Once again, I have gone too long without posting any photos, so here they are. They are now 17 months old.

I grew up in the Adirondacks, where I could walk to three different lakes whenever I wanted to swim. I miss that. In college, I studied creative writing, but I knew that writing fiction would not pay my bills. So I worked my butt off to become a journalist. I met my husband at the newspaper and I loved my job. But I gave it up 11 years later when our first son was born. I'd known too many reporters who had to disappoint their kids because some idiot shot somebody 15 minutes before quitting time. I didn't want to be that kind of mom. The shift to motherhood seemed like the right time to return to my real passion: fiction. So, between stints of teaching and freelancing, I wrote a novel. (I'm still looking for an agent, but that's a topic for some other blog) I also gave birth to our daughter. Life was good as I neared my 40th birthday. We had the perfect family (I also have a grown stepdaughter)and I was writing again. Then I discovered I was pregnant. We had recovered from the shock by the time we went to my 20-week ultrasound. But we were stunned once again when we saw two little heads. For the next few hours, all I could do was laugh and cry. Life has not been the same since.

So cute! Looks like a fun way to cool off!

They are getting so big. I can't believe how grown up they all are getting.
My boys love to see pics of yours... I think they are confused about the same name thing though... sometimes they think they are pics of themselves... lol!
I enjoy your blog so much! My twin boys will have their first birthday next month. Would you mind rating the Safari wagon as well as the splash mat?
Twinboysmom, we LOVE the wagon. The wheels were a little difficult to assemble, but we knew that ahead of time from the online reviews. It has a deep foot well, which we need. My husband is 6-foot-5 and we grow huge kids. The splash mat was only $20 and you get what you pay for. One part ripped after my older son stepped on it. You are supposed to step on it to make the water squirt higher, but I think he was too heavy. One a positive note, it was easy to fix with duct tape. The boys enjoy it though. They like it much better than their pool.
Jay-say, that's so cute that your boys get confused. I can understand how they might think it's photos of them when they were little!
