My How You Have Grown

5 years ago this evening we learned that tomorrow was the big day. The 9 weeks of bedrest were over, the 8 months of being pregnant with twins was over, and Oct. 4 would be when we got to meet our little boys. Hard to believe 5 years have gone by since then. They were so tiny when they were born and now I can barely pick them up. I'm not entirely unsure Ben won't be taller than me in the next couple years. They are the most amazing little boys and we're so excited to wish them a very happy 5th birthday!

Who looks like Who?


Ben, I love the passion you bring to life. When you feel a certain way, it radiates throughout you. Your excitement is contagious and your creativity inspiring. We can often find you lost in a book, working on an art project, or running through the house dressed up and in the middle of your own little superhero world. We love you so much!


Matt, your determination and perseverance inspire me and remind me not to give up too easily. I am so impressed that you have learned how to snap your fingers and how you stuck with it until you got it. You've never met a ball you didn't like, and it's exciting to see you really excel in soccer this year. I love how observant you are and how tapped in to other people you can be. You always seem to know just when I need a hug and your hugs are the best! Love you!

Hope the boys had a great 5th birthday. I've loved being able to watch them grow up both during visits and through this blog. Thanks for sharing!
