Way Back When-esday

Cheryl hosts this particular blog party over at Twinfatuation.  It’s all about pulling out a photo from way-back-when.  This is my first time joining in, and for the moment, I’m going to stick with photos pre-kids. First of all, I just don’t think my kids are old enough for a way-back-when.  Plus, a pretty comprehensive [...]

Required for all twins

They don’t tell you this at the hospital, or in the prenatal classes.  But as a parent of twins, there are certain pictures that you are required to take of your children together.  The newborns sleeping side-by-side.  The Thing 1 and Thing 2 (and/or Wonder Twins) onesies.  Et cetera.
Well, one of the required photos, as [...]

Fourteen months

Wow!  14 months old!  Honest-to-goodness toddlers, that’s for sure.  Daniel is getting a bit better at walking every day, though still mostly crawls.  Rebecca was trying to imitate more words yesterday, and attempted to both sign and say “duck,” which I must say she did pretty well!  Mini-tantrums and skipped naps aside, this is a [...]

The Clappers

As promised, photos of the clappers…  They’re just tickled by their new trick!

Photo catch-up

I know a lot of people say that you stop taking quite so many pictures once the kids turn a year old, but I have yet to notice a dramatic dropoff.  I’m sure it’s a gradual thing, and I’m also sure that once it’s winter and dark and cold and we’re inside, lacking natural light… [...]

Cute as can be

I haven’t been successful in capturing it on video, but I had to make note of some of my very favorite super-adorable things the kids do right now.
Daniel is a chatterbox, and I love his sweet little voice.  He’s got quite a range, going from gravelly to shrieking and practically yodeling, and sometimes just talking [...]

Trip Recap, Part 1 – Grandpa’s house

[Sucky day update: the city is attempting to repair the broken sewage pipe, or at least making a good show of tearing up the street in front of my driveway. M just informed me that the city just cracked the water line instead of the sewer line, and haven't even dug in the right place [...]

Chair pictures, the first year

This is at least as much for myself, to see these chair pictures all lined up.  They’re getting harder and harder to take, so I may go to every 3 months or so from now on, but I’m glad I did as much as I did for the first year. I didn’t start taking them [...]

Wrenches in the plan

I want to tell you all about our trip, I really do.  All about our 11 nights in three different beds in two different states.  But in addition to the usual post-vacation craziness (dirty laundry, no food in the house, picking up the dog, fixing the lighting on the 900+ pictures I took), we’ve hit [...]

Eleven months

Oh, for crying out loud.  11 months old today?  Eleven?!  That’s entirely too close to a whole year. Even though each day has ticked along like the one before it, I still feel like this is sneaking up on me. The summer is flying by.  Less than three weeks until we leave for Chicago, only [...]
