We Three Girls

I was looking through some old pictures today and I found a picture of me when I was about 4 years old. I thought it would be fun to put all three girls pictures together. I would say we are definately related!

Stressed out Crazy Fun

Thursday we took a bit of a long weekend vacation to Indiana to visit our favorite family - The Rays, and to Chicago to visit Papa Cole and family. Here are some of our favorite moments.


We really had a great time. In Indiana - It's always fun when the kids out number the parents. All I can say is, "Pizza waitress lady,We are so sorry for bringing in 6 overly tired children."
It is always worth the sress, and craziness.
Thanks Rays for such a fun time.

Walking in memory of Lydia

As everyone has read in my previous blog entry, our family, and the twins club family, has been saddened by the loss of a twin. Lydia Eve Zoromski was still born On May 10Th. Her twin sister Ruby is a beautiful, healthy, little girl. Ruby has also just been diagnosed with downs syndrome.
We hope to god that they never need the assistance of Children's Hospital, but if they do, we would like to help provide for Children's.

As Children's Champions, Carson and Cooper would like to walk in memory of Lydia and for Ruby who may someday need the care of doctors at Children's.

Please help donate to this cause. Families like ours, and the Zoromski, may someday need the wonderful doctors at Children's.

Please help.

Thank you.

Please say a little prayer

I think today was one of the toughest days of my life as being a mother of twins. Something happened today that I hoped I would never have to do.

A few months back a proud mother expecting twins arrived at our monthly twins club meeting. I remember sitting with her at our meeting, getting to know her and learning about the beautiful girls that she would soon be delivering. Just a few days ago, that day finally arrived , but the totally unexpected happened. Her first daughter, Ruby came into the world at 4:51pm, and has been Diagnosed with having down syndrome. Her second daughter, Lydia, arrived at 4:53pm - still born.

How does this happened? Why does God do this?

Today was Lydia's visitation and service. I can't even begin to tell you how hard it was for my friend Jenni and I to see this family. No parent should ever have to go through this pain.

Please, If you have a free moment in your day, please say a prayer for this family. They are going to need every little bit they can get in the next couple of months.

Thank you.

Do the Draft in NYC

Ok, So I mentioned that we spent some time in New Jersey with my grandma, aunt, and cousins.
Did I mention we went into NYC to see all the NFL draft stuff? It was held at Radio City Music Hall and they had tons of stuff to do within those few city blocks. We had a great time.

"Where the hell you been Papa?"

Yea - I am finally back. I can't believe it has almost been a month since my last post! As my kids were taught to say by a friend of ours, "Where the hell you been papa?" If they were to be reading my blog, I am sure that is what they would say to me, not my dad.

First and foremost, I would like to to send out a big THANK YOU to all that donated to our March of dimes - Walk America. We had a blast. A bit chilly, but fun.


We also just got back from a trip out to New Jersey to see my Grandma. I'll post more about that on my next blog.

Some of you have asked about my Thunder Thigh Thursday, well - It's in a holding pattern. I have not lost anymore and have actually put on just a few, but I am trying to get my hormones back in order from my hysterectomy. Hopefully I'll be back on track in the next few weeks or so.
