Pictures of the twins I promised

The prince and princess in their royal thrones:

Nicky's new favorite face:
Don't these highchairs look regal? The baby stuff at the Sofitel looked cool, but it wasn't very practical. The highchairs were huge and they didn't have safety belts! We made it through unscathed, though we had a few close calls.

The prince and princess's royal subjects:

The twins were absolutely adored in Luxor. :)

Catie having a little too much fun in the bathroom while Mommy gets ready:

I took Nick to get his hearing checked on Monday, and everything seems to be okay, but he has fluid in his right ear again. He seems to have what they call "glue ear," meaning that he has some sticky, waxy fluid just sitting in his ear all the time. We went back to the pediatrician today, and she prescribed some more medicine and we have an appointment to go back again next Thursday. She may need to refer us to another ENT to get tubes put in. Please keep him in your prayers. He's been a lot more responsive the last couple days, so we're hoping this is a turning point.
