With Mike, I gained two large “babies” named Montana and Cassidy. I quickly learned how to feed, tuck in, walk, scold, coersce and otherwise manage two dogs. Then we adopted our own first-born, Sonoma, and my education continued.With Sonoma, we went tohttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TwinsOnAnIsland/~3/Xqcu8wT4Ods/san-pellegrino-in-sippee.htmlalecia@twinsonanisland.com (Island Twins Mama)1<p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/D-ms4WYUocRnDxu-WuSSy5S-Ins/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/D-ms4WYUocRnDxu-WuSSy5S-Ins/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/D-ms4WYUocRnDxu-WuSSy5S-Ins/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/D-ms4WYUocRnDxu-WuSSy5S-Ins/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TwinsOnAnIsland?a=Xqcu8wT4Ods:l-H0JU575Yg:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TwinsOnAnIsland?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TwinsOnAnIsland?a=Xqcu8wT4Ods:l-H0JU575Yg:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TwinsOnAnIsland?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TwinsOnAnIsland?a=Xqcu8wT4Ods:l-H0JU575Yg:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TwinsOnAnIsland?i=Xqcu8wT4Ods:l-H0JU575Yg:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TwinsOnAnIsland?a=Xqcu8wT4Ods:l-H0JU575Yg:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TwinsOnAnIsland?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TwinsOnAnIsland?a=Xqcu8wT4Ods:l-H0JU575Yg:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TwinsOnAnIsland?i=Xqcu8wT4Ods:l-H0JU575Yg:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TwinsOnAnIsland/~4/Xqcu8wT4Ods" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.twinsonanisland.com/2009/05/san-pellegrino-in-sippee.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358476844416423854.post-429606372446688346Mon, 04 May 2009 16:19:00 +00002009-06-11T10:06:51.420-07:00pool"Sfimming!" yells Delaney."Me Sfim!" says the Pirate Hayden."DimSuit?" asks Delaney."No, Meese DimSuit," answers Pirate."Me Ready!" says Delaney.And they both pull off all their clothes and run to the pool.

Always have. Father, godfather, husband, and now son.Fortunately all these guys have pretty good taste in their florals, and generally leave the dress socks and sandals behind.
