Today Jacqueline wanted to wear her new dress. Not just any dress, but a dress made by her Grammy. So, here she is, in her birthday dress, and she is happy to show it off.
Some folks had difficulty accessing the pictures onΒ the Sky Drive so I have re-posted in this format. Hopefully this works better. Thanks for your patience. We hadn’t really celebrated with birthday parties for the…

This morning, yes, April 11th, the twins were playing on the floor near me and they broke out in song. Today’s song was a lengthy, 3-year old inspired, rendition of the Spring Classic, Jingle Bells.…
From the other room I hear the twins singing their best version of βTwinkle Twinkle Little Starβ, then the singing ends; abruptly. I hear the rapid pitter-patter of Jacquelineβs feet (one bare, one with a…
Theodore and Jacqueline asked me for a snack. In this case they wanted some fruit snacks. Or as Theodore says, “fruit nacks”. As I rose to get them their snacks, I asked, “What do you…

I am telling you, I could not make this stuff up. This happened yesterday and I wrote it down almost as quickly as it happened so I wouldn’t forget. So, I walked into the room…
Jacqueline was sitting on the floor, playing with our cat, Demetrius, also known as “Meeches”. She was holding the cat on her lap when she turned to me and said, “Meeches wants to be a…
I can’t help myself, and I really don’t want to, if it means that I should stop thinking about the kids, the parents, the school faculty, the first responders, the families, and the community surrounding…
The twins and I were out and about for a little while this morning and I had to share some commentary from the back row of the van. First, “London Bridge” was playing on the…

As promised, Halloween 2012 pictures. I know this was back in early November (thanks to SS Sandy), but I have been busy. Actually, thereβs no excuse. Better late than never. So, here they are; Cinderella…

My little sponges Jacqueline and Theodore while playing in the family room this morning, were carrying on as if completely alone. First, Jacqueline, while carrying a stuffed animal dog, was babbling lyrics. In this order,…
Every once in a while the twins will ask me if we can go to the airport. Itβs only a 20 minute ride at the most. We do visit quite a bit and weβve found…

This is Theodore executing, perfectly, a timeout. Notice in his left hand is his trusty sidekick, McQueen. I put these pictures up because theyβre cute and they also reflect an illustration of behavior. If we…
Theodore leans forward to hug his sister Jacqueline while out on the dock at Abrams Pond.
Yesterday the twins and I made a stop at the airport as we often do. This time we went to a different location alongside a long runway that runs East-West. This place has a larger…

Yesterday I let the twins pick out their own socks. After several socks were put on, swapped, doubled up, and traded, this is what they ended up with. They thought that pants were not necessary…
