the girls are exactly 7 months today. and to celebrate, we strapped them into carseats for multiple hours while we drove to charlotte, NC. we are on our way to hilton head, sc for vacation with my family. the trip went much faster than last time when we braved it when they were 5 weeks old (to maximize my maternity leave). we can now feed them in their carseats. don't worry, we stopped a couple of times to get them out of those darned seats to stretch--or whatever babies like to do. they did great. I'm hoping to catch up on blogging, updating pics etc during the next few relaxing days.
