School of Rock

The twins' favorite movie right now is "School of Rock" with Jack Black.

A school where they spend all day learning to rock out for an upcoming rock concert? That's their idea of a dream come true.

During the Amarillo Area Mothers of Multiples rock video production, Owen gave us a little solo of one of the songs from the movie.

Remembering My Hero


It's amazing how a few mementos can make me feel close again to my Grandpa.

One of my closest and most cherished confidants is my Aunt Marcia. She's one of those people who, even though we don't always get to talk frequently, is a constant influence on my life.

The other day we were talking about my Grandpa, her dad, who we lost in the early 2000s. Grandpa is the only close family member I've ever lost, and I still, to this day, have a hard time dealing with his absence.

I mentioned to Marcia that I wish I had more mementos to remember him by and - more importantly - to remind the twins that he was an amazing man who they would have really, really liked being around. (Coincidentally, the twins were born on his birthday, and I can't help but wonder if he had something to do with it from Heaven. We honor him every year on their shared birthday.)

Old Time Rock N Roll

The twins' dreams came true in our cul de sac.

I'm a member of the Amarillo Area Mothers of Multiples Club, and we needed to make a rock and roll video for our recent bid to host the 2015 Texas Mothers of Multiples convention in our great city.

"I've got a bunch of instruments and two music-crazy kids," I exclaimed!

So a bunch of moms, a bunch of twins and one brave videographer headed to my house this morning to film a rock video to the sound of Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll."

The twins were so proud - to them, this was a real concert in the middle of our cul de sac, and they were real stars!
