What a difference a YEAR makes!

Wow, how time flies when you are having fun!
The babes are now a year and it has been an amazing ride so far (bday pics below).






Babes are pretty amazing! Zora is about 4 pounds heavier than Ravi and has developed faster than he has, as girls tend to do.
She was walking at 10 months and Ravi just started walking at 12 months.

What have I learned:
I’ve learned that I can’t control everything.
I’ve learned that I (and everyone else on this planet) is capable of more than we could ever know
I’ve learned that love conquers all

Next Chapter:
I’ve decided to move to Salt Lake City, Utah for a great career and family opportunity.
I will miss California (its weather and chill, tolerant vibe and people) as well as my friends here, but I’m excited to raise my kids in a slower, more wholesome and family-friendly environment.

I’m so grateful  to SCI and all the family and friends who have sacrificed so much to make sure that my babes are happy and healthy babies. Not sure how often I will keep this blog up, but I thought I would give a quick update.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!


Holiday Shoot
My good friend Erickson did me a big favor and did a holiday photoshoot with me, Cece, and the babes. It gave me great pleasure to send my family holiday cards this season. It was a very stark realization that I have a family now. Here are some of my favs from the shoot!


Gaydadswag.com
There is this new website called Gaydadswag.com and they gave me and the babes a quick shout out on their website, so I wanted to give them a shoutout as well. It is a cute site that celebrates and brings together gay dads all around the world.

Back to Work
Thursday 1/2/14 was my first day at work and it went well. I was surprised that I still had a lot of energy after work. I guess taking care of twins full time for 4 months was a lot more intense than a 8-5pm executive job. =)
We will see how the rest of the first month back goes.
I know many parents have separation anxiety going back to work but I didn't necessarily have that. I guess my mentality is that I have to work to provide for them so I'm a little less emotional about it all.

DayCare Search
The daycare search is pretty much over. I was working with an agency and finally settled on an amazing provider who lives less than 3 minutes from me and is on my way to work. That was a big stress and weight taken off of my shoulders.
