Meeting the Seraphine Twins
Chrissy and I packed Aiden into the car today for the long drive to Chip and Karen’s house. It was about time to introduce Aiden to the Seraphine twins. The drive wasn’t that bad, just over an hour, which is much better than the last time we went out there. At any rate, it was nice to get out of the house with the boy. Aiden slept the whole way there, and didn’t fuss too much while we were there either.
The promise of grilled meat was too much to turn down. Chip offered to make his world-famous (at least in his little world) “Ugly Pico de Gallo” and green chili burgers. It’s been too cold outside to grill for a while, but Chip just hooked a gas line up to his new deck and wasn’t about to take “cold” for an answer. Unfortunately, the burgers flopped — “crumbled” would be a better description. This is why I don’t grill burgers; I grill steaks. They don’t fall apart and tumble into the flames when you cook them outside. But the pico was awesome.
The twins are getting much bigger. Ryan is up to 17 pounds now. My new “daddy arms” aren’t quite up to the strain of holding a 17-pounder for long. I’m struggling to hold Aiden up for long at ten pounds. Elena Max smiles a lot, and it really brings out her big, blue eyes. She also has a mean scowl, which does nothing for her eyes, but luckily we didn’t see it very much. Once again, everybody loves Aiden, and he got to know everybody. He even slept all the way home.
