Yesterday it was a nice crisp Fall day, and we drove out to Livermore to a farm with a pumpkin patch. It was only a little crowded, so the twins were able to run through the rows of pumpkins without us losing track of them.
I tried to have them sit down amongst the pumpkins for [...]

Two-Year Appointment
Posted in Appointments, Measurements on August 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
We had our two-year appointment today. I was under the mistaken impression that they would be getting immunizations, but happily for all of us I was wrong. They were weighed and measured. Throughout the appointment, Dr. Phu kept expressing amazement at how much better Ronin was doing, weight-wise, and I did mention that we’d been [...]
A zoo visit, and an upcoming trip

My mom and I took the children to the zoo a few days ago. We ended up going straight over to the rides, and stayed the rest of the afternoon, so the only animals Claire and Ronin saw were the props on the train ride. They had a wonderful time and kept trying to go [...]
Happy Easter!

We had an Easter brunch at Dinah and Manuel’s house. Dinah distributed bunny ears for her guests. I managed to get a picture during the three seconds they simultaneously wore them.
It was a really nice day for a brunch. We sat out on the deck and it was sunny enough that we needed the umbrella [...]
18-month appointment

Claire and Ronin had their 18-month appointment today even though they are almost 19 months old. They are nearly over their colds and they had their ears checked to rule out infection. They demonstrated very healthy yells for the doctor. They seem to be getting more and more unhappy with every visit, and this time [...]
Toddler fears and other things

This is a very long and rambling entry, since it was written over the course of several days due to certain babies ~ who shall remain unnamed ~ not napping much, or at all, or at least not at the same time.
Claire, our intrepid explorer, has been getting fearful lately. It was right around our [...]
15-month appointment, and rain, and trains

It started raining the day before Halloween and hasn’t stopped. I’ve been researching rainy-day activities, and yesterday we went to the Blue Sky Family Club for lunch and baby gym. It says it caters to families with children: “We know what it is like to take kids out – what a hassle it can be! [...]
14 months old & napping
Posted in Measurements on September 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]
One-year appointment
Posted in Appointments, Measurements on August 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yes, I know they’re almost 13 months old, but we just had their one year appointment last week. They received their vaccinations without too much of a fuss, listened to advice about using sippy cups and the potty chair and brushing their teeth, and they got their heights, weights, and head circumferences checked.
Ronin is 19 [...]
Happy Birthday!

What an incredible whirlwind of a year it’s been. I find it really hard to believe I’m the mom of two toddlers. On the one hand, it’s totally normal and feels like life would not be complete without them. On the other hand, I still can’t believe they’re here, and they’re as amazing as they [...]
