Twins!

Two videos for Tuesday

by Joe Doyle on November 25, 2008

First up is a video of the twins getting their hairs cut. It was kind of lackluster – I guess I was expecting a lot of crying and fits. The cuts were relatively easy on us, but not the pocketbook. Need to find a new place - The Hair’s Lair charges more than Birds Barbershop on Burnet.

My favorite parts of the video are PJ’s face when he gets sprayed with water and Katie starting to chair dance near the very end.

Second video is of my friend, Rebecca Much. I knew her when she was a junior racing on xXx in Chicago. She’s U.S. National champion (several times over) and won silver in the Worlds competition for time trial. In other words, she’s a hammer.

And a super nice person.

She needs our help, so please watch this video below and go to this website to rate her video five stars. She’s doing her part and telling her story on why the 2016 Olympics should be in Chicago. And as an Olympic-level athlete, I think she makes the most sense to be the winner.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends.

Twins by the numbers

by Joe Doyle on October 9, 2008

Went for a visit to our new pediatrician. Dr. Guerrero is very friendly, has a great demeanor with the kids and is full of sage advice. He inspected the twins, each got three shots and we learned of their current stats. At near 17 months:

Katie – 21lbs, 7oz., 30.75″, 15% weight, 30% height

Katherine running around under Cloud Gate in Millenium Park, Chicago.

Patrick – 25lbs, 2oz., 32.5″, 50% weight, 75% height

Patrick checks out the gaming action on vacation in Galena, IL.

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.
