A Day in the Life- One Month Old Twins

I have started following a blog, TwinTalkBlog and was inspired by one of the "day in the life" posts.  There was a mom that did a "day in the life of one month old twins".  I thought it would be a great blog post and a fun way to look back at life with Gatlin and Houston at one month old.
