And they are adorable so far. They haven’t broken anything...so far! LOL!

They are both snoozing right now. Hope that doesn’t mean they will want to stay up all night. Yikes!

Dropping graphics doesn’t help.

Oh no, HJ....that is NOT encouraging, but I will give it a try.

Tonight I clicked post, counted to 1, and backed completely out. That certainly didn’t help either.
