It’s hard to believe, and at the same time, it feels so totally normal. Justin and I were home last night, and I was lying on the floor, and Ronin was driving cars over me and Claire was leaning over to see how close she could get to my face (pretty close) and I [...]

Trip to Canada
Posted in Milestones, Travel, Video included on July 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Last week my mom, Justin, and I took the twins on an adventure to visit their Aunt Linda and their great-grandparents on a small island in McGregor Bay in Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada. There is no electricity and no phone service. The cabin has a large glassed-in porch where we take our meals and watch [...]
Language

I forgot to mention that Ronin used his first three-word combo the other day when we visited Justin’s work. At an intersection, he said “Blue car gone” when a car pulled away. Claire has just started using two-word combinations lately, following her trend of being a little behind Ronin in the language skills. She has [...]
Mama, what big eyes you have
Posted in Milestones on June 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday Ronin told me I had big eyes. “Big eye, Mama eye,” is what he said to me. I guess it doesn’t quite count as a first sentence, but he is certainly getting more complex with the number of words he is stringing together, and I took it as a compliment. He can count up [...]
“Ronin”
Posted in Milestones on May 16, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Just in the past few days, Ronin has started tapping his chest and saying “Ronin,” both independently and when asked what his name is. It is such a sweet sound! He is not so good at saying “R” sounds, hence his use of “Ock” for “Rock” and “Gween” for “Green,” so it sounds a little [...]
“Claire”

My aunt Linda is in town, and she spent yesterday here at our house with my mom, helping babysit all day while I was at work. I think they all had a good time, and it was nice for the twins to get reacquainted with their aunt. On my days off Linda and my mom [...]
Claire told her first lie and Ronin fell out of the crib
Posted in Milestones on February 8, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I guess I can categorize it as a milestone. “Claire, do you need a diaper change?” She shakes her head. “No?” Whew (waving my hand in front of my nose). That was a big lie! And she does it every time. Only for the really bad ones. She’s been really funny for the poopy diapers. [...]
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 [...]
Happy birthday, Justin!

Today is Justin’s birthday, and we are celebrating with an appointment and a date. We have the day off work to take care of the business part of the day, and since we had to do it anyway, we scheduled it for Justin’s birthday so we could combine it with some fun stuff. This [...]
A morning at the playground
Posted in Milestones, Video included on January 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It is warm, we had no errands, nobody is sick, and everyone wanted to run around. We had an extra-long playground excursion with lots of videos for your viewing pleasure. Surprisingly, we had the playground to ourselves on this warm winter day. It’s always nice to have a little interaction with other children, but there [...]
