Sally and I spent the afternoon hitting local dealerships and test driving SUVs and crossovers. It's time for Sally to replace her 2005 Focus with something new. Her Focus has done her well but it's loud, rough, and cramped, even more so with two babies on board. While we never thought we would be SUV …
Twins on a Plane: To and Fro
It's been three weeks since I posted about our trip to visit my father in Lubbock Texas and the anxieties that came with dragging two one year olds across the country, namely how they would react to the pressure changes, how we would keep them entertained, who we would sit with, and whether we would …
Taming Twins: To Those (Things) We've Lost
The boys are a year old now and it's amazing to look back. Not at the way they've grown or the things they've learned, but at all the stuff that we had and the things that the boys did that we no longer have to deal with. Here's the list of all of the things …

Twins on a Plane: Packing Pandemonium
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
Apple knows it doesn't have to do any of this. For now. It can put out a minor upgrade every year and sell millions and millions more iPads—so why try? Because trying is what made Apple the most valuable technology company in the world. That's a quote from an article titled What Would It Take …
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 …
