Yesterday.

awww, etc.

super trippy borderline terrifying a+

nath that photo is gold!

schwantz, is it true identical twins happen randomly and non-identical only happen for people with the twin making gene?

or more commonly these days those who fuck w/science

Identical twins are random, or so they say. The mechanism (random splitting of zygote) is much different than for fraternal twins (two eggs released at once). I think that there is a "release-more-than-one-egg-at-a-time" gene. My wife is in SFPOM (parents of multiples), and almost everyone other than us has fraternal twins as the result of some kind of fertility treatment or in-vitro procedure.

One more from our hike, cuz I love it. Owen:

Great shot.

how will he survive in the woods on his own????

"its time 4 u 2 be a man now"

"Owen on his vision quest."

How do you get them to hike with you? Trying to walk anywhere with Howie is impossible -- he just goes round and round in circles, or gets fixated on a pile of stones and won't leave, or wants to dig for worms, or gets startled (particularly by dogs) and demands to be carried. He is fine as long as you don't have a destination, but trying to get from A to B? Forget it...

That's what Owen was doing in that picture. I dunno, I guess we just take our time, carry them a bit, etc. That hike goes from point A to point wherever, and then back to point A, so if we sense them getting worn out, we just turn around...

I love that protective look that older sibs have for their younger sibs...

I love this look too:

Here's a rubbish phone shot of Megan actually facing a camera for once

Just thought I'd bring a downer on the thread by showing you the kind of horrors awaiting you in 10 or 12 years times.*

*Only joking btw, even if he's now lost the puppy fat.

Just for comparison, here's one taken ~2000.

and he was such a nice boy

Id say these kids need to quit growing up but they just get better looking.

Here is Beeps holding Foofa while watching Foofa.

Hey SS do you let her play with the Wii yet? My husband is planning to "expose" Ophelia soon. :-)

that's an xbox360 (white box) and a ps3 up there. we're planning to get rid of the xbox. the only video game she's really shown interest in is katamari and last time i tried (which was a long time ago, i guess) she couldn't quite get the analog sticks on the ps controller moving together all the time. plus im sure she was just all 'woah! ball!'. but, yeah, i'm happy for her to play games as soon as she can/wants to. i bet wii would be fun with a toddler/preschooler!

I helped her get to hitman level by firing a rocket launcher into a gang of ballas, so she's got that under her belt.

true

Air Piano Time!

i feel super weird lurking this thread so i just wanna let everyone know that all of your kids are adorable. i work at a day care type place when i'm not at school and this is making me miss my kids there so much :(

Ah shit, an Xbox. Shows how little I know about these darn things. I'm such a mom. ;-)

Out in the snow...

Not really sure about all this snow stuff...

My son was totally gung ho with his sledging throwing himself down crazy slopes headfirst. I think we may have found his sport! Now all we need to do is move somewhere this happens all the time.

Right up to the top of their wellies...

Hi, my name is Alice G-P and I'm new around here. I enjoy white noise, sucking on my fingers, and all things breast- and mommy-related.

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/235/3263531119_a4fe9e720c.jpg

congratulation g00blar & welcome to Alice!

Three, as we all know by now, is a magic number. Beautiful!

Schwantz - good to see Ben playing fast and loose with typography there.

Your daughter is gorgeous!

Thank you!

Cute!

Okay I probably would have given up 5 years' worth of birthday and Christmas presents for that drum kit.

Aaah. I got one as a kid. A Muppet Show kit. My parents threw it out. My obvious No Wave tendencies didn't click with my mother's migraine attacks. hahahahahahah I would play HOURS on it. I loved it so much. There you go, a career as an 80s Shaggs drummer was lost forever.

Those babies sure are growing fast! We need some new ones here. :-)

Is it me, or is everyone having kids? Friends of ours as well. One's expecting in November. Anotehr couple are due in September. Twins no less!

Veronica and I momentarily complacent in the fourth set of the Wimbledon Men's final.

A little collage of recent pics; some film photos taken at Ava's school sports day (though Lulu was clearly determined to be centre of attention anyway) and a coupla digital pics from Soho Square on Saturday (the dance stage at Pride, drag queens not pictured):

As usual MJs kids are adorable and yeah, Lulu looks like the coolest little girl ever.
