Are they Identical?

Sorry that we haven't been posting much the last few weeks. We have been very busy with both our sweet girls, and haven't had much time to blog. But I (Austin) wanted to take a few minutes to let you know how Grace and Kate were doing.

Overall both Grace and Kate are doing great! They are nearly double their birth weight (around 8 pounds now)! They are very good eaters! They don't always sleep through the night, but we are getting on a better schedule with them. Typically they eat around every 3 hours and generally sleep in between.

Car rides have definitely been the best trick we have found to get the girls to sleep when they are fussy. But we can't just drive down the street; they need a good 15-20 minute ride to really get them to sleep.

One of the most common questions we get when new people meet them is "Are they identical?" The answer we give is that while we aren't sure, neither Sara or I can tell them apart. Both girls look so similar that the only real way we can tell them apart is that Grace has her toes painted red. In addition to this, however, we have started to notice some differences in their personalities. Grace is becoming more of the drama queen and fusses with the slightest little thing. Kate prides herself is always giving Sara and myself goofy facial expressions. We are trying to capture some of these expression with a camera, and will soon post pictures to give you a glimpse of her funny faces.

We will be back later this week with some more updates. Thanks for your continued prayer and support of our beautiful girls!
