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 [...]

Since we are such seasoned travelers with the twins we decided the whole family would fly into Detroit for our friend Maser’s Ohio wedding. Obviously we weren’t thinking clearly.

At the end of May we went to Oakdale to celebrate lil Iain’s 4th birthday. What a difference traveling with the daddy makes. Someone to pack the car, do the driving and help with the twins. I can do it on my own though I prefer when Tadd is with us. We arrived on Thursday [...]

That is what I was telling myself as I packed the car for a solo trip to Oakdale. Solo as in one adult with the twins. The drive is 6 hours and previously there has always been an additional adult to hand out toys, bottles, binkers, books, etc. Now it was just going to be [...]

Last month Tadd’s mother and Aunt Tracie came for a few days, we had a small break and then my mother came for a visit. There is much to report on these visits but it all boils down to “spoiled grandchildren”. I often wonder if a little has to do with their rough start in [...]

My mom throws an amazing party with wonderful food and live music for New Years Eve. Last year we opted to stay home since the babies were in the hospital but this year we were raring to go. Tadd actually had to work on the 31st so we didn’t leave Santa Barbara til a little [...]
