We're TubaDad (laid-back taco-eating tuba-player from Texas) and M3 (excitable, artsy chocoholic from California). We adopted our beautiful twin girls from Hubei, China in Oct 2006 and this blog is about our lives with the twinados, Ro and Ree. Cheers!
Welcome Home! Loved the flickr pictures. Very smart to have taken the picture that says Welcome to the US. I wish we had thought of that one, just blonder than I pay to be! After our diaper email exchange, I loved the diaper wrangling pictures. Does your blog qualify for the most read Chinese adoption blog? Wishing you lots of joy, sleep and attaching!
WE.....NEED A NANNY! WE.....NEED SOME SLEEP! WE.....NEED A HOUSE KEEPER! WE.....NEED A COOK WE.....NEED A SHOWER WE.....NEED A WATCHCAMACALLIT!? YOU KNOW THAT ONE THING!
We... don't have time to blog right now because the twins are scaling the fancy baby gates, chasing the cats through a mudslide of baby sweet potatoes, smearing syrup in their hair, hiding behind a huge mound of laundry that will probably never get done, and are still up all night from jet lag?
we . . . are wanting you all to write the blog for us until we figure out where we put the computer keyboard after we cleaned the formula and cookie crumbs from it.
We... We wanted to post "we" to see what all of the hilarious comments that would follow would be. Haha I am cracking up reading them! Hope you are settling well at home!
... are in total shock at how much poop can come out of two babies! (cough)...(gasp)...(wheeze) Need...air...fumes...overcoming...us...send...air...fresheners...(THUD!)
hijacked mom's computer. This is Ro. And Ree. Ha - they think we are sleeping. Ya, right!! Those 2 big people who keep hugging and kissing us finally passed out. We think we finally exhausted them. So far, so good with those two. They're funny. And fun. Too bad they keep trying to shove that salsa stuff down our throats! Uh oh, we hear noises . . . they must be waking up. Gotta go!
Just tucked Mommy & Daddy into bed, ssshhh.....please don't wake them up. Ro, what shall we do now that they are sleeping? Ree, we should get into the goody cupboard and find some good snacks then turn on the Wiggles. We better hurry I think I just heard a noise coming from their room.
We have taken over. Momma and Daddy are making our bottles, warming our congee and preparing our cribs for the night. Do we have them trained?? Love, Ro and Ree The Salsa Twins
Lanny and Heather said... We...just told Mom and Dad we'd like twin brothers (or sisters) and they seem to have fallen and can't get up. Hmm, let's remember that one sistah, high five!
We?? Who typed "We"? It wasn't me or TubaDad??? How did the girls figure out how to post to the blog?? When did they do it. I swear the only time there were out of my sight was for less than one minute when I just HAD to use the bathroom.
We ... need urgent help. it's a disaster zone here, guys.
our peaceful home has been shattered by the invasion of at least five wriggly, noisy, grabby, smelly creatures. they seem to use some type of mind control - tubadad and mmm stumble around like zombies most of the time, but Mango swears he's seen them rolling on the floor making strange faces at the creatures and even letting the little ones crawl all over them. and other times, tubadad and mmm break into sponaneous smiles and laughter for no reason at all.
Want to make a big difference in the world? Give one small child the benefit of Foster Care. Ro and Ree were in foster care and it changed their lives. Read more about it or read about other charities that help children.
We were going to start a post but the twins got in to something?
ReplyDeleteha ha ha!!! That is funny!!! It's funny how just one short word, actually says it all!!!
ReplyDeleteYou sleep, Luv, we'll be ready to ogle whenever you're ready!!!
We.....
ReplyDeletehave been taken hostage and are being held for Goldfish?
We....
ReplyDeletefell asleep while writing this post because twins wear you OUT!
We... try to blog like we used to prior to becoming parents but find its way too complicated with 2 whirling dervishes running about?
ReplyDeleteHope you are all settled at home!
One of those days, huh? Yep... I'm still having them after 7 weeks home.
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteLord Bless, Have a Great Day "all of you"

So far, so good with those two. They're funny. And fun.
Too bad they keep trying to shove that salsa stuff down our throats!
Uh oh, we hear noises . . . they must be waking up. Gotta go!
So, will posts now be one word per day?? lol Go Ro and Ree!!
