Two will be half the work of one, right?
and we have already forgotten what life was like before 2 kids. I had my first outing without either child, to do the weekly shop. I was in the supermarket for precisely 13 mins. I was out of the house for 23 mins total, and Tony unpacked all the shopping in 5 mins. Granted I [...]
We arrived too late to decorate cup-cakes, but Thomas and Hannah were perfectly happy with celery instead … miracles do happen!
Thomas and Lucija decorating pumpkins. (We know it’s a bit early but it’s traditional at this fair.)
Theo would like you to know that it’s possible for a growing babe to starve, and he means STARVE, in 30 mins between feeds.

We had a little hiatus as the last remnants of Hurricane Ike blew through KY and knocked out power at the data centre.
But boy are we back. Last Thursday Theo had a check up and he weighed 9lbs 10/11. We didn’t see clearly. Today, I weighed him again: 10lbs 10 oz. Yes, I do have [...]
“Coffee, Mummy?”
“Actually it’s tea.”
“Um (I’m) drinkin’ tea too. Yee (See) tea.” Thomas peers into my cup.
