Must be a blue moon...

Because here I am, posting more pictures of the twins - and it's only been, like, one day since the last post! You've all got to extend many thanks to the Mrs., she got some really cute pictures of the two of them today. Here they are -

Alex loves to swing, and sleep

New twin pictures...

Are coming soon - I swear!! I haven't had a lot of free time to post any new ones, but I do have some and I will be putting them up here as soon as I possibly can. It's been a really busy month so far, and August looks to be pretty hectic too. But I will try to keep posting new pics for the adoring masses to view - in fact, if I can possibly arrange it, I might be able to put some up tonight. I'll do my best!

Happy 4th of July!

Here are the twins in their July 4th outfits -

This is a great picture - just had to share! My boy will latch onto just about anything when he's hungry...

Everyone's favorite - More pictures of the twins!

They look so sweet in pictures, you'd never know that they like to keep Mommy and Daddy up till 4am... But, there's no question - we love them!


They like being close to each other

We're still all doing OK, and will be in the hospital for a couple more days. The wife and I are really tired (of course), and yet we still could not possibly be happier. More to come soon!

Pictures of the new arrivals

A little earlier than we were anticipating, but it was deemed necessary by our OB - so we came to the hospital last night, and after 8+ hours of monitoring in the Labor & Delivery Triage center and 1 C-Section (we were C-Section (lucky) number 13 of the day), here we all are -


What a happy family, eh?


Alex


Mara


And the twins with Grandma and Grandpa D (The wife's parents)

We are tired (especially the wife), but so very, very happy to have our perfect little twins with us - FINALLY! It's been a long road getting here, but it's been worth it. More pictures to come soon - promise!

Baby news

Now, don't get excited - they haven't been born yet. We had a close call last weekend, spent Saturday night and Sunday morning at the hospital because of contractions - but they stopped, and were never serious labor contractions. The wife has been on 100% bed rest for the last couple weeks. No big deal though - she was already on bed rest before that. She's seeing the OB twice a week now - we had our last appointment this past Thursday, but no new ultrasounds (unfortunately), since the twins are stacked on top of each other - fun! Shouldn't be too much longer now, the OB has set a date for a scheduled C-Section, June 5th. If it goes that long, that is - who knows? We could be having babies any day now, right now it's a 'wait and see' kind of thing.
I'll post something as soon as anything changes - promise!

Spinal Tap reuniting? Awesome!

Looks like Spinal Tap will reunite for Live Earth, performing at Wembley Stadium in London July 7. There will also be a new 15 minute 'mock'umentary, directed by Rob Reiner, and premiering on the opening night of Tribeca Film Festival. The director said the new short film explains what the band has been doing with their lives lately. Nigel has been raising miniature horses to race, but can't find jockeys small enough to ride them; David is now a hip-hop producer who also runs a colonic clinic; and Derek is in rehab for addiction to the Internet. Also, there will be a new single coming out, the title is "Warmer Than Hell" - I can't wait!!

A much needed laugh - Alanis Morrisette doing 'My Humps'

Oh, man did I need this! Watch Alanis's version of 'My Humps' - funny!!


My hump, my hump...

Pictures of my poor Vue

Here are a few pictures I took yesterday of my poor wrecked (yep folks, it's a total loss) 2006 Saturn Vue -

Sad, isn't it? I just got the car at the beginning of February - we'd only made 1 payment on it!!

But, thanks to the wonderful people at Saturn North (and the fact that we realized that we needed to replace the car as fast as possible, what with the upcoming birth of the twins), I have a new Vue - take a look -


My NEW 2007 Saturn Vue

I didn't really want to have to buy a new car so soon, but, it worked out to be the best thing to do under the circumstances. I'm very happy with the new Vue, and this one will surely last us a good long time.
