Am so totally excited about this: we are going to see U2 in Dublin AGAIN this time with Uncle Will and it will be so friggin amazing I can hardly stand it!!! The twins and I have been on a non-stop U2 fest, they can't say the alphabet but can probably recite the lyrics to The Joshua Tree, did anyone expect anything less when I had kids?

FINALLY, the new trailer for " Where the Wild Things Are" is out. It takes alot to get me to cry these days as all of my pregnancy hormones have dissolved into a sleepless time-warp of child-rearing, but I burst into tears when the song playing was "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire. This band makes some impressively emotional electro-rock stuff, and that teamed with my favorite book for the kids was just too much. The twins watched it and started howling at the moon, like they do every night when we read this story to them and THAT didn't help either so it's been an entire morning of waterworks...

I've committed Facebook suicide. It was basically becoming this self-indulgent, quiz-taking- black-hole of time for me and I'm going cold turkey baby! So, new pics will be posted on this site from now on! I've got a paper due at the end of every month until Oct. so I can't have anymore distractions than I already have! The twins are currently coloring a book together very nicely and singing twinkle twinkle, it's the only song they can sing together! They've grown out of yet another set of clothes, it's amazing how much clothing they have...not sure where all of the hand-me-downs are going to end up? Steph, what kind of baby are you having????

Spring at Last!

Ah yes, the seasonal shift from cold and rainy to cold and rainy with occasional sun! Man, I love living the UK!  It's well into March now and a few things have come up: Firstly, Tim is having knee surgery on St. Patrick's Day, he hates St. Patrick's Day so that is quite fitting actually!  Next, I've started my LLB with the Open University for Law.  Two things strike me as I start this whole process, 1) what was I thinking and 2) what was I thinking?  It's a lot of work, but honestly, I am enjoying it.  I got a first on my first paper, which is an A so off to a good start!!  

The twins are as cute as ever, see the photos, and we are loving the fact that they are getting more mature and chatty.  Indigo is practically speaking in sentences, seemingly out of nowhere, while Cole demonstrates excellent manual dexterity by constantly eating or stealing toys away from Indigo. Cole is very clever at colors and shapes, while indigo is a fan of the alphabet and counting in Spanish. It's fun.  They have suddenly become very clingy, not sure why but I'm hoping they will snap out of it soon!!
