A Week Without My Girls
My girls are back from a 1 week tour of Ohio and I couldn’t be happier. Since I wasn’t there I can’t speak too much about what they did, but they did seem to have fun. Helena is getting to be an excellent traveller apparently and she loved the zoo too. I myself learned that…

This has once again been another crazy whirlwind of a month. Not sure how it got to be June already, but here we are. We got back from Texas the first week of May and after not seeing Helena for an entire week she looked and sounded like a totally different person. Her voice had…

This has been an extremely busy month or so, which accounts for my lack of blog posts in that timeframe. I don’t even think I have time to do this one, but there have been so many fun and crazy moments with Helena and of course Christine that I feel like I need to write…
Read MoreFirst Date
Today is Helena’s 20 month birthday, which is exciting enough in and of itself. But even more exiting is that I went on my first date with another girl since getting married just the other day. I took her to five guys burgers and Fries and she had the grilled cheese and loved it! She…

It’s been a great month with our little Lena. We discovered pig tails (to die for cute!!!), we learned to sleep past 4:30am (Hooray!!) and, graduated from a high chair to a booster seat. She actually told us “No, No Chair!” referring to the high chair and pretty much forced our hand. But she is…

Read More12 hours of Christmas Eve
I wrote a little song about our rough christmas eve last night sung to the 12 days of Christmas tune. Merry Christmas everyone! 12 towels puked on 11 sets of sheets 10 times vomiting 9 gifts not wrapped 8 hours of crying 7 new shirts 6 loads of laundry 5 people skipped dinner 4 cries…

In case you missed it, we posted October pictures a couple weeks ago. Seriously this is the first moment I’ve had to even consider posting a blog. The pics are at the link below… October 2010 – SmugMug Helena is doing absolutely amazing. She is loving her new classroom at Daycare. Even though she is…

We have been trying to only post pictures once a month, both for our sanity and the sanity of others, but we’ve had some unofficial complaints from sources who will remain nameless. All I can say is that we will try to upload more often. At this moment Helena is treating me to a now…
