New Movie

I have not been posting much lately, but I have been uploading moves and images to the site. Here's one of Superwife playing with Cassidy.

Happy Easter

Hello everyone. I just uploaded some images that superwife shot over the weekend. Make sure you click on over to see the girls in their super-cool easter dresses, coloring eggs, and eating far to much chocolate.

Finally, A Name

Terry and I finally had a few minutes alone last night. We have decided to name our newest princess Cassidy. Superwife and Cassidy are both doing very well. They may be home as early as this evening.

No News Yet

The due date has come and gone and there is nothing new to report. Dan and Nick are heading home tomorrow but Linda is going to stick around for a while. It'll be nice to have some help once #3 arrives.

Check out the bellies:

Family Reunion

We got to travel to NY this weekend for a family wedding. L and E stayed with some of my friends while Superwife and I attended the wedding. I think they had a great time while we were away because when we showed up to pick them up, Elizabeth said "I don't want to leave" without ever saying hello. It was great for me as I got to see some old friends and the family as well. Nanny and Grandpa even came back home with us for a few days and got to go to the Please Touch Me Museum and soccer practice.

Back To School Night

Tomorrow night, E's birthday, is Linda's "Back To School" night. Superwife and I get to go to Linda's classroom, meet her teachers, and see what she's been working on for the past 1.5 weeks. I'm sorry we have to cut Elizabeth's b-day celebrations short, but they will be with their fried Mia while we are at school and they couldn't be happier.

Here's one of Linda's first assignments. Click for a larger image.

First Day Of School

Today was a special day at The Jack Girls Headquarters, it was Linda's first day of school. After a very rough night with little rest for any of us, the girls woke up ready to go. Linda met me in the bathroom and asked “is it time to get ready for school?”  When we finally got there the festivities were in full swing- the teachers, Principal, and school chorus were assembled on the front step. There were balloons, a gold ribbon in front of the door, and a red carpet for the kids to walk down. The teachers sang a song for the children, cut the ribbon, and then little by little the parents said goodbye and let the kids walk in. If Linda was nervous, she didn’t show it- she walked right in without ever looking back. Elizabeth on the other hand couldn’t contain herself. Once Linda disappeared out of sight she started bawling “I want Linda, I want my sister…” Despite Superwife’s best efforts, she was in pretty bad shape for a while. Once all the kids were inside, the school chorus sang “Be Our Guest” for the parents and siblings still assembled outside. It seemed to cheer Elizabeth up a bit.

We took lots of pictures and a few movies. I’ll see if  I can post some when I get home tonight.

Oh Snap(shot). New Photos

Hey everyone. We've been pretty busy lately. Superwife keeps our summer scheduled filled with all kinds of stuff. Playdates, playground trips, volunteering to clean up parks... it has been a busy summer so far. I have added some new photos to the Flickr page, so click on over and have a look.

Coolest Block

Check this out. Superwife won our entire block a free roof! She went door to door gaining signatures, explaining the contest to our neighbors, and filling out the application. I'll see if I can get her to write a few words on the press conference she and the girls had with the Mayor yesterday on the top of one of the city's skyscrapers, but in the meantime click the link for an article on her "cool" accomplishment.
