We got a lot of snow over night/early this morning. I mean a lot. In fact, shortly before these were taken, Emily and I went and pushed our neighbor through where she got stuck in the middle of the road.
Anyway, my van was stuck in the drive. My wonderful daughter decided she’d shovel the drive for me. She’s so cool. That’s her on the right. She was working hard. She got a lot done. Then after a bit, I hear the noise of a snow blower. That’s our neighbor, Lou. He’s not the one who got stuck. She’s in the next house over from Lou. Well, as I was watching Lou snow blow his drive, the contrast of how hard Emily was working and how quickly Lou was working. It made me really want to go out and buy a snow blower. I couldn’t of course, because my van was stuck in the drive way. About 5 minutes after I took these pictures, this happened:
That’s Lou snow blowing our sidewalk. He went ahead and did the whole driveway. He’s so cool. I think we’re going to go back him cookies or brownies or something now.
One newborn is pretty tricky. But, toss in a twin and it really is double trouble!! This was my first go at twins, and I definitely learned one very valuable lesson: bring a change of clothes! There are three different ways a baby can”get” you and I was lucky enough to be gotten all three ways.
On the upside, being around these little newborn twins took me back to my own early days as a new twin mom. My guys are 9 now, and while they don’t “get” me the same ways these little newborns did, they certainly have their own ways.
Good luck to this mama as twins make 6 for your family. It’s a crazy and wild ride, that’s for sure!

I really should be doing one of the million other things I need to do before vacation starts, but I simply could not resist sharing this adorable little guy with you. Josiah is two weeks old and nearly back to his TEN POUND birth weight. Yes, that’s right. TEN POUNDS. Let us all have a moment of silence for the strength of his mama. Ok. Now, enjoy this portrait in all its yummy-ness.
