Two of my good friends have taken on "Project 365" and have inspired me to do the same. Basically, the goal is to take one picture everyday for a year and to post the picture along with a brief description. It's been quite interesting and entertaining to follow these women's adventures and while I don't anticipate my posts to be as exciting as a new college grad or someone studying/traveling in Europe, I thought this would be a unique way to document the first year of the littles' lives. I can just about guarantee that this blog will not be updated daily and perhaps not even weekly, but I'll give it my best effort to post on a regular basis. My hope is that this will be a popular site for the grandparents, godparents, aunties, uncles, cousins, and friends of the littles and that this can be a fun way to watch them grow.

*November, 2011* We made it through the year, and I thought perhaps I'd try to redesign the blog for the future, intermittent updates. But, this twin mom is going to keep it simple and just keep going. Do not expect daily photos; we'll just post highlights from now on. Enjoy.

Please don't go!

January 2, 2012

The day for our visitors to leave us came much too quickly. Josie and Noah had grown very fond of their cousins and tried to charm them into staying.



Eighteen

January 1, 2012

We celebrated Josie and Noah turning 18 months and Chloe turning 18 years old. I'm not sure which birthday anniversary shocks me more. We also had a fun-filled day and wonderful start to a new year.


Christmas came again as Angela and Kyle spoiled us with new books.

First video game.



We all know Noah is a mini-Bennett, but here we actually captured the same expression at the same time.

New Year's Eve

December 31, 2011
Couldn't have picked a better way to ring in the New Year!

"Mom, even though Alex is on Montreal time, it's still early for pictures!"

The Littles, slightly more awake, enjoying an animal TV show with their godfather.

And then, the Littles somehow slept through all of the shenanigans during the night.








"It's an Egyptian exhibit!"




Favorite thing about this picture? Look at Ben's feet.


Bailey had had enough

Favorite thing about this picture? Angela.

More Cousins!

December 30, 2011
Angela and family arrived in town to celebrate the end of the year with us, and they brought Alex with them. Finally the Littles have met all three of the Corrado "kids!" We spent the day playing around and enjoying each other's company.





Post-Christmas Fun (and Recovery)

December 27, 2011

Grandma and Grandpa passed through town and the Littles enjoyed showing off all of their new things. Then it was time to relax with Dad.




Christmas Fun

December 25, 2011

Fun in our bouncy house...the hugs quickly turned into wrestling fun.




Nonna and Nonno bought the littles a train

And when Noah monopolizes the ride-on train, Josie proves her small size can be an advantage

Josie and Noah's first conversation

April 28, 2011

While I acknowledge that I've gotten very far behind on blogging, I've made it a goal to catch up by the time the littles are 2 (which frighteningly is right around the corner!). And I've realized that by not blogging regularly, I'm forgetting some of their funny antics. Therefore, I'm sitting down to document their first conversation...well the first one I've been able to understand.

Today as I put one of Josie's shoes on, preparing to head out for a walk, Noah came up beside me and picked up her other shoe.
(Looking at me and then to Josie) Noah: "Help"
Me: "Okay, thank you Noah"
(Placing Josie's shoe at her foot) Noah to Josie: "Push"
Josie to Noah: "Too tight!"
Noah to Josie: "Come on!"
