2 months

We are 2 months old!!! WOW time flies...in fact we turned 2 months last year but mom is a bit slow!

sharing

Having twins means that I have to be shared between them and they are practicing sharing other things too...

sharing the Oregon Teams

sharing hands

sharing foreheads

sharing the bouncy seat

Santa

The boys first visit with Santa...I think they both asked for a bigger car for Mom. They are such good kids!

My Boys

My sweet boys day 1

I am so blessed...I have my twin boys home with me and I get to stay home with them. It feels like I have been given everything I ever dreamed of. I have a husband who I love and who loves me with all my quirks. I have 2 beautiful sons and I love them more every minute. I am staying home with them because we have faith that it is the best thing and because we have the support of our families. Our faith in the Lord is being strengthened daily as we see the blessings that have come into our lives. It really is amazing when you are living the life you were meant to have, everything around just gets that much better.

Here are a few pictures I love...

Love

I feel so blessed! Not only am I having two babies, I am having them with a man I love more deeply everyday! He may not be the kind of man that makes me candle light dinners with rose pettles on the bed...he is the kind of man who spends hours refinishing a dresser because I asked him to. He is the kind of man who will hang curtains at 11pm because I am in tears about how much we still have to do for the boys room. He is the kind of man who redesigned the front yard so that there will be more grass for the boys. He is the kind of man who calls me in the middle of his day because he wanted me to know what he had for lunch or that is only took him 12 minutes to get to work. He is the kind of man who is there when I need him for a hug, a kiss or simply to help me carry something. He makes loving him so easy!

I love my husband so much and I can't wait to see him as a father because I know he will love our boys in the same way he loves me. That means they will always know he is there for them no matter how small or big the need.

Vacation

We just got back from Cape Cod for Ryan's family reunion. We had a great time and enjoyed being on the East Coast and seeing his family. Every time I am there I realize how much I miss it and for at least the first 2 days I imagine moving back. By the end of the week I am so happy to come home and can't imagine living anywhere else but beautiful Oregon! The babies enjoyed the trip and seemed to grow bigger every day!



We also got to see our friends Simon and Nora in Middletown CT. Simon works for ESPN and we were able to go in and tour and pretend to be on TV. I think we have a future!
