The grandparents have all gone home, so we thought they’d appreciate a check-in with their Lauren…
Eyes!
Cheeks!
Legs!

Hump day hit us hard this week, so we’re crashing early – a couple quick pics of our girls in dream land. Sweet dreams!
Sweet dreams…
… little girls…

And by hold my sister, I mean “watch Dora”…
Go away we're watching Dora.
Go away we're watching Dora.
Go away we're watching Dora.

Grandma Gail made me butterfly wings. They are pink and I love them!
Notice anything different about me?
Yep, I have wings. Pink ones!
See!
I love them so much!

Hi, I’m Lauren. I know my Daddy has been keeping you up-to-date with all my adventures, but I wanted to check in myself tonight. There’s something we need to talk about. I’m sure Daddy has shown you all the cute pictures of me being held by my Mommy and especially my sister and grandparents. But I have a warning for all the other babies out there … THEY DON’T ALWAYS HOLD YOU! It’s the truth. Three weeks in and all of a sudden they are plopping me down on my belly. And let me tell you – not fun. At all.
Hey, where are you going? What am I doing down here?
Man, it is hard to get anywhere without someone carrying you...
Aww, face plant.
That didn't feel good.
Seriously, this is the worst. SOMEONE HOLD ME!
Now this is more like it...

Okay, okay, I know some of you (mainly those related to us) have been playing the “do Maile and Lauren look alike or different parlor game” – so here are two shots to help you decide…
Maile at 10 days
Lauren at 10 days
What do you think?

Life is good.

The first week or so, Maile was clearly in love with her little sister, but she didn’t quite know what to do with her. She liked to hug her and hold her a bit and was always giving her kisses, but interestingly, she didn’t talk to her a lot. She was very shy around her. We encouraged her to talk to Lauren and tell her what she was doing and about her day, etc. This week she really started to do it – as the video below demonstrates. I think we’ve now created a monster 😉
Maile is getting good at holding her little sister...

Today was a special day. Yes, it was Inauguration Day and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday – but on a more personal note, it was the first time in quite some time that both sets of grandparents were together with us. With one set of grandparents in Hawaii, the other set in Boston and us in San Francisco, it is not too often we all get together. We like to space things out so one set will visit during one of Maile’s holidays from school and the other set will visit during another, etc. Today was the one day they were overlapping for this visit – with Grandma and Papa Boston heading home tomorrow and Grandma and Papa Hawaii arriving to help out for another couple weeks as I head back to work.
Maile was in heaven with all the attention! And Lauren had plenty of welcoming arms to cradle and hold her throughout the day. The weather cooperated as well, so we snuck outside to take some pictures of the whole family together…
Maile, Lauren and BOTH sets of grandparents
Grandma Gail and her (San Francisco) girls...
Grandma Jill and her girls...
Papa Mike jumped in there too 🙂
Family Picture: Mommy, Daddy, Maile (3.5) and Lauren (2 weeks)
Can’t thank both sets of grandparents enough for all the love and support they’ve provided as we’ve settled in with Lauren!

It’s been two weeks since Lauren and I became sisters. So two weeks since the best thing ever happened! Daddy and Mommy have been taking lots of pictures (of course) – here are some of my favorites…
I taught Lauren how to do eskimo kisses
Daddy and I started a comic book - Daddy's is on the left and my version is on the right
Lauren's head is tilted a lot, so I try to line myself up to make the pictures better...
What? She asked me to teach her how to suck her thumb!
I love you Lauren
Maile, I love you too - please hold me always!
