This photo was taken on St. Patrick's Day. To avoid getting pinched, the girls asked if they could wear their little green onesies!

Both girls are doing great! Margaret is just shy of 9 pounds and Kathryn is right behind her at 8 pounds 9 ounces! They are sleeping about 3 or 4 hours at a time and during their awake time, they are much more alert, looking around and have started to recognize both parents. We get a social smile every now and then!

Grandma Shannon left a couple of weeks ago and they miss her terribly. Grandma Quinn has been over several days and nights and they are having fun with her! Uncle Joe Shannon and his family came and visited last week for a day or two and the girls are looking forward to seeing their Aunt Marie who is coming at the end of the month. We took the girls out for their first walk the other day and they seemed to enjoy it. It is still too cold here to walk very far but as soon as it warms up, we will start to take them out on a stroll daily.

Thank you to everyone for you love, support and generousity. It is hard to believe that these are the same babies and they could not have done all that they have without all of you.

Love,
