Due Date Celebration take 2

February 14th, 2010 · No Comments

I’m sure it seems silly to celebrate all these little milestones, but they are so dear to our heart. The day Loen came home (2/11/08), their original due date (2/12/08 which they were NO WHERE close to making) and Derby’s homecoming (2/17/08). This year we went back to the beginning and ordered pizza and watched [...]

Seasons changing

December 3rd, 2009 · 1 Comment

Like the title? I figured it was appropriate because a season is going to go by before I get the twins birthday weekend up. Lets get this going! I went to check on my sleeping babies the other night and realized that they aren’t….babies. They are (gasp) kids. They are getting lanky, stinky and they [...]

We’re REALLY one this time!

February 13th, 2009 · 3 Comments

The past couple of days have been special anniversaries for our family. On Wednesday it was one year that Loen has been home, then yesterday it was their due date. I know it seems crazy to want to celebrate their due date but in the world of micropreemies you actually have to use that date a lot. [...]

December 27th, 2008 · No Comments

Here is an update about the NICU donations we collected in lieu of birthday gifts for the twins. The grand total came out to $1000! We were told that they purchased two glider chairs and a new digital camera with printer with the money.

I’m TRYING to be thankful!

November 21st, 2008 · No Comments

After the twins birthday party I prepared myself to tackle the list of thank you cards that needed to go out. I actually prepared a little in advance by buying stamps (which usually waylays my card sending plans). I ordered photo cards online and proceeded to wait for them to arrive. After a week UPS showed up [...]

One step closer to an AARP card

April 29th, 2008 · 5 Comments

I turned 35 on Sunday. I really have no problem with getting older, I feel pretty content with my life. I have a wonderful husband, two beautiful children, a career (that I will go back to one day) but the one thing that drives me nuts is how much gray hair I’m getting. And that [...]
