After my pathetic plea for an Urban Mountain Buggy a few weeks back, my in-laws generously offered to

My twins are two years old. You won't regret spending the money on the Mountain Buggy. When my friends comment on the expense of my stroller I tell them that it's paid for itself over and over again. I figure it's worth about one dollar to me not to have to struggle with a tiny-wheeled model over a massive structural failure in the sidewalk. Maybe even two dollars, now that the kids weigh in at a combined fifty pounds. And no stroller offers better one-handed steering while pushing the kids and towing the shopping cart at the grocery store.

Try posting a want ad on Craig's List. I have a friend who got hers that way.

Man, you are really in for it with those adorable girls! I can see the twinkle in their eyes and I think they are already planning an adventure, splitting up and running in opposite directions...they will have a 50% chance of getting away:)

I love the picture of the two of them yowling in the water - so cute! Of course, just looking at two babies makes me tired on your behalf....

*nods* Vacation the summer that Nicholas was just crawling was fine. This year? Man. I needed a nap more than he did everyday!

Hi Jane!

You probably don't remember me but you used to work with my husband, cryptically named G over on my blog. I've read your blog before but it was just pointed out to me that it was YOU you; as in, hey, I know you!

Ok this sounds stalkerish. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and congrats because I never got to congratulate you after the twins were born. And, I feel so bad because we had a jogging stroller that we freecycled before we moved! Sorry.

Elsa and Clio are gorgeous! So glad to read that you are doing well.

I love reading your blog - I just stumbled across it while doing a google search on mothers of twins. My twins (boy/girl) are just a few days older than yours, and I find it a comic relief that my kids and your are doing the same things - and you have the same worries. Your comment about "repetetive motion tendencies aren't an indication that something is amiss" is exactly something that would come out of my mouth!

I've got the mountain buggy btw, totally spoiled, can't imagine life without one!

Sounds like everyone had a great time. I just read your last two posts about Sandy and about the nostalgia that Labour Day always brings. It's always such a poignant time for me as well. I just wrote about my Labour Day adventures in the very same vein at www.donmillsdiva.blogspot.com

Love your writing and your sense of humour.
