Den Of The Danimal

For the first time in ages, Janet and I didn’t get to travel up to visit with friends and play in the snow at their cabin in Dorrington. I’ve always said that I look forward all year long to hanging out up there and playing games with our friends, and this year I am [...]

People keep asking us if the girls are identical twins, and we keep telling them that we just don’t know for sure. If you missed a previous explanation, the reason is that the hospital didn’t do DNA testing because it’s not essential, and all of the things that might have indicated one way or the [...]

Okay, I know that Thanksgiving was over a week ago. We were spending time with family and I never got around to creating a new post. But the girls are so cute I wanted to share. Plus we have so much to be thankful for! It was one year ago that we shared with you [...]

The girls had their first taste of rice cereal this weekend. I don’t know if any of it made it all the way into their tummies, but at least it went in their mouths. It’s a new taste, a new texture, and a whole new method of ingesting food, so I think they’re still just [...]

We’re still really enjoying how much more vocal the girls have become in the last few weeks. A few days ago Elizabeth really got into it and chattered away for about 30 minutes straight. What is she talking about, I wonder? Or perhaps she’s singing?
Enjoy the clip.

OK, so you wouldn’t normally expect to see baby girls sunbathing by the pool on October 31st…  But that’s just what our girls did today.  You see, a while ago we somehow acquired a bathing suit (just one), and since there’s just no way the suit will still fit them when summer rolls around, and [...]

Wow, it’s already late October, and we missed the 5 month update opportunity a couple weeks ago! I’m pleased to say that Carolyn and Elizabeth are both doing very well. They’ve managed to stay healthy, even though I recently got slammed with a flu virus or something that lasted for about 10 days. Fortunately, it [...]

Over the last few months I got a little behind schedule in processing and editing the video footage we took of the girls, but recently I’ve been working to get caught up again. Here are a few highlights! The first clip shows some of the first genuine giggles from either of the girls, and strangely [...]

I had a “girls day” with Carolyn and Elizabeth today. Dan had an opportunity to spend the day geocaching with his Dad in Santa Cruz. I realized I haven’t spent the day alone with the girls since I started back to work full time a month ago. We went out and did some errands this [...]

Ever since the girls were born, people have asked us, “Who do they look like?” I wasn’t really sure, and in fact was having a hard time seeing a resemblance at all. Part of the problem is that, unfortunately, I just don’t have very many baby pictures to compare with! But recently we dredged up [...]
