Megan & Maribeth - Homecoming!

I be warped mayhap, yet prudent.

E'en amongst the beasts of the field, the wise know it is not SAFE to molest nor in any fashion distress the brooding hen in her nest, nor the she-bear in her den.

And so I did take my leave to post.

Thee hast been warned, but I say again: the hours may weigh heavy upon thee until that time which has been appointed for the links to be made to appear by the maternal grandfather.

Do not be like unto the 5 maidens in the story who did make light chatter and at last gave into their weariness and missed THE WHOLE THING! But be sure to take your rest (for these links will not appear this night) and then keep your lamps trimmed and burning.

Exeunt.

Megan & Maribeth - Homecoming!

A homecoming

bound safe and warm in their cockleshells
the two weary travellers did land safe
to hearth and home and joyous welcome
amid prayers of thankfulness and gratitude

The children are asleep, except for a fussing Madeleine. I have been dispatched to download photos and to let you all know they are now safe at home.

Megan's discharge weight -- 2570g / 5# 11oz

Maribeth's discharge weight -- 1840g / 4# 1oz

Thus I have fulfilled my first duty.

The second mission must be deferred.

I am sending photos to Larry at home and he can post them at his convenience. He has been kept busy by his duties, so we must not presume upon him to lay sanity and health aside. Bate your collective breath ladies.
