Bob and I bought little cross necklaces for the babies when we were at the Vatican gift shop in Rome earlier this year. We had hoped they could wear them on the day they were baptized - and they did! Here Lauren models hers as I held her. Isn't she precious?!

We all arrived at the beautiful church for the 11:30 AM baptism service.

I have an old shirt of Troy's on over my outfit in the event of unexpected spit-up on my shoulder.

This was the end of Day 2 - Saturday, September 24, 2005.

Tomorrow is Baptism Day, Sunday, September 25, 2005

Trent, Amy, Troy, Connie, Bob and I had Tapas, Spanish cuisine, for dinner. Delicious!

Grandma Marti and baby Lauren.

Patient little Lexi, taking it all in.

Lauren (below) and Justine (at right)

These photos require an explanation: Connie and Betty were sorting baby shower gifts and we all wanted the babies to try on these darling lavendar fleese pants, a part of a set of jacket and hat with ears - We don't have a picture of the hat with ears because the tag was on it and ruined the shot. This outfit was returned because the size wasn't right for each baby. The store was out of them, so exchanges couldn't be made. We were bummed!

This was the end of Day 1 - Friday, September 23, 2005.

Dinner at Pat's Pizza: Trent, Amy Stephanie and Todd

Bob, Connie, Betty and Troy are at Starbuck's too!

Justine and Lauren go to Starbuck's (Marti's in the background with her latte).

Justine (left) and Lauren (above) are ready to travel.

Justine and Grandpa Bob: Bob had not seen the twins since July 5, 2005 when they were both still in the hospital. Justine was discharged on July 11 and Lauren went home on July 29.

Little Lexi is such a great doggie! She's been groomed and although they gave her more of a crew cut on top of her head this time, she's still adorable!

Justine (left) and Lauren, about a 3 lb. difference, but who's counting?

Lauren Weighs 8 lbs. 3 oz.

Justine Weighs 11 lbs. 4 oz.

Grandma Marti (me) at almost 61, Justine at 4 1/2 months, Grandpa Bob at almost 61 and Lauren at 4 1/2 months: Although the babies were born on May 16, they should have been born on July 31, so technically they aren't 4 1/2 months, they are only 2 months old.
