It has been a few months since I picked up the camera. There are usually less opportunities to shoot anything interesting during the winter months and I think I was a little burned out by the time winter set in anyway. Recently I pulled out the camera to use it on shoot for BTS photos […]

I know we’re late to the party on this one. Our kids have not been brushing daily and even though they’re 4 and 6 years old they’ve never had a checkup. We always planned on it but never got around to it. It was always just one more thing out of reach of our schedules. […]

The morning of December 31st Andrew woke up with a slight fever and not seeming at his best. Shortly after we noticed what appeared to be a chick pox blister on his face, and then a few more on his body. By the next morning it was pretty clear he had a full outbreak of […]

It’s still amazing to me how different Christmas is when you have kids. In your own way, you become a kid again through their eyes. It’s great to see how excited they are, and this year more than any year in the past they were all counting the days down until Santa would arrive. This […]

More than any year in the past, the kids were really into getting the Christmas decorations out and up. Andrew asked me on more than one occasion when we were putting lights on the house (the real answer is maybe never, but I told him not this year). Also the kids has the great treat […]

In recent weeks Max has really taken to roll playing as a teacher. If you watch him closely while he’s “teaching” you can really get a sense of what his day is probably like. While he normally tries to recruit is brother or sister to be his students (Sydney usually goes along with it, Andrew […]

A few weeks ago the kids received a surprise from the mail man. Left on the porch was a box of joy, from none other than Santa Aunt Shirley. It took us about a week to finally open the box (we knew we would need to set some serious time aside when they could indulge) […]

We are always trying new things to help Max progress and catch up what’s considered age appropriate. One of the areas I personally feel he needs the most help is with his speech. It’s pretty clear when you talk to him that he doesn’t master the English language at the same level that his twin […]
