Welcome!

Welcome to my blog - it's like a diary only better. This is my soapbox containing a collection of my thoughts and the experiences of my life raising twins.

Prior to this blog, prior to marriage and prior to the twinsanity that I now call my life, life was quite different for me. When you visit this blog, you won’t find me writing much about my life pre-twins – I hope that’s okay. Why? You ask. Because life with twins changes everything and my life pre-multiples is now just a dizzy, distant memory. And while it’s true that life years ago may have been a little more glamorous, the life I live now is a whole lot more rewarding and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

I’m glad you’ve stopped by...there’s a really strong chance that I won’t offer anything extraordinary here, but by the same token there is also the possibility that you will experience a taste of the adventures, challenges and many joys that come with my life with twins. Hopefully that will be enough to bring you back here again.

Learning Our ABC's

The twins are learning so much these days. It seems like every day they learn and do something new!

We’ve been practicing our ABC’s for the past couple of weeks and today, I heard Taylor singing her ABC’s almost perfectly. She got the “L, M, N, O, P” letters a little out of sequence but the rest of the alphabet song, she got right. Paige is getting there too – she gets the first 6 or 7 letters right, then jumbles up the middle section of the alphabet song and then comes back for a strong finish with “U, V, W, X, Y, and Z…now I know my ABC’s, next time won’t you sing with me”. It’s very cute hearing the girls singing the ABC song together!

This afternoon, we also worked on our ABC’s puzzles. Some of these pictures are actually a little deceiving because the girls look like such little darlings sitting for what appears to be such a long period of time but they’re definitely not. We snapped these pictures in all of about 2 minutes which is about as long as they will sit and do any one focused task at this point. Ha, ha!
