Seasons changing

December 3rd, 2009 · No Comments

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 say [...]

As usual I have many posts in the works. Lil Iain’s birthday party in Oakdale, Mima & Grandpa Dons visit, tricycles, etc, etc etc. Until all the pictures get adjusted and I actually do the writing here is a little snippet of our day today. I should add that I am tired since we went [...]

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.

And I did it the haaaaaaaarrdd way

October 2nd, 2007 · 1 Comment

I’ve always been the one to go the steeper route, the harder way, the road less traveled. Usually it was not by choice I just seem to navigate that way. Prime examples:

Everyone would get strep throat as a kid, I got scarlet fever.

I had a hemoglobin of 5 (for you non-medical folks norms are 12-15) [...]

I have some jealous fetuses

October 2nd, 2007 · No Comments

The other day I went to visit Michelle and Grant. He is looking bigger all the time, yet is still a little guy. One nice thing is she is getting a lot of use out of his newborn clothes. Anyways Michelle went to make him a bottle and Grant starts to do this little wail. [...]
