MMTH Babies Bonanza!

It really does. It’s still really hard to conceptualize the fact that they aren’t going to be little kids forever. That this is the only time in our lives that we’re going to enjoy each other just as we are right now. It makes me feel sad and scared. I wish I could just enjoy…

A few weeks ago I; a drowsy father, made my way up to The Twins’ bedroom to help Phoenix with a post-bedtime toileting issue. She had more energy than I did for sure. While she was washing her hands she loudly demanded to know: Phoenix: “WHAT’S DAT ON YOUR SHIRT!?” (Pronounced…..Shoyt) I happened to be…

I think I’ve tried to fit a few posts in here and there between February and now, but was thwarted by login issues. This morning I had the time to get in through the back via our hosting platform. When I got into the site admin I felt the discomfort of all the plugin update…

THE HAT Mercury has a hat with two pom poms on it that he really loves. He loves to wear it inside the house and often won’t part with it until bed time. The best combination is the hat, a big pink sweatshirt with polka dots on it and no pants. He looks so funny,…

These are just a few things to remember before I forget. They come from different points in time between when I used to regularly update this and now. Bath Time I really like how Mercury says Bath Time. He says it like “Bass Time” and he gets excited about it. He used to get really…

Time marches on. Ever relentlessly. And time for blogging is scarce, mostly due to fatigue. After about 9.5 hours of work and commuting followed by 3.5 hours of child care the last thing I want to do is sit down and blog about the children. No. I want to watch TV with Tiff or play…

I just haven’t written anything here in a while. But we’re all still alive and growing. Even me! Growing Old. So are these two! They can walk independently now and are just cruising along like the little toddlers they are. After a month or two of being “Tabies” I can say with confidence that they’re…

Holy cats what a ride. You’ll note that updates to this blog stopped around the time they started moving around. This is no coincidence. As most of the readers of this blog are also caretakers for the P & M; most of you will then know, caring for Phoenix & Mercury is a big job.…

So this is a pretty desperate text-only post. I’ll go back later and retroactively add pictures…maybe…..I hope. Obviously keeping up with this is hard because DUH! Twins. And as I will illuminate they keep needing more and more attention. But at this juncture I’d like to invite ANYONE who spends time with P & M…

[This post is incomplete and was just sitting unpublished as a draft….I’m publishing it for posterity’s sake] Just skipping right over 7 months? What happened? Twins happened. Twins that can crawl around and do math and eat pineapples and trick their daddy. Twins that can shake their heads “no” and twins that poop. Twins that…
