mommy finally got to hold him after his other guests. He has a feeding tube but other health issues are improving. Hopefully he'll get to go home soon so the family can be under one roof!

Our friends and former Iola co-workers Tom and Sharon visited at the same time. I made sure I brought my traditional Iola work treat in the "Magic Blue Pan."

Yup. My usual Hornet's Nest Cake (those butterscotchy treats). It was a hit.

I had to be sure I got a picture of Carter with the guys he idolized as a youngster. Loves Angelo and his classic cars and, well Tom (aka T-Bar) is just plain cool. He has known them since the top of his head only reached their waists, and now he is taller than them both! See, when we say kids grow up too fast, we have proof!

On the way home, Carter and I stopped at the mall in Appleton to look around. He was looking for deals. I think we went into every store that had clothes or shoes. And he found some deals. Yay! I may or may not have found some, too. But let's just focus on College Boy.

It sincerely was a great day. Had good conversations with MY baby on the way there and back with some bonding time with other babies in between.
