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.

Snowy Day in the High Sierras

Yesterday, we loaded up our SUV and headed to the Sierra Mountains. With 4 feet of fresh snow fall this week, the twins, their "Momo" from Virginia and I bundled up in our warmest winter wear and spent the day enjoying a taste of winter at an elevation of 4,000+ feet. There were snow showers, snow ball fights, snow angels and snow eating contests! At the end of the snowy day, the twins were sound asleep by 6:30 PM and didn't wake up until 7:30 AM today. Talk about a fun day that totally wore them out...I can't remember the last time the twins were in bed that early or slept that late.
Side note: Our SUV was fantastic in the snow yesterday as we climbed through the mountains - we even got to use the 4WD at some points in our route!!! By the way, I'm happy that we chose to go yesterday and not today because the Sierras are getting another dumping of fresh snow as I sit here and type this posting, and I wouldn't want to be caught in a snow storm in the Sierra Mountains as it's happening at 4,000 feet...
