It was a long trip, but we got back home Saturday night around 1am. Not bad - 12 hours for 650 miles. I am still happy about the van's performance during the trip, save for the roofing nail in a tire, but that was easily fixed with a trip to the local hardware store.

I might've mentioned earlier about the kids' sleeping habits - they did two nights in a row where they slept from about early evening to early morning (roughly 7 hour stretches). We thought we were approaching the clear zone, but I think the 12 hour car ride did that in for a bit by screwing up the twins' sleeping patterns. :/ At any rate, I'm hoping tomorrow's appointment yields good news and perhaps we can start introducing some rice cereal to the ol' evening bottles.

In other news, I've started moving all the picture galleries into a central location that I can control. You'll notice the Photos link over there on the right goes to Valence-Pix, where I have started posting photo albums. I've still to move the kid's photo log over to Valence-Pix, so you will still see the Picasa web link available. In the meantime, you can always ride on over to Valence-Pix to check out the latest photo logs, or subscribe to the RSS feed.

TTFN!
