And just in case anyone is curious, we are not going to have four under four. It’s hard to believe we’ve been married with children for this long already. The twins turn three on Monday. We are not doing anything super-exciting for their birthday, except celebrating it over a couple of weekends. Last week we [...]

Memorial Day Weekend
Posted in Visitors on May 31, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Soren is going to be 3 weeks old tomorrow! He is still being a very good sleeper, but now he wakes up about twice during the night, mostly at my prompting. When I first sent some pictures to my Dad from my phone in the hospital, my phone auto-corrected his name and changed it to [...]
A weekend with friends, the beach, ponies, and trains

We had an activity-filled weekend, and I’m behind on posts, so I’m going to let the pictures do most of the talking. Our friend Chris and his son Luc were up here for the weekend, as well as Rainbow, Tom, and Twain from Washington. We all had a dinner party at my sister’s house on [...]

My dad came out to visit last weekend and we had an activity-packed few days. It was a shame the weather didn’t cooperate that much, but we still got to do a lot. It’s nice that the twins aren’t napping any longer, because we can spend all day doing something without worrying about naptime. On [...]
Omie visit and Briones Regional Park

Omie chose a really good weekend to visit. It was pleasant, warm, and sunny. We decided to all go for a walk in Briones Regional Park because it isn’t very crowded, it allows dogs, and we have barely scratched the surface of the trails there. It was a nice day for a walk, but Claire [...]
Opening presents

It was so nice to have everyone over and see the twins really enjoy Christmas. Justin and I put the play kitchen out in the living room so they would see it when they woke up and not get too antsy waiting for everyone to come over for breakfast and present-opening. They were happy and [...]
Visit from Omie

We had promised the twins that we’d get a Christmas tree and decorate it with Omie, and they were looking forward to it all week. The airport in Cancun had a huge Christmas tree and they loved it. We figured this year they’d be old enough to appreciate it and hopefully not destroy it, and [...]
Visit from G’ampa Bruce

My dad came out for the weekend and oh boy did the twins have fun with him. Claire leaped into his arms and cuddled against him for longer than she’s ever cuddled with anyone, including me. She just put her head on his chest and was calm and quiet. We had a family get-together at [...]
Justin is back, computer is fixed, visit from Grandpa

I feel so loved! Justin changed his plane ticket and came back from Europe six days early. On his first day back, he ran errands, fixed the computer, repaired a leaky toilet, and managed to make sense at a family brunch despite being jet-lagged and going on 26 hours without sleep the day before. His [...]
Grandpa Bruce came to visit

It was touch-and-go for a while, because blizzards in Wyoming were canceling flights, but the weather cleared up just in time for my dad to come out for the weekend. Happily, his brother Duncan, Duncan’s wife Sheila, and their children were also in town visiting from New Mexico, and when you add in my dad’s [...]
