Drew & Ian


Meet my twins Drew (in blue) and Ian. Don't they look cute all dressed up for their Spring concert. You'd never know from this picture that we have hit the bathroom humor stage....with a vengeance. Who knew that they would turn into my father-in-law at age 5 1/2?!?

Twins are so much fun....even when they look so much alike that sometimes even I have trouble telling them apart. Drew has always weighed just a couple of ounces more and Ian has always been about 1/4" taller. Always. (Ian is standing on a riser in the picture.) Sometimes they amaze me. Frequently they make my head spin. They can get along so well for so long.....but, when they fight, dear Lord, get out of the way. But they are my little miracle babies (They were born 14 weeks early.) and I don't know how I could ever do without them. It also amazes me just how much they look like their father. Seriously, my husband created himself a couple of Mini-Me's. If I hadn't been there for the c-section I would wonder if they were really mine.

Oh shite, apparently bath time is over, at least the two wet, naked boys running around have given me that impression....Mama's free time is over.

Prettiest Room in the House



Yesterday I finally got the rug I've been wanting for my dining room. Of course that means that most of my child free time today was spent intensely cleaning afore mentioned room. But I am now finished. I really love the new rug....but, I think the art work still makes me happiest. I was done by my very favorite artist, Ms. Ani. Now as soon as she finishes (or starts...what a busy girl!) the new artwork for that blank back wall, I will finally have one room in this house complete.
