gemma went as Matilda for her school book week character day. and that slight smile is hiding her first ever wobbly tooth.
come on tooth fairy, we are ready.

clover finally has enough hair for a ponytail. a wispy, straggly, wish of a ponytail. i wonder how old she will be when she gets her first haircut.

kieran has found that he has pockets and like the littlest of tiny men, stands around with his fat baby hands shoved into them..

but at the end of the day, they are still all my babies.
we are just gearing up to enter the tooth fairy phase…bring it on!
they are crazy…thanks for asking.

kids wear things on their heads…right? cause all i can think about is the little boy from the movie “parenthood” who walks in circles with a bucket on his head, so um, please say your normal kids do this too.
oh and photo info…shot these with my new Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. not bad.
why were my kids the only ones with paint in their hair? I am going to have to buy hooded art smocks.


thank you universe for this activity so that i do not have to do much “art” at home with them yet.
i forgot to take the D3 with me, so these phone shots are the best i could do…probably a good thing as the phone got a little “decoration” by the twins.

clover went back to the hospital today to meet with her metabolic team. she walked in the door and marched off towards the elevators. i was merely there to keep up with her and push the stroller holding our bags. you would never know that only a year ago, she was stuck in a bed in the same hospital. clearly she does not hold a grudge.
her report was good and as long as she does not get sick (come on spring!), she does not need to return for five whole months. they even let her skip out of the blood draws this time. i know that we can manage this and more importantly, she can manage this. she is so tiny, but strong.
it was amazing to spend the whole day with just clover. i feel like we really bonded today. we laughed, we held hands, we did what she wanted. i have said it before, but i mean it this time…i am going to make a day a week where i spend time with each twin by themselves. what cool little people they are.
today’s 365 shot with the cameraphone just had to be with my clover jane.

when she needs to be. for the most part, we are done with the baby bottles…

but some nights, this is what she needs. and what she needs, she gets. we are suckers like that.
(more bali pictures soon)
