December 2nd, 2008 · 1 Comment

All is quiet right now. Babies are asleep, Tadd is watching a movie and I am FINALLY posting.
We went to Arizona for Thanksgiving. We got to meet Kyle and Christina’s new baby, Madeline. I love her hair.

Loen wasn’t sure what to think of a baby smaller than herself, that was a first.

Deb did most of [...]

Guilty Pleasures

November 16th, 2008 · 2 Comments

We all have them. Eating frosting out of the tub, renting High School Musical, thinking Manwich is tasty. Things you have no problem doing in the privacy of your own home but if someone calls you out, you’re red in the face.
I have a few ( I’m sure more than a few). Ill admit it, [...]

Nope that didnt work either

October 14th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I have been trying to give the twins solid food every day or two. It isn’t a substantial amount but I am hoping it will get them used to eating solids. Loen feels solid food is the perfect medium for creative expression (ie: huge mess). I will apologize for the photo quality now as I [...]

Day 213

May 25th, 2008 · 3 Comments

The babies are now 7 months old. Or 30 weeks. Or 213 days if you want to be a little more accurate. That’s about 1.8% of my life. The impact that they have made in our lives is immeasurable. They have been out of the womb 57 days more [...]

She is so easily amused

May 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

Loen will be the child who will want to play with the box that the toy comes in. The other morning I was getting ready to take a shower while the twins were quiet. I had already fed and changed them so I figured they would be good (hopefully) for 10 minutes while I attempted [...]
