Voting on Dancing With the Stars Makes a Mockery of the Show
It is not that I am a huge fan of Dancing With the Stars or anything, but I have noticed something about the process of the show that does disturb me. On the first night of dancing, the legendary astronaut, 80 year old Buzz Aldrin danced like he was one of the trees that comes alive […]

The Babies’ First Swim
Yesterday we took the twins over to a friend’s place and took them SWIMMING!! And I have to say, it was crazy fun. At first Story, who we thought would be nuts about the water was very nervous, but she warmed up to the pool water fairly quickly. Annalie? From the moment her feet touched […]
