I hate thieves


Someone stole my wallet out of my car today, drained my business checking account, as well as my personal savings, charged up my credit card and completely ruined my evening. I so hate thieves.

In addition to monetary problems, my State Bar Card was in there, along with the social security cards belonging to my daughters and me. I know, I know, you're not suppose to carry social security cards--I just didn't take them out after getting their passports. damn it. And I lost real black pearl earrings that were in the change pocket.

I also lost my last student ID. No more discounts at the movies.

The Twins Turn One


Happy Birthday to the Twins! Their first year in a glance. It really went by fast.

St. Baldrick's Day


There is not a person around who has not been touched by the devastation of cancer. And our family is no exception. Andre is a two time testicular cancer survivor.

We can all think about our lives and imagine if some key moment had gone drastically different and how that could have changed everything. It is so easy to take for granted that Andre survived cancer both times. That he had good doctors and good treatment. That he is healthy and we have beautiful children now. It is simply unimaginable that it could have gone any other way and yet I know that everyday someone loses someone they love to this horrible disease. In fact, we lost my uncle to cancer just this year. Cancer is something that we must continue to fight, to find new treatment, and improved methods for early detection.

So to help fight this terrible disease Andre is participating in St. Baldrick's Day and raising funds to help fight cancer in children. Children at Dell Children's Hospital undergoing chemotherapy will help shave the participants heads and share their stories on March 21st.

Andre hopes to raise $1000 for this cause, every little bit gets him closer to his goal. If you would like to donate to the cause you can go to his website at: http://bit.ly/BaldAndre or click here Bald Andre All proceeds are tax deductible and go directly to the foundation.

Rowan


Rowan has a soft, material toy with cut out shapes and corresponding soft blocks, balls, etc., that fit through. Anyhow, she has become fascinated with looking through the holes to the other side. Its very funny. Here are a few pictures I got of her today.












Peek-a-boo


We've been playing peek-a-boo with the girls for a while now and they always start laughing. Well, this morning I put the girls in their crib as I was getting ready for work in the bathroom a few steps away. When I stuck my head out the door to check on them Evey and Rowan had a blanket and were playing peek-a-boo. It was so funny I ran downstairs and grabbed the camcorder.

I especially love it when Evey thinks she's hiding but you can still see her.
