Twins!

A look into a typical night at the Doyle household.

by Joe Doyle on September 1, 2008

Food and fits and laughter and shenanigans and bath time – every night is chaos from 5:30-8. We spend most of our time feeding, cleaning and entertaining Katie and Patrick. Exhausting, but quite fun.

Click below to see some grainy iPhone images in their full, um, glory. The camera on that thing is nowhere near as good as my old Sony Ericsson.

Just a taste for all you northerners – the real deal will be in front of you very soon. We’re all looking forward to it.

Three for Thors Day

by Joe Doyle on July 31, 2008

Remember when you learning about where the names of days originated? Thursday is after the God of Thunder, Thor. Not to be confused with this God of Thunder, Thor.

What the hell was Wednesday?

Last weekend Corky and Karen drove to Austin to see visit the family and celebrate 44 years of married bliss.

Wow.
44 years.

I’m in still in awe. How did you put up with him for so long, Karen?

Grandma Karen presented Katie and Patrick two beautiful outfits (each) that she custom crafted. She could open a business selling these outfits, they’re that good.

PJ looks resplendent in his red-pinstriped baseball overalls (thank God they’re not blue like a certain team I despise). I love to hold him in the seersucker.

Katie is cool as a cucumber in her side-vented shirt with matching bloomers. The patterns are fun.

Dessert as seen through my iPhone. The service at Eddie Vs was impeccable, and they brought this amazing molten chocolate cake for the Karen and Corky. So. Damn. Good.

Wednesday’s theme.

by Joe Doyle on July 23, 2008

Grandpa Bob – stop sending pictures, dangummit. You’re giving me unnecessary work over here.

Today’s theme includes a new venue and new clothes for the kids. Yes, we actually do dress them in other things.

Getting ready for our trip to the park with a little indoors play action.

Patchwork PJ is growing out of my favorite outfit for him. Need to find an equally suitable cute replacement.

Grandma Jean was awfully proud of this capture, and now you see why.

“If you’re going, I’m going, too.” Molly loves the slides.

Kids are great, but I’ll get back to more important things like bashing the Cubs and advertising anecdotes in a few. Then Grandpa Corky and Grandma Karen will be in town for their anniversary (45 years?), so I’m sure we’ll have more kiddo fun to post.

Have a great day!
