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 that adoption and our lives with the twinados, Ro and Ree. Cheers!
Q: How big are the girls now, they look taller all of a sudden. (Jul 2009)
A: Ro weighs 35 pounds and is 391/8 inches tall. Ree weighs 34 pounds and is 391/16 inches tall. Both girls wear 3T/4T tops and 3T bottoms (anything that I buy now I buy at a 4T so we'll get two years out of it) and were measured at a 9.5 size shoe, so we're supposed to buy size 10.
For more answers, see the archive of random questions.
The girls' preschool brings in a sweet old pony every year who patiently lets the kids saddle up and pose on his back for pictures. Last year when I picked the girls up and saw the pony being loaded into his trailer I gushed "Wow, did you guys get to ride that pony?!" And Ro scornfully replied "I no ride dat pony. I sit on dat pony, den I cry." Heh.
It looks like this year's pictures went a little better. Ree is in the first three, and Ro is in the last four.
Yippee ki yay!

Obviously Ree is happier on the pony and I love the one of Ro with her foot up on the tub...and no we are not getting ponies for the little girls. At least not this week!!!

So fun to see them all grown up!!!! I lost track of you once we got home with Ruby!!!! Thanks for your note on the Mamarazzi blog! Ree and Ro are ADORABLE!!!!
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.
