Everyone always asks how we do it with two babies. My answer is simple... patience and timing. Also, having two babies means that one always has a playmate. When I need to be loading the dishwasher or balancing the checkbook I don't feel so guilty putting Baby A down on the floor to play because she has someone to play with , Baby B! The twins have certainly reached the point where they recognize us... they light up when we come to get them in the morning and when we are reunited after a work day but they also recognize each other. It must be odd in their little minds when they say something to themselves like, "oooh look at that one... it's a mommy face" or "that looks like my daddy face" or "oooh look at that one, no furry stuff on his face" but how queer it would be to think "hmmm, I know I've seen that face before, why, it looks like MY face... i'll stare at it, grab for it, oooh it squeaks like me!"
Nick and I have been on a Scrabble kick lately. Last night I asked him, "Are you at peace with the fact that you are at a point in your life where you get in bed at 8p.m. on a Saturday night and play Scrabble with your wife?" "Absolutely" he said. I am pretty sure if I polled most 30 something men in our day and age they would be far less interested in playing scrabble in bed, twister maybe. (sorry)

Whatever, scrabble is totally in these days. Especially if you play it in bed :-) Very hip.
I totally agree with the playmate thing. Even though I don't have kids (yet), when I babysit, it is always so much easier when there are two. You don't have to constantly entertain either one of them if they have each other.
Also, Andrew and I are 23 years old and we would much rather be curled up in bed at 9pm or playing scrabble than going out. You guys have a reason to be like that...you have kids. I guess we are just weird!
Your pic up top looks great. It took me a LONG time to make those little guys but in the end I think it was worth it. Glad you liked them!
As for bed early and Scrabble I say BRING IT ON! One day I might even win one! :-)
The man makes candy too huh ?? Cool
