I was trying to remember if I was ever one of those people who would stop and exclaim “Twins!” and then lean over the stroller for a look. I don’t think so. I might have thought it in my head but I am usually pretty reserved when it comes to getting in strangers faces and [...]

Day 213
May 25th, 2008 · 3 Comments
The babies are now 7 months old. Or 30 weeks. Or 213 days if you want to be a little more accurate. That’s about 1.8% of my life. The impact that they have made in our lives is immeasurable. They have been out of the womb 57 days more [...]

After many attempts we finally made it to the local zoo to break in our new membership (compliments of the Gaylord’s). On Sunday the weather was perfect, twins were fed and calm. It was the winning choice. We had thought about going to the beach but the twins are too young to wear sunscreen and [...]

It is like Stuff on my Cat but the baby version. Rather than doing the things I should be doing (like folding the laundry that is thrown into Derby’s crib) I am taking dorky pictures of the twins. They like it….they told me so. At least they did before they started screaming.

Turns out if you rack up 2.4 million in hospital bills they will throw in a free baseball cap! Who says health care doesn’t give back???
Actually we were having trouble keeping track of all of the twins EOB’s (explanation of benefits). We would get one from October and then in the same pile of mail [...]

How do you keep up?!

The internet can be a wonderful and terrible thing all at once. Online shopping, wikipedia, blogs…all wonderful things. Then there is the other hand of looking up information and trying to decipher what is crap. There are so many schools of thought when it comes to raising kids these days. When the twins were still [...]
They take after their mom

I am a sleeper. No early bird gets the worm for me. I would sleep till 10 am (or longer) if you let me. I love to lounge in bed reading and have someone bring me coffee. The twins must know that about me because last night they slept from 11 pm to 7 am. [...]

She is so easily amused

Loen will be the child who will want to play with the box that the toy comes in. The other morning I was getting ready to take a shower while the twins were quiet. I had already fed and changed them so I figured they would be good (hopefully) for 10 minutes while I attempted [...]
