Well, hello there!

I'm embarrassed it has been so long since I have blogged. Trust me, it's not because there is nothing going on here at our house--that's certainly not the case. Our day to day world is often overwhelmingly busy and I guess maybe that's why I haven't written here. October is a busy month for us with some travel, some work obligations, and a certain someone's third birthday party.

The boys are getting bigger each day and it is all going by so fast. Amare is going to be three this week and it feels like yesterday that I was sitting here on the couch watching him host a WWF party in my belly (gee, I suppose it all makes sense now that I know how much energy that kid has...). The twins are 18 months old and I swear I was just up all night doing midnight and 3am diaper changes (x2), nursing sessions (x2) and swaddling babies with my perfect "back to the crib without waking" transition technique (x2). Now I am surrounded by three little people with three unique personalities who are constantly moving in three different directions. I guess I'll do a little run down on each of the boys since it's been a while but first, pictures!

Julius, aka "J"

Adrian, aka "AA" --notice his swollen eye from a pesky mosquito bite on his eyelid!
