Time to call the milkman!



Now that the boys drink milk...we've lost an entire shelf in the fridge. :) This is insane!! Granted, milk is cheaper than formula...but it is still mind boggling how much of it we consume. I'm getting tired of twice weekly runs to the grocery store just for milk. (Not easy with 1-year old twins.) Think it might be time to call the milkman!

FIRST STEPS!!!!!!!

Guess who is walking!!! The boys have been cruising like professionals for weeks now...but Tommy just bravely decided to let go and walk to Mommy! I am so proud!! His first steps weren't little...he took like four or five big steps to me! Cole was watching and decided to try, but everytime he stands up he starts dancing. It is funny. He's our boy with rythm. Maybe he'll dance his way over to me. :)

We no longer have a camera as ours is broken, but I'll post some video once I borrow my moms again. What a big day!! Watch out world!!

My calendar boys!


Exciting news!!! I had sent in photos of the boys for a contest in Twins Magazine - a national magazine for parents of multiples. Anyway, it was for their 25th anniversary calendar. Literally thousands of parents submitted entries and Cole and Tommy were selected for the month of June!! The photo above is the one that made it. :) They left us a message this afternoon congratulating us...they are sending a bunch of calendars our way as we speak. We are so proud!

Home sweet home!


The trip to Fiji was a huge success. The boys were great the whole time...slept on the plane...got right into a schedule...it went so smoothly! We swam in the water, built sand castles, saw lots of fish, swam in the pool and were treated like rockstars because of the boys everywhere we went. The Fijian women LOVE babies and having twins was unusual there. We would hear..."Bula twins! Bula Cole and Tommy!" Everywhere we went. So much fun.

You can read more about our trip and see photos from the trip on our family blog. The web address is http://www.riordanfamilyadventures.com/ We still have to edit and post some of our blog entries (I saved them as drafts) but we'll get them done soon enough.

Bula vinaka!
