1st year

Like Father, Like Son

We have been using the babyplays.com service and the boys really seem to appreciate it. Five new toys to play with for a month, then return and get five more.  This most recent box had a Fisher Price computer for lil ones.  Forest doesn’t seem to like it much, in fact all day yesterday [...]


Sing a Song

I was getting the boys dressed this morning and singing the Sesame Street song, “Sing”. I used to LOVE that song as a child. I remember how happy it made me feel even then. The first kids compilation of music we bought for the boys had that song on it and I [...]


Social

I tried twitter and it was interesting and fun for awhile but Facebook has taken over as my “social media outlet”. As a person interested in and involved in technology I value the purpose and opportunity of twitter. As a stay at home mom, I just didn’t find the value for my personal [...]


prayers of gratitude

I’d like share some special special prayers of gratitude for the healing and health that has come this year. Baby Catherine who wasn’t supposed to live at birth but is at home in time for Christmas and to live with her family and two year old Tuesday who’s little body has made it through [...]


Is this week almost over?

I put the boys back on regular milk about a week ago, I’ve been regularly trying it out for them every few months to see how Logan reacts. Unfortunately he reacted poorly again with horrible constipation that I’m now feeding him prunes for. Poor little guy.
The boys [...]


Crawling out of the Cribs day 3

Last night we put the boys to bed in their cribs but left the bars down and no sleep sacs. It took them about an hour to settle down as they roamed the room and pulled toys and books into each other’s beds. But they did finally settle but it was a bit [...]


Always Going Forward

The other day I had a funny memory from the first few months of motherhood and nursing twins.  Yes, it was just last year although it seems like a lifetime ago.  While in the hospital after the boys were born, I asked for the lactation consultant to come by and make sure that we were [...]


Prayer Request this week

Prayers for all the families as children start school. Prayers for working parents who have to adjust their schedules and live through chaos for a few weeks until it all settles into normalcy. Prayers for parents who are seeing their babies going off to kindergarten, high school, or college and all that that [...]


Catherine

I am in awe at the power of prayer and how the internet has created prayer circles out of people who have never met but who are energetically invested in each others’ journey.
As usual, I don’t remember how I ended up at the blog, but a couple weeks ago I found myself reading [...]


Tidbits

Have I mentioned:
Logan has four top front teeth, two bottom front teeth, and 3 molars.
Forest has four top front teeth, four bottom front teeth and 1 molar. He just got the second set of bottom teeth over the weekend!
Forest can do somersaults. He understands the word and does them. Now if we [...]
