Twins on tour - part 1

Now that Riley and Colter have had their shots, we're heading out to visit all the people who were hoping and praying for them along with Jeff and I.
Our first stop on the tour was the oncology clinic I worked at for five years before they arrived. I was very fortunate to work with a wonderful group of doctors and the best nurses ever. They were so supportive during all our attempts to get pregnant. All the waiting made it all the more amazing to introduce the twins this past Tuesday.
Here is Riley with a bunch of the nurses and administrative staff.

Colter got a grand tour of the office with Beth and Twanya.

Riley finally opened her eyes for Tommy and Colter got to snuggle with Kathy for quite a while!

It was an adventure to get there, but totally worth it. I am learning to prepare as much as possible the night before. For example, it's not a good idea to pick out outfits the morning of a trip that still need to be washed. If you do, the chances are high that the washer will fail to complete the last spin cycle, the dryer won't be able to handle the soggy clothes, and a baby (Colter) will spit up all over his matching outfit as you are putting him in his car seat. Riley was fussing up a storm at the same time of course. Notice that Colter wore his outfit anyway (after much dabbing). Isn't it sad when matching is more important than cleanliness? I never thought I'd do that, but...
