Baby B

February 4, 2018 – 3:14 pm

When you have twins, the first baby to come out is Baby A or, in our family, Owen. The second baby to come out is Baby B—James. At 4 lbs., 15 oz., Owen was almost twice the size of James at birth. Owen was released from the NICU first. He slept through the night first. […]

    James and Owen are 8! They live life with great intensity (take that for all it means). They love Minecraft and Legos and baseball and Nerf toys and their freedom to run down the street to their friend’s house and gum and YouTube and pop rock and hikes and chess and sometimes, still, snuggling. It’s often strange for me to think about how much you can love two people who you didn’t even know 8 years ago. But then it’s also not. Love you, buds. This kid, after spending all day outside at field day, has thrown herself into birthday preparation mode, making the icing, decorating the cupcakes, even creating a fondant solar system for god’s sakes. And I’m so grateful for the help. Not so weepy about 10 anymore. Actually pretty much loving it. Eye rolls aside. Andy gets the kids dressed in the morning. She’s been hanging her robe up on the same hook as mine. I think James is ready for summer. (Also, we love his teacher.) Sophie on the high-wire unicycle on her class field trip to COSI. She did a great job until she got stuck and had to be rescued by a worker with a giant hook below. Maybe my slow flow yoga class is still in my head but this moment has made me (mostly) forget their hollering about the rules of “pig” as soon as I got home. Homework on the porch weather. To be 10 and sitting in the shade of a tree on a hot spring Sunday with only a bag of books, drawing supplies and slime to take up your time. Mom ❤️ 4 generations “Aren’t we lucky to be mothers,” my grandma said. Release party for “Ingenious Mechanicks.” Congrats, @lostartpress! We celebrated Mother’s Day with Andy’s Mom yesterday. She will do anything for these kids and they are loving her living so close now. We are lucky to have her in our lives. Making her grandma a Mother’s Day apple pie. Friday night lights with this cute little catcher (O!)
