... and we were ALL there!! What a busy weekend!! It ended with the entire family spending the evening at the Minnesota Wild vs. Colorado Avalanche game. Mom, Kylie & Neela ended up in the lower level with Mrs. Hambone to try to get on the video board -- and we watched the Wild score a game winning goal in OT! The Wild only need one more win to win their division for the 1st time EVER! We didn't get on the video board, and our bows fell out, but it was fun!!
Grandma and Grandpa Guggisberg were in town this weekend. Mom volunteered at the Mothers' of Multiples garage sale on Saturday (we got more cool toys, of course - a grocery store and a "kitchen" we can use in Mom's kitchen) - so Grandpa and Grandma came to help take us to baby gymnastics :-) They also watched us while Mom & Dad went on a DATE -- out for supper and to the Blue Man Group concert. Mom wasn't too sure about the concert (lots of percussion, and no one standing), but Dad really enjoyed it! Aunt Carol & Uncle Mark helped give us a bath and put us to bed :-)
On Sunday, we went to Key's cafe for breakfast (cheese omelet and pancakes -- and whatever Grandpa and Grandma let us take off their plates!). Grandma took us around the block in the stroller -- but Mom had to follow in the bike to get Neela to stop crying. Then, Grandpa decided to test drive the wagon -- and get the "Neela experience" of not sitting! He tried "bumping" us, and Neela kept "falling" into the wagon. Kylie loved it - Grandma ended up carrying Neela home!
The best part of the weekend... Kylie was sitting upstairs saying "Bye, bye" to Grandpa... then she said, "Pa" and pretty soon "Papa!". Papa almost got Kylie to go down the stairs by herself, too!

Walking in the Wagon
Yesterday, we went for a family walk around the block in our new wagon from Aunt Angie & Uncle Tony! It took a LONG time -- Neela thought she was in a parade. She stood up - IN THE WAGON - and hung on to the sides of the wagon, the umbrella, anything -- and WAVED to all her adoring fans. The walk ended with Neela over Daddy's shoulder, while Kylie enjoyed sitting under the blanket and looking around at everything.
Mom & Dad were very excited - we slept all night! We had a few chats during the night, but we managed to make it all night without anyone getting out of bed :-)

Bubbles!!
Kylie said "Bubble" today! Daddy (and Mommy) took turns blowing bubbles while we ate supper to entertain the girls, and Kylie said "Bubble" twice!! Yay! She also is trying to say "Belly Button" now that she knows where it is!
Neela is content to excel physically -- she's getting closer to walking every day. She stands every chance she gets! She also got her 6th tooth sometime in the last few days -- I have no idea which one!

Easter at Grandma & Grandpa's!
It was our second Easter, and the first Easter with the Estochen family! We travelled to Grandma & Grandpa's through as much snow as is possible in late March. It snowed over 10 inches in our driveway on Friday and Saturday, but Grandpa and Grandma did not have any snow! We will publish our pictures soon - and then everyone can see how much fun we had at Easter!
Our drive home was a LONG ride in our carseats (Grandma G. calls them "Straight Jackets!"). We napped a little, snacked a little, tried to watch a movie, but nothing really worked. When we got home, we got to wiggle -- and Mom & Dad let us stay up late! We didn't eat supper until almost 7:30, and then Grandpa G. got here! He played with us, helped us take a bath, and then he fed Kylie her bottle and rocked Kylie to sleep. This morning, he played with us before Mom took us to daycare. He drew pictures for us just like his Grandpa (our great-great-grandpa G.) drew for him when he was little! We both have very BIG noses - Neela has curly hair, and Kylie has straight hair. He even put our initials on our hands!
When we got home, we got a nice surprise! Uncle David went shopping for us - AGAIN! He (and Aunt Renee) sent us a bunch of cute outfits for summer! There were dresses and shorts and pajamas... Now, as long as our Wild keep beating up on their Sharks, things will be good!
