How big we have become!
The girls like to curl their tiny fingers around mine and this morning I looked down at that hand and thought about how big they have grown in the last seven months. Compared to the first couple of days and weeks of their lives.

The new sleep pattern as dictated by the twins
The girls have decided to alter the evening/night schedule. As usual they have their tub between 6 and 6:30pm, have a feast and then into bed by about 7pm. They sleep quite peacefully, sometimes stirring a little, but sleep until 10:30pm. Then they figure it is time to get up. Story in particular let’s everyone on the…

Brown Bear gets a Toothbrush…and Uses It
Now that Brown Bear has her two front teeth in all their glory popping into place, she has her own toothbrush. So tonight Wifey called me up to the bathroom to get a photo of Brown Bear brushing her teeth. Wouldn’tcha know it, her camera and mine had dead batteries. I did manage to squeeze one…

A Visit to Chapters Bookstore in Coquitlam
Yesterday it was raining so much and so hard that we decided to forgo our usual neighbourhood stroll and make it an inside day. So we headed down to the Coquitlam location of Chapters to look for picture books for the twins. And coolness of all cool things, I found the best picture book on…

Meeting for The Vancouver Observer contributors
This afternoon/evening I was attending a meeting of the bloggers who contribute to the Vancouver Observer. It was a pleasure to talk with other bloggers in person, rather than only meeting up online. The most amazing thing for me though was the fact that after the meeting business was taken care (how to upload using Drupal),…

Sunday at Quan’s Kitchen on Austin

She has become very vocal in the last couple of days and lets loose these piercing squeals that can be quite shocking to some. About half way through brekkie though she started squirming and acting all goofy. If her…

Choices and plenty of fish
I was reading the Vancouver magazine the other day. They have a profile of the nerd (uber-rich nerd that is) who started up the website, plentyoffish.com. The guy is worth millions…all from Google Ads. What the hell…don’t I look genius…I start up a website to talk about being the Papa to twins. I suppose in business…

Do twins run in the family?
Today when people asked us about the twins we replied that in fact they were not twins, we had met on PlentyofFish.com and we both had babies that were the same age, purely coincidental that they were born on the same day. And then later when people asked if twins ran in the family, we…

Launch from the Planetarium
Today was a day well spent. Up early and out of the house early…around 11am. Drove to Vancouver and did a little people watching while sitting at Four Brothers Pizza enjoying a coupla slices of pizza pie. Commercial Drive is the bomb for people watching. I love being able to keep a running commentary going about…

Comic strip
My Mom cut a comic strip out of the paper for me. Picture two young females having a coffee, nicley dressed, a couple of hipsters. One saying to the other, “Norris and I have discussed having kids. We figure when we get sick and tired of proper rest, the theater, travel and having sufficient funds in…
