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.

Hiking In Yosemite National Park

This weekend, we took a drive South to the beautiful Yosemite National Park. A few of the pictures of our visit to Yosemite are shown below; but, you also must, must, must be sure to check out the photos featured in the above slideshow too. There are some real keepers in our photo montage! It was truly a spectacular day....ahhhhhh, the awesome pictures and the lasting memories...truly spectacular. Did I already mention how spectacular it was?! Spectactular!

Even Tukker made the trek with us to Yosemite National Park.

Taking a little break...I'm not the hiker I used to be, that's for sure.

Vacation to Upstate New York

A week ago we were vacationing in upstate New York, visiting with Mike's family and what an AWESOME vacation it was! I also enjoyed seeing a few new things about my children...such as, they LOVE going to the ice cream stands with daddy. But, it must, must be Rudy's soft-serve ice cream in vanilla (for Taylor) and chocolate (for Paige) as well as be completely covered in rainbow sprinkle candies!
And, touring historic Fort Ontario in Oswego, was a pretty cool experience for the twins too...
They also both enjoyed walking along the shoreline of Lake Ontario with daddy, picking up stones and skipping them across the water...
They enjoy hometown parades, especially the free candy they got from the floats and the flag waving from the sidelines of the parade...
And, finally, they really LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their family, especially their cousins...
We truly had a fantastic vacation...and, you can check out the slideshow above for lots more pictures of our great family vacation!
