Homemade Cooler

The twins celebrated their 1 year birthday yesterday, and while we had all the food ordered in advance, i totally forgot to buy beer for the party...and with all the screaming in the house, beer would be a pretty large priority...
allison went to the supermarket at the last minute and bought some, but it was warm...thanks to the snow we got on Friday though, I transformed the patio table into a cooler, and all was well in the world.

One year down...

Hard to believe that its already been a year since the twins were born, but on 2/23/07, Luke and Madison arrived....While the first 6 months were pretty chaotic, the 2nd half of the year was a little more manageable....

A few of the key numbers for the year...

• 4500 - the number of dollars spent at babies r us
• 8550 - number of diapers changed
• 7 - number of nannies that have come in and out of the house
• 2 - Avg hours of sleep per night for first 4 months
• 75 - percentage of time this year that at least one of our kids was sick
• 58 - trips to the pediatrician
  
• 24,000 - approximate number of ounces of formula used

all adds up to a pretty amazing year, and wouldnt trade it for anything....

The Twins and their Flux Capacitor

Nothing gives a parent more joy than watching their kids spend mindless time in front of the television watching Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future..
