This morning the twins requested waffles for breakfast (again) and I thought that is a relatively mess free meal to try out at their new table. I don’t put anything on the waffle so we should be good.
With plates and sippy cups in front of them they sat quietly munching their food. They looked like [...]

Smooth Sailing
February 17th, 2010 · 1 Comment
Smooth sailing my foot. We don’t do no stinkin smooth sailing in this family! Today is Derby’s 2 year anniversary of coming home from the NICU.
Quick recap: here we are 2 years ago. Lord they were tiny!
The night before Loen was running a temp of 102. Then this morning they both were feverish and had [...]
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 Lost [...]

Today marks Loens 2 year anniversary of leaving the NICU and coming home. It went by so fast!
For the love of animals
February 11th, 2010 · 1 Comment
We don’t have any animals but we try to expose them to wildlife when possible. We go to the zoo and look at animal books. Derby loves their Little People Ark and will make the animal sounds then shout “ANIMALS!” It is all or nothing with that boy.
Loen is fearless when it comes to animals, which [...]

The twins got rain gear from Oma and Papa Andy for Christmas. They really, really like playing in the rain. To the point where you have to drag them back inside or you find yourself arguing with a screaming 2 year old about why you can’t have an open wet umbrella in the house.
Because being in [...]

Vote for Gwendolyn
January 19th, 2010 · No Comments
I have mentioned Gwendolyn Strong in our blog before. She was also born in October 2007, but unlike the twins she was not a micropreemie and did not spend months in the NICU. Gwendolyn was a full term, healthy baby. Not until she was 9 weeks old did they realize something was wrong, then at [...]

Snow Day
December 5th, 2009 · 2 Comments
We figured we would expose the twins to the snow before overwhelming them with the freezing tundra known as Bad Axe, Michigan (at least that is how I remember it the last time we went back for Christmas). Snow day at the zoo seemed like the perfect opportunity. Sledding, animals and opened an hour early [...]
