The twins’ fourth birthday has come and gone, along with their party and a seemingly never ending rainstorm. We were lucky enough to have excellent weather the day of their party, but then it rained for 6 days straight. The weather finally broke yesterday and seems to be sunny once again today. The weather did [...]
Joe and I are coming up on our second Valentine’s Day together. And by “together” I, of course, mean apart. I suppose there’s always next year, right? If all goes as planned, there will be about 50 more V-Day’s, the Marine Corps can’t possibly take ALL of them. And no, USMC, that is not a [...]

Today is my birthday! It’s also Sarah’s birthday! Because we are the two coolest twin-moms with the same birthday around. Joe made me a wonderful present, but it seems he left it in South Carolina when he moved out. After almost two weeks of searching, he finally just told me what it was. He’s still [...]

In years past, I have participated in the November Blog-a-thon. I can’t remember what it’s actually called and don’t feel like looking it up, but it’s that thing where you blog every single day in November. Well this year I completely forgot about it, and by the time I remembered it, November was more than [...]
Nick is really into family dynamics and roles. Which I suppose is a good thing considering he does come from a broken home. Everything has to have a mommie and a daddy. We have the daddy Lightening McQueen racecar and the baby Ligtening McQueen racecar. Or “Little Lightening” as Nick calls him. Anything large is [...]
And when my girlfriend tells me to do something, I do it. Because I take so many pictures and don’t really feel like typing, you’re going to get a photo posto. This past Sunday, my girlfriend and I went on a date to see Gavin McGraw. He was pretty awesome, but paled in comparison to [...]

Haven’t done one of these in awhile.. Nick Alex Not much is new on the twin front. When my disgustingly sweet husband saw these pictures he mentioned to me (via instant message) that he “missed the little scamps.” I hooked up an old web-cam and he was able to see all of us, albeit very [...]
The boys are at the stage where they say things without thought. ‘Cause ya know, they’re three years old (almost!) and they don’t care. One day a few weeks ago, while dropping them off at day care, a man walked by who had a full beard and a bandanna around his head. Nick said “Look [...]
