Without going into a huge amount of detail, I’m happy with McCain being the current republican front runner. I’m torn as far as democratic candidates go… on one hand I think Hilary would be a lot easier for us to beat, but then there’s always the small risk of her actually being elected, in which case I would probably flee the country. I don’t like Obama one bit, he’s too celebrity-ish and inexperienced to be president, but anything is better than Hilary.

I dunno, really. I just make it work I guess. I answered a similar recently, basically the girls have been on a good schedule since they came home and that has helped more than anything in making sure it’s not non stop chaos around here. I get time for the things I want to do while they are sleeping or playing with each other.

Yes, our pregnancy with the girls was planned. Well, we planned for one and got two! We would love to have more kids and we are planning on trying for another very soon. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Hmm…. Well probably going to Vegas with Preston the day after we met… that was pretty wild and spontaneous!

Congrats on your twins!!! We managed to get ours to sleep through the night early on with a consistent schedule and serious self discipline! You have to resist giving in and doing anything it takes to get them to go back to sleep, for example, bringing them into the bed with you every night. I will post a link to some good resources in a blog post soon. That way you can see what we used as a guideline because I’m sure I can’t explain it thoroughly enough. Every baby can sleep through the night - and in their own bed - at an early age, you just have to be willing to sacrifice a few nights of sleep! I’m NO expert though, so I’ll send you those links.

Aw thanks! Well, the girls are on a nice flexible schedule so every day I know the general time frames that they will be napping. They take 2-3 naps a day so that gives me about 2-3 hours or so to do other things. Also when they are playing in their jumpers or playing on the ground with each other I have time for other things. At night is when I really get things done though. They go to bed around 8-9pm and sleep until 8-9am so that gives me a lot of time to do whatever I want!

I love hearing from long time readers! Thank you for the compliment on my photos! I use a Canon Digital Rebel XT with a Canon Speedlite 420EX Flash. Hope this helps!

Thanks! I think you mean stars tattoo. I didn’t really think it hurt when I got either of them. Well, of course it didn’t feel really good but it’s a weird kind of hurt. Kind of addicting! Neither of my tattoos stretched when I was pregnant.

I do remember your sites. Preston is a professional photographer and a web developer. He also does business and web consulting. And right now he’s in training to be a professional pilot.

Thanks! I was completely excited! I had a feeling I was having twins… I had a dream about a week before my first sonogram that I was having twins and ever since that dream I just kind of knew. I wasn’t too surprised when we saw the two little astronauts floating around! That’s exactly what they looked like! See?

I haven’t decided yet… perhaps… If so it would be something business management or web development related. But most likely web development.

Yep I still have Gus. He is in the back yard most of the time in the summer so he hasn’t been around them very much yet. He’s very curious about them and gets really hyper around them so I haven’t really let him be around them a lot.

Well, we had pretty much picked out the name Charlotte when we were trying to get pregnant and assuming we were having just one! I don’t remember if we really tossed around other names… I’ve loved that name and always wanted to use it and Preston agreed with the choice. After we found out we were having twins, Ava had been a choice of mine after being reminded how pretty the name was from a Nip/Tuck episode! So I suggested Ava, and Preston loved the name and he then suggested Emma and the two fit perfectly together so after that we couldn’t come up with any other names we liked as much so Emma and Ava was it! I picked Claire for Emma’s middle name at the airport after hearing a mother call after her adorable little toddler named Claire. Preston picked Grace for Ava’s middle name because he just liked it.

Jesus, George W. Bush, and Oprah.

Definitely Star Wars and XBox.

Of course I do silly! :-P

I always suck at answering these kinds of questions lol! Anyway, in 5 years I see myself with 1 more kid, owning my house, and being successful with my new projects I’m starting.
