The next TwinTuesday is November 24, 2009!

Having another "scaled-back" TwinTuesday this week :-) Still just have a lot going on right now... although, again, one of those things is preparing for my big trip! I am flying to Phoenix, Arizona to meet up with some old friends in early December and, since I heard from some fellow Twin Moms (who live near the Phoenix area), that they might be interested in meeting up, I decided to set up the 1st official "TwinTuesday Tweet-Up!" :-) So, here are the details:

When: Tuesday, December 8, 2009 at 7PM

Where: Majerle's Sports Grill, 24 North 2nd Street, Phoenix AZ 85004

Who will be there:

Jennifer Miller (aka @TwinHappyJen)

There are actually more who have said they'll be there, but I'm waiting to post them until I confirm once again that they will actually be there... the more the merrier, though, so if you'd like to join us, just reply to this post and/or send me an e-mail at jennifer@twinhappy.com :-) I think it'll be a lot of fun! I'm making it at 7 so, everybody can have plenty of time to get there, maybe get something to eat, maybe a couple of drinks... and then if it's your thing (I know it's mine :-p), they start karaoke at 8:30 :-) Hopefully that won't scare some of you off... :-p

Oh and btw--one other thing I'm planning on doing this trip? Finally finishing "The Last Will of Moira Leahy" by @ThereseWalsh! I just still find it so hard to get reading time in nowadays... but, I think this will be the perfect time to finally read this! And then, when I get back, I can finally do not only a review but a giveaway, as well, of this book!

Anyway, back to today's TwinTuesday: I'm again taking a little break from the giveaways... but I think I may actually have one lined up for next week. But, at the very least, I plan on doing my usual TwinTuesday tweet-out (using the names from the TwinTweeters list) and, of course, gotta at least have a QOTW! :-)

Question of the Week: What is your favorite Thanksgiving memory involving your twins so far? I know some of you may not have a lot to choose from yet, but I'm actually going to share one from Thanksgiving 2004... which was just shortly after finding out that I was pregnant with twins! We decided that Thanksgiving dinner would be the perfect time to break our news, since the whole family was gathered together anyway. A few actually already knew that I was pregnant... but nobody knew that it was twins, yet! So, it was a great icebreaker for the evening :-) Actually, the only people who did know that we were having twins before the announcement, was my in-laws. And, at dinner, my Mother-in-Law presented me with a baby name book. We actually already had names picked out... one for a girl (Anna), one for a boy (Robert). Although, while we did not yet know the sexes of our twins, we knew the possibility existed that, we would have to pick out a second boy's or girl's name. I was never able to decide on a second boy's name... which, ultimately turned out to be unnecessary, of course :-p But, I actually found a second girl's name in the book that I settled on almost immediately: Josephine (or Josie, for short). Not only did I like sound of both the full and shortened version of the name, but the description of what the name meant just seemed perfect, too: "May God grant you another child." I'll admit that I'm not a particularly religious person... but, I couldn't help think, "That He did... that He did..." :-D

So, what's your favorite Thanksgiving memory involving your twins? If you don't really have one, you can also just answer with why you are thankful that you have twins.

OK, that's it for this week... have a great TwinTuesday (as well as Thanksgiving) everyone!!

P.S. Because it's the season for it, can't help but do a little shameless self-promotion :-p If you're looking for a gift for twin children or even a family expecting twins, be sure to check out my book "Two Snowflakes!"
