New opportunities are on the horizon

When I first started blogging about two years ago, it was a way to journal and keep in touch with friends and family. I began posting occasionally about what Derrick and I were up to. And then I started writing about my pregnancy and sharing bump pictures every step of the way. After deciding not […]

7 months!

Happy 7 months to Corbin and Lynley. They have really hit a growth spurt this month, and both babies are little giggle boxes! FEET! Corbin weighs about 15 pounds! He is wearing size 3 diapers and 3 to 6 month and some 6 month clothes. He can sit up for short periods of time and […]

A little brag

A couple of weeks ago, I posted about getting outside with the babies. I showed you our new tent and blanket and let you know how we liked it. Well, that little review is getting some attention! I also shared it with some fellow moms of twins on a facebook fan page of a website […]

A sale, a party, a sunburn

Our Saturday began at 5:00a.m. Thank you Corbin and Lynley for waking up an hour early!

We made off with almost $300 in profit and sold […]

Baby Dedication: A promise to Corbin and Lynley and to God

Corbin and Lynley were dedicated at church on Sunday, Mother’s Day. I can’t think of a better way to have spent the day than celebrating our faith and our many blessings. So what is a baby dedication? We, along with several other parents, publicly acknowledged that our children have been entrusted to us by God […]

My first Mother’s Day

I feel so incredibly blessed to be celebrating this day today. I’ve wanted to become a mother for many years, and God has truly answered my prayers by letting me be Corbin and Lynley’s mommy. This day that I have waited for couldn’t have been more beautiful. Derrick and the babies bought me a new […]

Wordless Wednesday: Crawling?

What crazy ways did your baby learn to crawl? Face crawling? “Swimming?” On the play mat… In her crib… On the play mat again… On top of her brother!
