A Day Together

Ben and Henry started out the day by taking a bath together. Then they took a short nap. It was great to see them seem to remember who the other one was. Henry hasn't played well with other children his age, and neither has Ben from what I understand. But they seem very much at ease with each other. We drove into Dallas for photos at the Olan Mill studio in Valley View mall. The boys really seemed to enjoy each other's company while we waited. They seemed excited and were interacting with each other in a very friendly way. By the time we got to the photographer taking their picture they were a little tired and it took a LOT of coaxing to get a few good shots.

We had dinner at the Green Papaya, a Vietnamese restaurant in downtown Dallas. The owner was very friendly and interested in our story. He gave us a free dish of kalamari. Then as we were leaving we met a young Vietnamese man who is a dentist.

It was a great day and the boys were exhausted by the time we finally made it home. Tomorrow not much is planned--an interview with the local paper and collecting DNA for the twin zygosity test.

I am so happy that you are all able to meet and that they are enjoying their time together, perhaps the brother bond remains tight. They both look wonderful.
I hope Henry's ears clear soon.
