Small World

I'm finally catching up with the times - and boy has my age caught up with me! A friend recently sent me an "invitation link" to join Facebook. After a few weeks of hearing facebook tales from some of my girls, I went ahead and clicked on the link. Make no mistake, it was with reservation that I did this but nonetheless, curiosity got the best of me.

Within literally a few hours, I was connected with people I had forgotten existed - and some who I never knew how we would ever get in touch with again. My email box was FULL when I checked it, with 'invitations to accept friends' & confirmations that other people had accepted mine. It is NUTS! It took so much discipline to go to bed last night and not sit and search and play for hours. What a GREAT time waster; and since I have so much spare time, it's great that I've now added this to my list - ugh. It's a whole new world out there that I really had no idea was as broad as it is. The older I get, the smaller the world gets, it seems. And with the internet technology these days, it's incredibly smaller.

We have our 20 year high school reunion coming up in about a month (somehow I got tagged as the head of this endeavor, again because I have so much 'extra' time?) and after spending months trying to get in touch with lost classmates, I wish I had done this sooner for that purpose. So, I'm really feeling old now that our 20 year reunion is upon us. I have no idea how this snuck up so quickly.

On another note, we survived Hanna this weekend. In fact, 5 of my MOM (mothers of multiples) friends and I headed to a long awaited girls weekend in Dewey Beach. Between the 6 of us, we left 18 children and 6 husbands behind. When Hanna started heading toward the coast, do you think for a second we thought about canceling our trip? Come hell or highwater, we were going. And we did. As usual, the weather peeps hyped it up to be something it absolutely was not - and it turned out to be only a few hours of driving wind and rain and then the sun was out again. The weekend was awesome - so many laughs and good times. We all came back rejuvinated and relaxed. The trip was bumped up a day (we left a day sooner) due to the storm so as it turned out, thank you Hanna!

Prior to leaving for our trip on Friday, the kids had their 2 year well check. Both are doing fine and growing like they should be. Cole seems to be closing the gap a bit, although he's still a bit underweight, despite that he eats more than JD & I do combined. The doc was happy with their progress and as I was leaving said that they don't have another well check until they are THREE!

Last week we also had their 2 year photos taken. I got a sneak peek at them last night and love how they turned out. I can't wait to see the rest. If you want to take a quick look, check out Stevie T's blog. She's been photographing my boys since they came home from the hospital at 5 pounds. She's captured some of our proudest memories - and is quite an amazing photographer. Click HERE to see them.

P.S. - If you're a facebook addict, send me a note and we can be 'friends'. And if you're not, I hope I peaked your curiosity enough and you fall into this trap like I did - I can see why it's an addiction for some!

P.S.S. - Aunt Kathy, we can't wait to see you in 4 more days!
