Happy Mother's Day Week!
Update for the Week of May 12th
|
This Week's Piano-Playing Pair:
Will and Emma
18 Months Old
Shares Twin Mom Debi:
"These are my 18 month old twins Will & Emma. It has been an absolute blessing (in disguise) in having twins. I was never thrilled with the idea of having more than one baby at a time, as I grew up in a home with 2 sets of twin sisters and remember watching my mom struggle to "do it all". But, as they were handed to me in the hospital, well, I could never go back and have loved every minute."
_____________________________________________________
They're simply precious, Debi! Thank you so very much for sharing them with us.

TWIN THE NEWS...
CBS News ran a story on moms of multiples...the transcript highlights can be found here. [Kudos to the Manhattan Twins Club for sharing the moms of multiples perspective publicly!]
Marie Rossiter of The Western Star wrote a piece on moms of multiples with Mother's Day in mind. You can read it here.
The Jolie-Pitt twins-on-the-way rumors continue...Star Magazine's cover this week reported a pair of girls on the way (as well as a fainting scare).
A pop-up free story can be accessed here. Twins or no, we certainly wish Ms. Jolie a healthy remainder of her pregnancy. [Irish newsources report that the expecting celebrity couple and their kids are staying at the home of U2 guitarist The Edge!]
Actress Diana Farr (of Numb3rs and Rescue Me) and her husband Seung Chung are expecting twins later this year. You can read Celebrity-Babies Blog story and see a photo here.
QUESTION & RESPONSE
So your babies are just starting to twinteract, and now upgraded carseat protection might prohibit mid-travel communication?
Be sure to read this week's brand-new Q&R!
[Be sure to check back next week for a brand-new Q&R!]
TWIN TALES
Creator of Chrysanthemum, Lilly, Sheila Rae, Owen, Julius...
Chances are you are already familiar with the work of Caldecott Award winning children's book author/illustrator, Kevin Henkes.
We had the wonderful opportunity to pose some questions, and Mr. Henkes was gracious enough to answer!
Check out our Twin Tale this week for a special conversation with Kevin Henkes...and be sure to check out LinerNotes from the Lage Twins for our review of the Chrysanthemum...and other mouse mayhem DVD!
NEW CONTEST!
This one is especially for our expecting twin mamas...
If you've got two on the way, we want to hear about your Mother's Day!
Check out our "New Contest" page for details on our latest contest, and to get a sneak peek at our Mama-to-Be pleasing prize!
WHAT HAPPENED TO DOUBLE BABY BOOK CLUB?
All good things either come to an end or evolve...and such is the case with our Double Baby Book Club page. While the page did receive significant visitation, it's the "low-ranker" on our site. As we hope to increase our number of contests and inclusions of reader submitted writings, we are retiring the Double Baby Book Club page as we know it, and are going to "free up" a page for a variety of incoming/current content.
Thank you to all who've commented and contributed to DBBC.
HOWEVER...we are STILL a reviewing family! If anything, we're ADDING to our volume of content we'd like to recommend -- or suggest you avoid. This week, we've debuted Liner Notes from the Lage Twins: Multiples and their Mama Talk Media. If you are seeking tips on how to find the top-notch, and how to dodge the terrible, check it out!
TWICE THE MOTIVATION...
We've begun a listing of twin family blogs on our Twinternet connections page. We are adding new blogs weekly, so be sure and check 'em out!
Here are a few of our fresh additions:
Juggling Act of Life, A Tale of Two Twinkies, and The Staab Family
Be sure to take a peek!
