Who’s the big kid that ate Nate? Seriously. Yesterday he couldn’t see further than his little, tiny toes. Today he weighs fifteen pounds (!), has two teeth (!), is rolling over, grabbing everything in sight, and trying to eat my necklace. He “chats”, laughs at my jokes, and smiles at EVERYONE. He is an absolute...Continue Reading
I’ve been so distracted with the whole strep throat/mono situation (I’ve kicked strep throat and have Epstein Barr, a precursor to mono) that I never reported that our camping trip was fabulous. I mean as fabulous as any trip is when you come home with strep throat and Epstein Barr virus. The kids did it...Continue Reading
First of all, I have to tell you that Ellie is not taller than Sam. They are exactly the same height. Our kids just stand awkwardly in photos. Like their parents. There. I’m glad I could tell you that, so I could use this picture to explain that I do not have the Kissing Disease....Continue Reading
Today is another beautiful fall day in Houston. Sunny with a crisp autumn wind and a perfect 65 degrees.Not that I would know.I’ve been in bed since Monday with strep throat. I thought it was a bad case of the flu until Tuesday, and I finally got on much-needed antibiotics on Tuesday afternoon. Now, Wednesday...Continue Reading
…that Nate is rolling over. I’m so embarrassed to admit I’m not sure. Especially after my post about the audience Catie had. I’ve heard Nate is rolling over. But I haven’t seen it. The problem is that Ellie is the roll-over messenger, and I’m just not sure she’s sure. She loves to watch Nate in...Continue Reading
This picture of Sam was taken on our annual Thanksgiving trip to Jellystone Park. Not only is our traditional trip a lot of fun for the whole family, but it kicks off the Christmas season. About the only way we can get the kids home from all the fun of camping is to remind them...Continue Reading
Happy Thanksgiving (late, since our Day was spent camping, with no wifi in sight)… Catie has lost the second of her two front teeth. And the timing was perfect. My little performer has always been able to work a crowd–and she didn’t disappoint when she lost her second front tooth (one of the Really Noticeable...Continue Reading
Speaking of new friends for the twins (as I was in the last post), Ellie is working on her conversation skills with potential friends. She has a favorite “pick-up line” when she spots a nice looking girl who might like to share some goldfish crackers. “I do ballet.” And she does do ballet. Twenty-five minutes...Continue Reading
The title of this post is for Catie. Even though it’s about the twins, Catie loves to announce which friend is her Best Friend Forever. A different one everyday. I’ve tried yo explain to her that life has different seasons and the person who’s her best friend for one may not work for another.Just kidding.She...Continue Reading
I loved this picture of Sam and Ellie so much that I thought I’d write a funny letter to Steve Jobs about how much we use our iPad. But once I started, the letter turned kind of serious. Because, as it turns out, we are all a bit addicted to the iPad. Dear Steve Jobs…...Continue Reading
