Twins in the San Joaquin Herald

This morning, around 8:30, one of my Mom of Twins friends calls me to tell me my girls were in the San Joaquin Herald newspaper this morning.

She assumed I already knew since their names were in the paper and I said, thank you for calling and I said yes, the photograher came right up to us and took a photo.

Then, my sister in law called me to tell me the same thing, about "A&E"'s photo, a 5x7 photo too, on the front page of the Valley Section.

By the end of the day, that being today, Daddy and Mommy purchased 8 copies of the San Joaquin Herald so I can give one to my Dad and Mom and "A&E"'s GG. And of course to keep one for each baby and Mommy and Daddy.

How fun is it when your babies are photographed and put in your local paper...IT IS FUN!!

I tried to find their photo online, but this newspaper does not have a dedicated website.

Anyway, the photos I have showing below are almost like the one the photographer took.

Two Hour Thursday's By Myself

Since today, we all woke up at 7:30ish, "A&E" did not go down for a nap unitl 12PM.

That is right, I had them stay up until 12 Noon so they would only take one nap today.

That one nap worked out wonderfully because when my two hour sitter came at 2PM, "A&E" were still sleeping. This meant that Twin "A" did not have to see Mommy leaving and Mommy hear and see her water works flow from her eyes and broken heart.

When I got home at 4ish, all three were playing in the family room and Twins "A"&E were so happy to see Mommy and no tears.

I like this schedule now as you can see for this very reason.

No tears, no broken hearts, no worries.

Mommy gets some rest, some peace and a little break from my sweeties.

Twin Mommy's, take note, even you need a break to keep your sanity in check.

More 4th of July with Twins

In the evening, around 5ish, Daddy, Mommy and our sweet girls, went over to Daddy's parent's home for hot dogs, potato salad, pasta salad, green salad and watermelon.

It was HOT, HOT, HOT today. But then again, it is always HOT on the 4th of July in my city.

It reached 100 today. But with the humidity, it felt hotter.

The girls played in the backyard with their Auntie's and ran all over while talking (baby talk), laughing, smiling and just having so much fun!

As long as these little sweeties are moving or in motion, they are happy babies. It does not matter to them what day of the week it is or if it is a National Holiday.

Walk to the Park with Twins 4th of July 2007

This morning, Daddy, Mommy, Twins "A&E" walked to our park where all the big city events take place. Today, being the 4th of July or Indepenence Day, would be no different.

Even before we got to the park the heat came on strong. We knew as soon as we got home the A/C would be coming on.

Once at the park, we saw lots of venders on one side, next to the street, and on the other side, near the homes, were food and drink vendors, not to mention a sitting place for beer drinkers.

Walking around the park, with Twins "A&E" in their pink Jeep strollers, were many people playing with water guns, frisbee's there were people singing on stage.

Then, Daddy ran into an old high school friend who was passing out his church frisbee's and we got to talking for a while.

A photographer from a local newspaper too photos of my babies because they looked so cute and were wearing these cute red starred headbands Mommy got them from the Target dollar bins.

The photographer said their photo might show up in the paper and to that I said, "Alright".

After talking to Daddy's friend and pastor, we headed home. The heat was getting stronger and our sweeties had no SPF lotion on.

It was a nice morning, we did miss the parade, but next year we will go when they are older, can talk and understand a little bit more what a parade is all about.
