A Whole New Blog

Greetings everyone, remember in January when I said that we were still here? Better late than never I suppose. As I’m sure you can tell, the blog has undergone a redesign. The purpose of this redesign is to make everything simpler to read and use for those of you who are still sticking around after all these months. So much has been happening with the kids and us that I won’t have room to put it all in one post, but of course I must do what I can.  How about a summary?

 

Babies

Sidney is walking! She has been for about a month now. For a couple of weeks she’s not been walking like a penguin anymore, so that’s definitely a step in the right direction (pun intended). In the talking department Sidney likes to stick to “dada”, “mama” and “baba” for now at least. Were expecting her to start busting out with the words any time now.

 

Zoe is definitely trying to talk. She mimics us any chance she gets and has managed to say “tickle” (of course – that was her first word), “ball” and all the components of “I” “love” “you”, but she hasn’t put that sentence together yet. In the walking department she’s getting close. If you hold her hand and guide her around, you’ll notice that she’s not using her hand for balance, but more for confidence. Once she gets over her apprehension there will be no stopping her.

 

Parents

We just completed the Seattle Rock & Roll Half Marathon a few weeks ago. For me it was just a stepping stone to finishing my first full Marathon in Portland in October. Susan and the kids will even be there to cheer me on!

 

As you may have heard, I am employed again. I stopped working in February and started up again in April. Don’t let people fool you, the check you get from unemployment is not enough to freeload off of!

 

Susan is taking up baking as a hobby. I for one look forward to tasting all of her concoctions, whether they turn out the way she wanted them to or not. It has been a while since I have gotten to eat cake batter directly from the bowl… yummy!

 

Stay Tuned…

Well those are about all the updates I have time for right now. I will continue to update this blog, so do not dispair! Your subscription is not in vain! We’re just parents of busy and increasingly mobile twins, so give us a minute to wake up please :)
