a schmorgasboard...

well, my intention for this post was to write about several different things and share several different pictures... however, as most things in my life right now go, i am being interrupted by a chubby-cheeked little monkey who seems to think he needs my attention more than my computer does... so very quickly, i will try to sum up what i would like to say.

i've changed the title of our family blog to stork bites: i never really warmed up to the stork's nest and i just think stork bites is more clever... :)

i'm going to try to make more of an effort to post more often, because i'm realizing that, aside from a few notes jotted down on a calendar in the nursery, the babies' first year is whizzing by, and i don't have much to show for it... except two adorable, very-much loved, chunky, did i mention adorable?, little boys... so having this as a chronicle of their little lives will be great.

some of these pictures are from the latest adventure we took up to omaha. i can't say much on this, because i've promised a best friend that she will have an entire post devoted entirely to this trip. stay tuned for that, c' lil...

the last couple of pictures of liam toppling over finn were inspired by my friend jane, who has two little twin girls who are very similar in personality to my guys. she just posted pictures from what seemed to be a very ferocious wrestling match between her little ones, and it just so happened that a few days later, i was able to capture the same thing! so thanks, JB (who promised no one was harmed in the making of that post), for not breaking up the fight and getting in on film :)...

thing 1 and thing 2, courtesy of tiff :)

finn, who doesn't appear interested, but is in fact, VERY engrossed in
the sweet potatoes before him


our family, in the hotel pool of that place i'm not supposed to mention

liam, having a grand ol' time in his jumper

the wrestling match :)

liam: i can take you, big brother
finn: oh, just wait...

and miracles of all miracles!, they DO smile at the same time
