Interrupting Spain for a minute

Before I forget, I wanted to put up these cute, last pictures that we took while we were still in Utah. Yes, Alicia and I got to see our twinner girlies play together for a few minutes. It was so much fun to watch them wander around Scott and Alicia's house together, curiously playing with all Brielle's toys. They especially loved it when we put them in Brie's crib together. They thought they were putting on a show for us or something... tag-team comedians!
Both girls were at the end of a lot of revved up "family" time, so they were pretty tired and ready to sleep. But Brielle managed to show Samantha around for a while. Here she is showing Sam her new ball blowing toy. Sam didn't like the noise (remember how she's scared of loud noises that sound anything remotely like a vacuum), but after she saw Brielle wasn't afraid of it, she toughened up a bit and acted like she thought it was cool.

Here's Alicia and me, trying to get the girls to pose for a picture with us. As you can tell, it wasn't working. Samantha cried every time I tried to get the phone off her face, and Brielle had a hard time wanting to sit on Alicia's lap. Oh well.

And here's one of the two cute little baby bottoms together. We were all amazed at how much taller Samantha is than Brielle. (And we won't say anything to compare the amount of hair, will we?)

We had such a good time visiting with Alicia and Scott. It was a perfect way to end our visit home... only it was waaaaay too short, just like the rest of the trip!
