October 31st, 2008 · 1 Comment

11 months

October 7th, 2008 · No Comments

So this is WAYYYYYY past their actual 11 month birthday but I just haven’t forced myself to get back into posting. If I try and post when the babes are awake A: I feel guilty I am not spending that time playing and working with them and B: Loen crawls all over me and drools [...]
