Super Twin Mommy

No, I am not talking about me...I am talking about a lady in Winston Salem, NC who gave birth to twins with a combined weight of over 23 lbs! Below is the link to her story.

A Very Long Week!




Below is Bob's post from his work blog. I just haven't had time to write one of my own about the girls 1st birthday and our move.
Also here are two recent pictures on the girls. Do you know who is who? :)

After a little more than a week away from work, I’m back. Sadly, it wasn’t much of a vacation, but at the same time it will be a week that will stay with my family for the rest of our lives.
If you’re a reader of The Couch you know my our daughter’s turned a year old on May 30th. A great day of family, fun, and tears of joy. That was followed up by a larger get-together of family and friends on June 1st which included a little alcohol and a turn on the slip-and-slide (Roger, it will make a return appearance this summer!). When the festivities were over on Sunday, so too was our time at our first house.

Kelli and I closed on a new house on June 2nd ending a very hectic four-day period. While the move wasn’t geographically a long one, it was still something very big for us. We were leaving the house where our lives together really started and where we became a family.
Luckily, that’s where the house will stay. In the family. My brother-in-law Gordon will do what he wants with it and move in sometime this summer. Hopefully long enough into the summer that I can finally clear out the attic and garage. Regardless of when it’s finally clear of our belongings, that house will always be full of our memories. They weren’t all good ones, but they were all ones Kelli and I went through together, so it’s nice that piece of us remains very close.
As for the new house and the move, it was a very long week capped off with a very warm Saturday. After four days of painting bedrooms and bathrooms (mom, couldn’t have done it without you) Saturday’s heat wasn’t what we needed. Roger (Kaitlyn’s Godfather) is a firefighter at Camp Lejeune and mentioned the term “Black Flag” which basically means the weather is too extreme for training at the base. We were moving during “Black Flag” conditions, and believe me, I’m no Marine. The fact that we moved in the 100-plus degree weather proves I’m not smart enough. All in all it was a good day and couldn’t have been done without Roger, Gordon, Mike, Kate, Corina and my wife Kelli.

Another chapter of our life is begining.
