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.

VA Vacation - Fishing the Shenandoah River with Poppa

The twins, once again, make their mommy and daddy proud! While in VA, the twins joined their poppa for a day of fishing along the picturesque Shenandoah River, and successfully caught their first fish - a small mouth bass. A small mouth bass - yes, not too shabby a catch for a couple toddlers!

The twins and I admire their first catch from the Shenandoah River.

Paige and Taylor were just too cute as they attempted to cast their own fishing lines in the river, sat and watched curiously as their poppa would put the bait on the hooks and as they reeled in their lines. The only sad element to the entire day was that their daddy wasn't there to be apart of this "first" for the girls. Mike, who absolutely adores fishing himself, was already back on the West Coast; but for his sake, I made sure to take tons and tons of photos for him so he could see just what stellar little fishers his girls made. They made their daddy proud, no doubt! You will find these photos featured in the lead slide show at the top of the web site - ENJOY!

Oh, and one last thing - a disclaimer, if you will - I am soooooo NOT the bohemian, gypsy, earthy, tree-hugging looking girl that these photos would suggest. It was hot as heck sitting along the river's edge in the mid-day sun and that bandana was a must-do to keep the sweat from rolling in my eyes. Ha, ha, ha.
