Zero to Twins » When two becomes four in nine months

Welcome!

I'm Justin. That lovely lady is Lara. And the two of us write about the two of them: Jack and Emmeline.

What's the best way to bring up such a precocious pair when you've had no prior experience being a mommy or daddy? Don't ask us. We're still figuring it out.

What we can offer you is an honest look into our Adventures in Babyrearing: The challenges, the triumphs, and all the events in between. We'll share the days when parenting isn't everything it's cracked up to be and the days when parenting is the most magnificent thing in the world.

There are also product reviews -- each one meticulously tested with the utmost rigor by our two little lab technicians -- and round-ups of some of the most weird and wonderful parenting-related links on the Web.

So stick around, subscribe for an RSS feed or email updates, and watch two reasonably intelligent adults stumble through their first go at parenthood with two of the most maddening, charming, frustrating, adorable, devilish, and angelic children to ever grace the face of the Earth.

When two becomes four in nine months, it's like going from zero to twins.

Project #3.

Remember my infatuation with this family book, via A Cup of Jo? I got right on making that.

So because I’m a huge copycat, I stole a couple of design elements from it, like the brightly colored title pages.

But we decided to write a little something about each person, to make it more like a story book.

I think if you go to this link you should be able to see the whole book — I think I made it public. I used Blurb, because I’ve used them before (we used them for our wedding album and were thrilled) and had the software already on my computer. It should be here by the end of March and hopefully we will start really familiarizing the babies with their grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins!

Oh my gosh, this is the coolest thing ever! I’ve been planning (and procrastinating) on doing this with a cheapy 4×6 photo album FOREVER but this is so much better! So going to jump all over this the next time one of the photo sites has discounted photo books. Thanks so much for the great idea!

Thank you so much! But it wasn’t my idea. You reminded me to make sure and go back to put the links to the inspiration in the post. Thanks for reminding me and thanks an awful lot for reading — we really appreciate it!!

Ok, we may have to steal this idea- so cute.
