Megan had her 29th (ahem!) birthday on Sunday, so we decided to have an adult night out. 
The evening consisted of dinner at a favorite eatery - Frascati. 
It was our first time "away from the kids." Anne, Rita and Greg were kind enough to come over to watch the little ones while we had a lovely meal.
As you can see, Siena didn't want Mom to leave.

This Thanksgiving, we have even more for which to be thankful. Helping us celebrate the arrival of Jack and Siena were the extended Roberts clan. Tony, Gigi, Emily and Christian spent the week in San Francisco - mixing in work, sightseeing and babysitting duties.
Mom and Dad (Millie and Don) brought all the Thanksgiving food from Rocklin (thanks for cooking Mom) and we feasted in style.
We finally bathed our kids. It was time. 
Both took the washing like champs and I'd say they clean up pretty well.
Siena and Jack had their first pediatrician appointment today. So it was back in the car seats and off we went to Dr. Simons office. Both checked out real well. Although they both are still under their birth weights, it seems they have leveled off and are starting to gain some back. Also, the doctor measured each at 19 inches long. So they're growing.
After the appointment, the kids were passed out so we went across the street to Spruce, a local restaurant/bar, and had a couple nibbles and a drink. Our first family outing.
On Friday, the hospital kicked us out of our 5-star suite and made us take the babies home. So we dressed them in their first outfits, strapped them into their car seats, and loaded the little guys into the car. Kevin drove about 4 miles per hour down the side roads while both kids screamed at the top of their lungs. However, within a few blocks all was silent and we now have an extra line of defense whenever we need to pacify them late at night.
Two minutes later, at 3:07pm, our beautiful baby girl Siena Eileen arrived. She was 6 lbs. 1 oz and 18 1/4 inches long. Not to be outdone, Siena also scored a 9 on the Apgar. So both our kids are straight-A students thus far.
Mom did really great! First of all, carrying twins for 38.5 weeks is a remarkable task. The fact that they came out so big (for twins) and healthy is a testament to how well Megan took care of herself and her babies during the pregnancy. She is a true hero.
Megan hit 37 weeks on Wednesday. That's full term according to the experts. Therefore, the babies are fully developed and ready to hit the outside world. Only, they don't seem ready to do so just yet.
