Birthday Bash

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 [...]

A Day in the City

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 [...]

New Milestones

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

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

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 [...]

11th Hour

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 [...]

New Beginnings

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 [...]

Justice Raw!

Justice Raw!

For the last several month Ebru and I have been making a game of what traits Justice and Jasmine have from one of us.  As far as looks Jasmine looks just like Ebru at her age.  Justice has a mark on his left ear, exactly where I have mine.  The list goes on and on. [...]

Playtime at 7 1/2 Months

Playtime at 7 1/2 Months

After our breaking point last week God finally showed us some mercy.  Justice and Jasmine are starting to interact a little bit more, sleep at little bit longer, and laugh more child-like.  The road to this point hasn’t been easy, but it sure is refreshing. If we put them face-to-face, they will definitely acknowledge each [...]

A Day At The Park

A Day At The Park

Not much happened this weekend.  However, it was a great weekend to be outside.  We took full advantage and took Justice and Jasmine to the nearby park.  We are fortunate enough to live walking distance to one of the biggest parks in our area. The park has two dog parks, several baseball fields, a huge [...]
