Today was Nate's Preschool Orientation and I was super excited to be playing the role of "mom" and not the role of teacher! Last year I was pregnant and very uncomfortable and had to miss Nate's Orientation. This year I wasn't going to skip it just because I knew what was going to happen. I mean . . . I typed up the...
Currently I'm in denial about a few things - 1) My babies...my twin boys...are getting ready to turn 1 year old! It doesn't officially happen until September 4th - but we are celebrating with a little family party this weekend. Tomorrow in fact. I'm going to try not to cry. 2) I'm in denial that school is...

Then Jerry went away and I was too exhausted to read - not too exhausted to sleep, which...
Last week was wonderful! We had so much fun doing things as a family...getting out of the house...relaxing and spending time with loved ones. We ended up going to the Science Center, Zoo and Kennywood Park! We spent 2 days just hanging out outside and catching some rays by the little blow up pool in my parents' back yard. We grilled good food....
