Today was quite a day in the Taylor household. It was supposed to go relatively smoothly; we had done most of our packing earlier this week so we were just going to go to work, chill out until the end of the day, pick up the boys, finish up some minor things this evening, and …
Twins on A Plane Part I: Are We Nuts?
Recently we've been preparing to visit my father in Texas. We've made a list, we're checking it twice, and we're just not sure who will be naughty or nice. We leave Wednesday morning and have about eight hours of travel ahead of us. We are bringing our two one year old boys through an airport …
iOS 6 Wish List
The iOS has come a long way since its introduction in 2007. iOS 1.0 shipped on the original iPhone and while revolutionary in its design and performance it was often criticized for the things it lacked: third party apps, multitasking, copy and paste, MMS, system-wide search, folders on the home screen, a unified inbox in …
First Day in the One Year Old Room
Something big happened today. The boys moved into the one year old room. They left nine months of comfort with the Joeys behind and stepped (or crawled) full force into the Kookaburras (yeah – spell that one). Now that they are a year old it is time to move up in the world. They started …
It's Been One Year
Wow. It's been a year since the boys were born and what a year it has been. At 4 PM on March 29, 2011 Sally went to her O.B. for a regularly scheduled appointment. By 7 PM our two new sons had entered the world. It was a surreal experience. Even though it was a …
They Just Don't Get It: Gizmodo

Happy 1st Birthday!!!
Today we celebrated the boys' first birthday. We decided to throw an "open house" style party where instead of having the party at a specific time we kept it open for most of the afternoon so that people could come as they pleased. We stuck the "Happy Birthday" portion in the middle, which of course …
Micro Tantrums
Zachary has recently been exhibiting a behavior I can only refer to as "micro-tantrums". A micro-tantrum is a sudden, short, and dramatic tantrum that manifests itself when Zachary feels the need. They occur suddenly, usually while crawling, and involve him dropping his arms and laying flat on his stomach, twisting to the side, laying his …

Powdered Peanut Butter – Amazing
I love peanut butter. Peanut butter shakes, peanut butter ice cream, peanut butter sandwiches, peanut butter noodles, peanut butter peanut butter – you name it –peanut butter is my bacon. Not only is peanut butter delicious, it's also pretty healthy. It has a lot of protein. Ok, so it's not totally healthy because you can't get …
