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 - Visiting the Archives of Presidential Inaugural Parade Floats

One afternoon, we visited the archives containing a host of past presidential inaugural parade floats and let me tell you, it was both exciting and scary for the twins. Exciting because it was as if they'd just walked into this amazing, new world where everywhere they looked the largest of structures, animals, characters loomed large. Scary because, by that same token, these large animals and characters were just TOO B-I-G for little people to behold. In fact, in some of the pictures you'll see below, Paige is walking around with her hands over her eyes as she peeks ever so carefully through the cracks of her little fingers at the many sights surrounding her. Some of the floats were open for exploration and the twins had a blast darting in and out of the various twists and turns of the floats.
