Den Of The Danimal

The girls are doing well. They’re still getting more and more mobile, but not quite crawling yet. Both have their two lower front teeth in now, and Elizabeth has one upper front tooth poking through as well.

We have managed to keep them healthy this whole time (even though Janet and I have each been sick at one point or another), and we’re very [...]
