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.

Hide and Seek


August 6, 2011
This is their version of hide and seek (please excuse the shaky camera...I was laughing at them).

Our Favorite Things

August 5, 2011
We love visitors and we love story time. Thanks for spending the afternoon with us Tammy.

She's Back


August 4, 2011
Auntie Karina spent the night last night after getting in late from her trip to Atlanta. Josie and Noah were both surprised and thrilled to see her come out of the office in the morning; they're used to greeting her at the front door. They showered her with some hugs and lovin' and then it was playtime.

Responsible or Morbid?


August 3, 2011
We went to SSU to have a friend notarize our wills and trust...can't help but feel like responsible (and morbid) adults. Afterward, we kicked back for a little lunch.

Photos?

(August 1-2)
The problem with updating a blog once a month is that you lose track of your photos...I thought I took pictures everyday this month, but apparently I didn't. So, here are some random updates; things that have happened in the last month, but I don't remember exactly when:

  • Both Josie and Noah are running now
  • Noah has his first molar - that makes 9 teeth, with three more trying to break through
  • Jo still only has 6 teeth, but I think she's working on some too
    • Correction (8/28) - I found 2 top molars while brushing her teeth. That makes 6 on top and 2 on the bottom.
  • There are signs that they are getting ready to go down to one nap a day - here's hoping that's a smooth transition!
  • Every time they hear music they start to dance
  • When they hear "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" they sing along


Cuddle


July 31, 2011
After a good cuddle with our friend Rachel, we headed to the park in our new (to us) ATW.

They make me laugh!


July 30, 2011
Officially finished with my work as an "orientation consultant," I spent my first day back in the role of "stay-at-home mom" laughing at Josie and Noah. In the midst of double melt-downs, it's nice to be able to call to mind these moments of entertainment.
