Help[Games] Re: Making a Family - Step 2
in reply to a message by Elle
Hey Everyone!
It's so good to hear from you all again. Marcus and I are doing well, though we're tired, and the kids are fantastic as usual.
Malcolm Robert Morgan aka "Mack" is loving preschool. He's become quite the little sports star He desperately wants a soccer ball and hockey skates. They have a mini-program for the kids at his school, and he will sit and watch them all day if he could. He's still the youngest for the age level though, and we'd like to wait another year but don't be suprised if you're tripped by a tiny ball soon. Marc is also showing Mack all about hockey. My little boy it seems is hooked. Skating season is almost here and we've decided to give him lessons and skates, when they'll fit him for more than a week. he's already been out with Dad twice and it took almost three days for him to lose the grin.
And I'm guessing you all want to hear about the babies (Don't worry I'll send photos soon Mom). Bronwen Elizabeth Anne and Gwendolen Anna Blythe were born on the 9th of October. "Bron" born first and weighed in at 6lbs 5 ounces and measured 17 inches. "Gwen" was born 2 hours later and weighed in at 6lbs 3 ounces and measured 16.5 inches. They've been home almost two months now, and Marcus and I are both tired but happy. Mack is completely floored. He's fascinated by the girls, and won't let his cousins near them. It's funny to watch though I know our neices would disagree.
The girls themselves are a joy. Bron is already proving to be the dramatic sort, she'll cry and cry until her Daddy finds her and then all is right with the world. Gwen is the happy-go-lucky of the duo and smiles all the time. She's rarely fussy or crankyand will sleep for hours on Daddy without making a noise. Marc is wrapped around their tiny fingers.
Seamus, Fionn, Max and Jock (the dogs) take everything in stride as usual, Max and Fionn are on our heels while Seamus watches the twins and runs to me when someone cries. Jock on the other hand has taken to sleeping on Mack's bed (Which Mack loves). Meliken and Clive (the cats) have taken the den and my office as their new sanctuary, and I find them here most days when one isn't on my lap.
Marcus keeps busy with the barn and the vet practice while I'm on leave. Mack is still trying to get me to put the girls on Toby (his pony) and we've had to tell him to wait until they can sit up first. He just scrunches up his face, gives up and grins and marches off to get Toby from the pasture with his dad. My boy is fearless, and half the time it terrifies me. Have I mentioned we're in heaven?
It's about time for me to take the girls outside for a brisk (if not freezing) trip to preschool, then back to the barn or tackroom in the twins' case and it's Daddy's time with his girls while I take Mack, Toby, and Jeeves (my horse) for a good ride. Later Marc and I will talk about the day and the kids and our lives while planning the next day. We hope you'll all come to our zoo/menagerie/home soon. We'd all love to see you.
With much Love,
Charlotte, Marc, Mack, Bron & Gwen
and the creatures too...
