Wonder Twins: October 2010
http://wondertwinsworld.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 12, 2010. Last weekend marked wedding number two for my family this year. My sister Emily married her very own Mr. Darcy on what had to have been one of the most stunning fall days on record here in Minnesota. I was Emily's "Matron" of Honor. (I'm sorry, but the word "matron" sort of sucks. I mean, why not just call me "Old Lady of Honor" or "Woman with Child-bearing Hips of Honor? Patted me on the shoulder and told me that he could see how much I loved my sister, and that he was proud o...

The tooth fairy left him a five dollar bill. That's one generous imaginary character. 4 Our 2010 Christmas card:. 6 Did I mention the boys have started reading? Like, really reading? 9 Owen lost his first baby tooth today and then promptly (albeit accidentally) dropped it down...

Wonder Twins: September 2010

Thursday, September 30, 2010. On Owen's third day of school, we received this email from his Kindergarten teacher:. We've had a great start to our Kindergarten year and Owen is doing just great. I just wanted to alert you that today he fell asleep during our body break time, and slept for nearly an hour. This is not uncommon here, but I do like to let parents know when this happens. Hopefully this won't be a problem at bedtime for you! Wednesday, September 8, 2010. OK First of all? We hope). As paren...

Wonder Twins: The Day My Five-Year-Old Kicked My Ass
http://wondertwinsworld.blogspot.com/2010/10/day-my-five-year-old-kicked-my-ass.html
Friday, October 1, 2010. The Day My Five-Year-Old Kicked My Ass. But this ass-kicking was a little less ordinary. By this. I mean that I ended up with a bloody and fat lip. A tiny part of me felt guilty for being a working mom. And based on the display my son was giving me, I felt even more guilty because a bigger part of was relieved that I do have a job to go to every day where no one yells at me for things that are out of my control. Whooooooo-boy. Did he fly off the handle then. The Master Butchers S...

Sunday, May 9, 2010. Happy Mother's Day to my mentor, my friend, my mom. Mom and me, 1979. Tuesday, May 4, 2010. Today marks the eighth anniversary of one of the best days of my life. The day I married my husband. We began our anniversary with a sick kid, a trip to Target for Children's Tylenol, and several cups of strong coffee because we didn't sleep too well last night due to the sick kid. A sick kid, who by the way, seemed to miraculously recover just a half-hour. Preschool began for the day. After f...

Wednesday, July 14, 2010. Life is Good at the Lake. Here are some recent photos from our July 4th holiday weekend at Trout Lake.

Wonder Twins: December 2010
http://wondertwinsworld.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 17, 2010. To Owen Michael, On Your 6th Birthday. I was reminded of this same moment a few months ago. Your dad and I were getting ready for bed, and as always, I crept into your dark room to kiss you and Will one more time before I went to sleep. Imagine my brief moment of sheer panic when I discovered you were not in your bed! You rode that bike perfectly on the first try! Look Ma, No Training Wheels! Owen, words can’t express how proud I. A list of your favorites:. And Home Alone 2.
