Twins

Love

The time between the morning nap and the afternoon nap today SUCKED. The boys were both a mess and I ended up such a mess that at one point I even locked us out of the house. But this post is not all about that insanity so I’m not even going to go […]


Boys at work


Bucket Head


step by step

For the last several months, Brad has taken care of the boys in the morning while I take a shower, brush my teeth and otherwise become human again. I read this wonderfully accurate description of what it must be like for him dealing with our two 15 month old twin boys. While he’s […]

New Experience - Only One Baby?!

This weekend I had a new experience with the boys. I got to spend 24 hours with just one at a time. Dusty and Brad have done this several times in the past six months over weekends when I’ve gone out of town, but this was my first time. Dusty came and […]
