The Countdown Begins!! Yesterday I felt like I was walking on air. The twins don't really understand yet, but they could tell I was excited. ... we finally booked Matt's flight home! He won't be coming

Babies are often more capable than adults would believe. They learn so rapidly in their first year of life and are eager to absorb the information given to them. After watching a few friends teach their

Have you ever patiently listened to your child's babble hoping to have a glimmer of understanding? I remember calling the twins first coo's telling stories. I imagined that they were telling me what they
