I live in the Washington DC Metro Area with my husband, six year old boy/girl twins (aka The Goon Squad) and two loud cats. [Read More …]

It’s scary how fast they grow. My daughter was 2.5 pounds when she was born, and now she’s a nine year old who hits softballs over the fence at practice. I never thought I’d see the day…

Oh, and happy birthday Ian and Claudia!!
Happy Birthday Goon Squad!
Yesterday Max told me, “Guess what, Mommy? I’m a dork!” At the time he was wearing a diaper, a pair of my Crocs (actually, one was mine and one was my husband’s), one of my bras picked out of the laundry basket, and a red Firestone Tires baseball cap.
And three years ago I was pregnant with this little immobile meatloaf and I never would have thought I’d see the day that he would make such a blatantly true statement.
And I second the donate blood thing. My uncle receives donor platelets three times a week.
Happy Birthday to the Squad!! And congrats to Mom and Dad for making it through 4 years with twins.
Happy birthday to the squad!! My twins just turned 5 on the 9th….i can’t believe they’ve already gotten as big as they have. I took them for pictures the other day and got them back yesterday and they look like little girls now and not cute babies (i swear last year they still had those baby faces)…
Melyssa was the same way on teaching her to eat and on being so little. Juleigha was 5 lbs 12 oz at birth and Melyssa only 4 lbs 15 oz
awww, happy birthday kids!! Make sure your mom and dad spoil you rotten for your birthday
Good luck with the poop thing. Challenges all around.
Happy Day, Goon Squad!
Isn’t that Mag Sulfate, H-E-L-L? I remember yelling at my husband to “just get away! you’re too hot” (and no, he wasn’t even touchnig me). And, no, the mag didn’t work for me either.
T&M just turned 4 on 04/30. They started at 2 lb 3 oz – and I look at them now, healthy & happy 4-year-olds, and I wonder how did time get away from me? Now…mine are pooping on the potty, but not writing their names….hmmm…we’ll have to work on that.
Oh geesh – I forgot the most important part!
Happy 4th Birthday, Ian & Claudia!!!
Happy Birthday to the Goon Squad!
sniff….
it all goes by too fast
Happy Birthday Claudia and Ian!
Our she-child was under 5lbs too…now a kindergartener, she wants me to curls her hair in sponge rollers nightly and her twin brother reads chapter books. It does fly…and while those early days make me nostalgic to reflect upon, lots of continued new fun awaits you! (At least for the next two years, that’s all I can testify to!)
Happy Celebrations!
Happy Birthday, Good Squad! It’s funny, Claudia looked like herself even as a newborn.
Happy birthday, Ian and Claudia. It goes by so fast, doesn’t it? And good luck with getting Ian to poop on the potty.
Happy Birthday to my favorite 4 year olds.
(And Ian, your birthday means pooping anywhere you want.)
Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday! What cuties they were then (and what cuties they are now)! They grow up way too fast.
Happy Birthday Goon Squad!
Happy Birthday Ian and Claudia!!!

Happy birthday, Ian and Claudia!
Happy Birthday Ian! Happy Birthday Claudia!
Happy Birthday Ian and Claudia! Alex and Mia just turned four last week and now they keep running through the house telling me they are about to turn 5. I want to cry every time they say it. Four is pretty cool.
Happy birthday to the Goon Squad! So cute!
And yes, Ian, go poop in the potty every time! For your mom’s sake!
Ok, it was just a sweet post until you added the hook at the end about the blood donor thing. I burst in to tears. THANK YOU for acknowledging the annonymous donor(s), and for encouraging others to give. It is such a simple thing to do, and it saves so many lives.
Happy birthday to the Goon Squad!
If I didn’t have such needle issues, I’d probably have given blood by now. But since I used to faint every time I was stuck (even for shots), I’m not fully sure they would want to see me come in.
I’ve not fainted in a while (12 years), but I’ve also only given a little blood for testing and turned grey with doing that (I still seem to have problems remembering to breathe when stuck).
Two things: #1, I have had several blood transfusions and I echo your plea for donors!
#2, your kids are awesome. happy birth-day
Happy birthday to your cutie pies!
I can’t give blood because I am still not clean from cancer, but 10 years after I have a clean scan (the legal/medical thing about not spreading cancer by accident) I will do it and think of you.
Happy Birthday, you goons!
Happy bday to your little ones and happy mother’s day to you!
four years ago and a few months my water broke 3 weeks early (not the same, I know). It was the middle of the night and after talking with the doc for a few minutes I asked him when I should go to the hospital
He screamed, “NOW!”
btw- my little guy took a day to be toilet trained for peeing- over a year to get the poops on the toilet… every time. He’s just in the past couple of months doing it consistently, with no help. He just told me one day he didn’t need help. done. Of course now, I have to admire the size or number of his poops before he flushes… every time
happy birthday to the adorable bits of fluff. good luck with the poop struggles ahead.
so cute and amazing huh !!!
ahh pooping….been there….
Happy Birthday, Ian & Claudia!
Happy birthday, Squad! Hope you ripped it up at a local kid-friendly eatery (and pooped IN THE POTTY afterwards).
Awww They grow too quick…little smart asses!
Happy Birthday you two!!!
Adorable and amazing !
Happy Birthday Ian
Happy Birthday Claudia
Happy Birthing day Sarah …what a great job you have done
My twins were 6lbs 8 and 4lbs 12 …I was about 35wks 4day I know what you mean about tiny – even next to each other 800gms difference between my two like you.
Happy, happy!
Oh, Tiffer, this is a beautiful post. You are so lucky and so blessed in so many ways. I hope you all enjoy the festivities of today!
I’m late to the party, but wishing a happy birthday to the goons anyway! It’s amazing how time flies, and how much those tough little people can overcome, what with the low birthweights and eating issues and such.
I just gave blood about two weeks ago. Of course, there is no way to know where my pint ended up, but it still feels good to think that I helped somebody out- I’m type O, so anyone can use what I have to offer!
Happy birthday to them AND you!
awww happy birthday to my beloved niece and nephew! we love you guys!
Britt, John, Zoe and Anneka
Happy Birthday!
This is a really great post for a lot of reasons, but I really have to know how you found teeny tiny Misfits t-shirts. And how do I possibly know someone as cool as you?
What a wonderful post. Happy birthday to Ian and Claudia and congratulations to YOU!
Wow, you were in the hospital that long? OMG!
Happy belated birthday Ian and Claudia!
And a big hug to you for surviving for this long.
Mag wash? I thought it was some kind of cooch thing.
