The Terrific/Horrific Twos
OT Bound
Last week the pediatrician confirmed my thoughts that Forest may have tactile defensiveness and gave me a diagnoses of “sensory integration disorder” so now we are off to schedule him for an evaluation with an Occupational Therapist.
On Tuesday I’m going to sit in on one of the boys’ tumbling class and take some [...]
Trimming Trees and Birthdays
The boys turn three years old this coming Saturday, December 12th. They certainly look and act like three year olds to me. It’s a magical, brilliant age and I can’t believe the time has flown by like it has. All of us parents say that, don’t we?
This year, Dusty is taking [...]
Snow
We live in Austin, Texas so snow is a BIG deal. I grew up in more northern states and in Europe so I really miss it. Even my 10 years in Dallas got more snow then Austin does. So when they started predicting snow the other day I got excited. I [...]

It’s the Little Things
The boys started a tumbling class recently. We’ve never been able to afford the kid classes before because with two, costs get pretty crazy. But our new neighborhood has a community center across the street from us and a local gymnastics teacher thought to supplement her normal classes by offering classes to our [...]

Potty Training
We are two weeks into potty training and I must say that it’s going really well. Thursday we had our first “no accident” day! I’ve learned that the biggest thing was to just get them out of diapers. At the beginning both boys were resistant to putting on underwear so I have [...]
Current Cuteness
Some of the things that I’ve noticed in the past few weeks that bring little joys to my day.
When we ask Logan a question he says “uhmm” and pauses to think about it before he answers. The “uhm” is so cute and serious.
When the boys are playing rough with us and we grab Logan, [...]
Further and further
I’ve been very aware of how my posts on this blog have gotten further and further apart over the past year. A lot like the picture taking, videography and baby booking done for our children, as the years go by, we document less and less. Not only that, but I started this blog [...]
Update on the boys
Where oh where to begin?! In the coming days I plan to do some posts about our recent travels to LA and Alaska. With pictures, lots and lots of pictures! In the mean time, I’ve been wanting to sit down and write about the amazing accomplishments and personalities of the boys. [...]
