My Hopes

We know you are both too young to understand this, but you come from family with little riches and high hopes.  We are humbled by the success of others and wish the best for you.  We can only pass our values and what little you see around you.  We have worked hard to get to [...]

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 open [...]

Yappity Jasmine

Jasmine is on a roll this week – Look Who’s Talking Now.  When she was quite, we were wondering when she might start talking.  Now that she’s talking, we’re wondering when she’ll stop lol.  Not because she’s talking too much, but because she’s loud.  We have to ’shhhh’ her especially when it comes time to [...]

Theme Crazy!

For the last couple of weeks I’ve obsessed with my site themes.  I must have tried over a dozen of themes.  I’ve had dark themes, light themes, two-column, three-column themes and more.  You name it, I’ve had it.  This time I found the right one!
I know I’m saying that now, but this time it’s for [...]

Look Who’s Talking Now

For the last two weeks Justice has been rambling on about ‘Dada‘ and ‘Mama‘.  This week was Jasmine’s turn.  She was holding a conversation with me at Olive Garden.  It’s as if she realized she had a voice and wanted to hear herself talk.  I wonder if this is a sign of things to come [...]

Justice Speaks Again!

Justice is on a roll!  Last week he said his first recognizable word, ‘Dada!’.  Yesterday he finally said, ‘Mama!’.   Again, I was lucky enough to be home to capture the moment.  We are very happy with his progress.
Jasmine is getting there.  Yesterday she started to babble just like Justice did right before he said, ‘Dada!’.  [...]

If Grandpa Could See You Now

One of the toughest things about our situation is being away from our parents.  Ebru’s family is in Istanbul and my dad is in the Philippines.  Both sides of the family are just too far.  We do what we can to bring our families closer to Justice and Jasmine.
Last Christmas we sent my dad a [...]

Justice Speaks!

Finally Justice’s baby babble has turned into recognizable speech.  At 6 months and 10 days Justice finally said ‘Dada!’.  He repeated it enough times for us to capture it on my iPhone.

We were excited to be there when he said his first words.   Hopefully his next words will be ‘Mama!’.
It’s too bad his night time [...]

Half Way There!

Last week they officially passed their 6 month milestone!  Wednesday they go for the 6 month immunization shots and check up.  We’re guessing that they are about 16lbs each and about 30 inches tall.  We think that is above the normal for kids in their age group, especially for twins.
This week we continued feeding them [...]
