Birthday Bash
Jasmine and Justice’s 1st birthday is here and gone. We celebrated their big day at home with just a few good friends and family. I am sure they will not remember what happened and who was there, but take it from us, they had a good day. First of all we’d like to thank everyone [...]

New Beginnings
Justice and Jasmine are about to hit their 8-month milestone. I say it’s a milestone because this month has been a month of changes, not because it’s a milestone number. The changes include improved sleeping habits, better appetite of baby foods, and longer periods of playtime. These changes give us some relief so we can [...]

What Baby Books Left Out
Well it’s been over 5 1/2 months now and it still hasn’t gotten better. In fact it’s gotten worse. Either that or I am so tired that my whole prospective on life and parenting has turned upside down. I’m drained and exhausted!

Parenthood 101
It’s only been 2 months into parenthood and we’re burnt! Grandma left last Saturday so this is the first week that we have had Jasmine and Justice to ourselves. It’s been challenging to say the least. I have a new appreciation for mothers, especially mothers of multiples.

Lessons
Respect
I just did a search on our own site and didn’t find anything on respect. I should have wrote about this important lesson earlier, but I guess it wasn’t the right time. Now that you two are here and getting older, you need to know about respect. There are many meanings of respect, but in [...]

Food
Frugal Friday at G.V. Hurley’s
Lately I’ve been writing about the state of the economy. We are not immune to cut backs in our household. We still like to dine out when we can so we’ve been looking for deals on the net and from deals from local restaurants. If you live anywhere near Sacramento, then you have to take [...]

Birthday Countdown

A Day in the City
Last weekend we had a wonderful time in San Francisco. It was the first time Justice and Jasmine got to visit Grandma at her resting place and the first time that Ebru got a chance to hook up with her friend Filiz from Turkey. Our road trip started from Elk Grove. It was our first [...]
Nispiros Live Webcam
Hi All, This is our live webcam. It’s not always on, but when it is you’ll get to see Jasmine and Justice playing, sleeping, or crying lol. Watch live streaming video from nispiros_portal at livestream.com This 2nd webcam player is for use with our iPhones and used as a room monitor.
This is how we roll
We recently swapped out our Graco travel system car seats with new Britax Boulevard seats. Let me tell you, so far they have made a world of difference as far as Justice and Jasmine’s overall comfort and mood. First of all, the Graco seats were getting too small. They always seem to get fussy after about [...]
New Milestones
Jasmine and Justice are nearly 11 months old. It’s an exciting yet challenging time in our household. They are starting to stand and to make baby steps. They are also teething. The combination of their excitement of them standing with the pain of their teething makes for a confusing environment. We were there when Justice [...]
Wonder Twins
The fun thing about having twins is that you get to dress them up alike just for kicks. In our case we have a lot of blues and pinks. We also have a lot of matching ‘I love Daddy’ and ‘I love Mommy’ t-shirts. The combination of outfits are almost endless. At our first and [...]
Family Vacation
It has been a month and a half since my last post. I believe it’s the longest break I’ve ever taken from blogging since I started several years ago. In this time we have gone to Hell and back. It was time for a much needed vacation. Little did we know that this vacation was [...]
Fairytale Town
Last weekend the weather cooperated and we were able to take Jasmine and Justice out of the house. After breakfast we headed out to Fairytale Town in Sacramento. We both haven’t been there but have seen it on our way to the Sacramento Zoo and have heard of this place on TV. We were pleasantly [...]
11th Hour
Wow I can’t believe I’m going to be 30-something again in a few hours. Not! Mentally I don’t feel any older, but physically and emotionally, I have one foot in the grave lol. Today was a good pre-birthday day. It started with a massage, then lunch at Mikuni’s Sushi. Couldn’t ask for anything more. While [...]
