Mine are 16, 15, and 10, and wasn't it just last year that they were upright on the floor, chubby and alert, looking at some toy or listening to a story being read? I want to clutch at those times. I waited so long for them and now they are (two of them) adult-ish and I'm not ready.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796054000943386501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-81574536678488509882012-08-01T21:15:04.720-07:002012-08-01T21:15:04.720-07:00Nana is quite exceptional!

It's awesome and still one of the few diverse neighborhoods in Portland(we're very white and segregated). Over the last year I've seen 4 houses torn down. Cute bungalows once owned by the working man. In one instance not only was a house torn down but also 2 100plus year old fir trees. In it's place? TWO 3 story, 5 bedroom, 3 bath McMansion monstrosities constructed out of chipboard. They are so ugly and out of place. McMansions are also being built in place of the other 3 normal homes that have been torn down. <br /><br />I was told by a real estate person that my neighborhood has become "hot" and people are bidding 20-30k over the asking price of homes. <br /><br />Currently the bank is trying to foreclose on my 79 yr old neighbor because they gave her an illegal loan she supposedly hasn't paid back. 2 of her kids and 2 of her grandkids also live there. Sadly, I know the developers and flippers are chomping at the bit for them to be evicted.<br /><br />I'm angry too. <br /><br />On a happier note, please check out Portland's Popina swimwear. Super nice and made right here in Portland!<br /><br />http://www.popinaswimwear.com/Michellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-21058525695076450482012-08-01T09:53:14.637-07:002012-08-01T09:53:14.637-07:00May I ask where you are getting your bunk bed?

I thought the full bed might give more reading room and also extra space if the girls want to snooze together, but the room is small so I'm not sure if I should just get a standard bunk.

It's our one furniture splurge (we have ever made) and I justify the expense because the big kids will use and then the babies will use so we'll be getting our moneys worth (the bed also separates to become two twin beds so we'll have forever.) My kids are DYING for bunks and I think they're awesome. Storytime can just as easily be had on the bottom bunk anyway. (We typically read books to the kids in one bed, anyway.) <br /><br />And NO! Fable has the same duvet as one of the girls in the ChildStyle featured house. From Ikea. :)GIRL'S GONE CHILDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07130764109593048451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-37536000766959228012012-07-31T19:13:16.584-07:002012-07-31T19:13:16.584-07:00Great photos, the house is so put together, it loo...Great photos, the house is so put together, it looks like you have always lived there! Questions: bunk beds? Do you have? Would you get based on what you have seen in regards to function and design and longevity (can an adult sit and read and play without feeling the casket effect?)? Is the bunk bed with heart duvet the same bed Fable is sitting on? The bunks I see that I like are quite expensive and wondering if you think they are worth the $$$$?

All I can figure is that you must follow them around all day long with a professional camera, taking about 2,000 shots per day, and winnowing them down to the 20+ you post on your blog. Your kids are clearly beautiful, but I think my kids are beautiful, too, and I don't have any pictures as awesome as yours. For what it's worth, looking at the pictures of your kids - the twins especially - makes me appreciate MY twins (who are just a couple of months older) even more. They have much of the same wonder, enthusiasm, excitement, and joy... I can't seem to capture it on film, but when I see it in pictures of other babies, it makes me remember it in my own.
