It's A...

Kari and I had our second ultrasound yesterday. We had an early ultrasound to rule out another multiple pregnancy a while ago. Kari is 18 weeks now. Her and our beautiful little GIRL are doing great. It was amazing to see the beautiful gift God is creating! We were both amazed at her movement during the ultrasound. She flipped all around and showed off all of her favorite positions. It was quite different from watching Mila and Nolan duke it out during their ultrasounds last time.

We are excited to meet our newest addition in June and look forward to Mila and Nolan having another best bud. We are blessed to have such great support from our family and friends and we wanted to share this news as soon as possible.

Happy 26th Birthday Mrs. Kari Venti!!

Today is Kari's 26th birthday! Happy Birthday Kari! I am so blessed to have such an amazing wife and mom for our children. 26 makes me think of 16 which is how old we were when we started dating. The past 9 years (we didn't start dating until 9/11/2000) have been an amazing adventure. We have enjoyed so many great moments in our life together: High School, College and now parenthood; just to name a few.

I should post some pictures of our fun memories together...I'm at the office now, so stay tuned for those pics.

New blog!

A couple months ago I started a new "mama blog." (Which is why this blog has been pretty dry). I have been thinking about starting a new blog for quite awhile and it has been pretty fun. It covers things like couponing, freebies, organization, twin and kid topics, food, natural parenting, creative play, sewing and crafts and who knows what else. So far it is largely about coupons, freebies, and learning how to save money. There are also some updates about the kiddos with pictures here and there.

Thus far I have included less specific personal information (like the kiddos names etc) until I decide exactly how much I want to put out there. At some point we might even go private on this site . After doing a Google search of my name and having a picture of my 9 mo. prego with twins body popping up, I wondered if I was comfortable with that. We will see what happens and I will keep y'all posted.

Please pop over and visit TwinMamaLoves.com. More features will be added soon and the option to "Follow" or something similar will be available. If you are feeling extra generous you could even add my new blog link to your "Blogroll" of friends on the side of your blog.

Monkey or Gymnast?

Nolan has found a new strength. It came about when we went for a walk on Saturday.  He thinks it's fun to "sit" when I am holding both of his hands.  He then figured out that he can pull the same move on the cube climber.
