This weekend I was talking to another mom friend of a newly minted two year old. We were at the corn maze and she had to put her son in time out. We laughed. It is sort of the rite of passage for any good mother to do this. Rachel and Harmon have had quite a few in their day. Callum on the other hand is pretty mellow. If I tell him no he just stops but on Friday Callum earned his "2 yo" label and had to be given his first time out. I was getting dressed and he saw Rachel playing with something so he pushed her on the ground. I laughed when I realized on Saturday that this had been Callum's first time out (and he took it with grace and remorse). I'm sure it won't be the last but hopefully he won't feel he needs to catch up for lost time!!!!!

This is the story of two strong willed parents, 3 fabulous kids; mixed in with some Longhorn loving, a family business, two cats, a dog, and now a gaggle of ducks. All 3 kids were born in 21 months and since than we have had quite a few more challenges; but nothing we can't handle.
Why Cupcakes?
Our last name rhymes with Cakes and so when I got pregnant I nicknamed Harmon "Baby Cakes". Than when we got pregnant again 13 mos later, and we found out we were having twins so we called them "the Cupcakes".
