We have twin two-year-olds and a six-month-old. Nuff said.

What's new
Another long time between posts, sorry!! Here it is, the best 5 minutes of the day--everyone's fed, diapers are clean, and no one's crying!
Happy Birthday, Jill!!
It's Sunday morning, and our new tradition is waffles every Sunday. Mom got me a waffle iron for my birthday, and it's wonderful! I made apple waffles this morning out of the beautiful, delicious apples Aunt Janet and Uncle Rich brought us from their orchard. The boys love waffles! Plus, we have lots left over to freeze, so they are a perfect snack or breakfast any time. I found a waffle site, called waffleizer.com, and there are great waffle recipes and tales there, if you'd like to check it out!
We've had a lot going on in the past month or so. One Saturday while Chris was at work, Jen and Janine and their twinnie girls, Jordan and Syndey, and Dave and Kate, and their little boy, Jayden, came over for lunch. It was a bit crazy with 6 kids running around (well, Christian wasn't running--he was just getting held by everyone), but we all had a good time.
I went to Charlotte for our B&T Sales Meeting for 4 nights. It was the first time I'd been away from the baby, and I was sad to be away from him. Gramps came to stay with Chris and the boys while I was gone, so that was a huge help. It seemed to go OK after the first day which was hard because Christian cried a lot. He's now getting more used to the bottle, and I'm starting to wean him. I'll be gone again next week, just for 2 nights, and Gramps will come and stay again. I enjoyed my meetings, was happy to spend time with all my colleagues, and learned a lot.
This weekend is the Tucson Literacy Festival, and they're raising money for a great cause. Friday night I got to go to Tucson for the Author's Table dinner. There were 800(!) people there, and I got to sit with Alice Hoffman!! She is one of my favorite writers, and she is really nice as well. I learned a little bit more about her life, and she was gracious enough to sign the books I had brought from my personal library.
And, my brother is running for Congress!! Here is a link to his webpage. I hope you'll support him in whatever way you can! Spread the word, send money, vote for him if you live in Idaho, etc!

Note to self: EVEN if we're completely out of juice, and the boys really, really want juice, do not give them prune juice . . .
Love, j&c, m&t&c
