I have been trying to get some things done while the twins nap this week, and they have decided to have nap issues all of a sudden. I’m not even talking about housework or things like that, because that doesn’t happen during naps. The only things I can do during naptime involve silence and minimal [...]

Trip to Santa Barbara
Posted in Travel on September 23, 2008 | 2 Comments »
We had a wonderful time in Santa Barbara. We took four days and visited Justin’s mother. Once again, my fears about the difficulties and complications of traveling with twins were much greater than the reality.

Less than a day after I thought I’d made the living room baby-safe again, I took this video. While Claire really enjoys moving quickly, [...]

We have two baby showers to attend, one today and one next weekend. Apparently 2007, Claire & Ronin’s birth year, had the highest recorded number of births in US history, more than any baby boom year, but this year seems to be keeping up with the trend.
Claire’s new trick is turning pages and pointing at [...]
