In Love

My sweet boys are 8 months old today! I can't believe it has been 8 months already! I fall more and more in love with my children each and every day! Even on my worst days, I feel so blessed to have 3 healthy children that bring so much joy to my life! They are each unique and wonderful in their own right and I never knew I could love 3 little people so much!

Thing 1, Kipton: He is so laid back and methodical about each and every action.

He LOVES to EAT!!!

Thing 2, Coleson: The male version of Mini. He is impulsive, but full of life.

He loves to laugh!

Mini: She is me..."I created that monster ;)!" She is by no means a monster, but a sweet and loving spirited little girl! She loves her brothers and keeps us all entertained!

Wonderful Weather

We've had the most beautiful weather the past couple of days...right around 80 degrees with a light breeze! It's truly been awesome, if only it could stay like this year around. We went to the daffodil field today to take pictures. Most of the daffodil's were gone after about 3 weeks of foot traffic and kid's photo shots, and what flowers were left, Mini picked :o! You are definitely NOT suppose to pick the flowers...ooops! Even though getting all the children to look and smile at the camera proved challenging, we were able to get a few good pictures.

Frequently Asked Question

Q: So how is life with twins?

A: I would venture to say that 95% of the time, raising twins is very much the same as raising a singleton 2nd child...life is busy, but manageable. The other 5% of the time...WOW, there are no words!

Between 6:00-6:45 am is insane...I am changing diapers, changing clothes, nursing both boys, and giving both boys breathing treatments, while also trying to finish getting myself ready, so that all of my children and I can rush out the door to daycare. Did I mention that 3 days of the week, Bella and the boys go to 2 different daycares, which means 2 separate drop off spots for me.

Then there is also that fabulous hour at night (insert sarcasm) from 5:30-6:30 pm! Will is usually at work, so I am on my own. During this time, I am feeding both boys, which is no big deal...it's after the feeding where the challenge begins! The boys are both tired at this point of the night, so while I'm giving one a bath, the other one is screaming. Then once I get one bathed, dressed, and almost ready for bed, then it's bath time for the second boy...so the first one starts screaming. Did I mention that I am also giving each boy 2 breathing treatments at this time?! Where as most mothers would sing or do something to soothe the screaming children, I know that this does not work at this time of night for my children, so I become silent and focused on getting the job done and my sweet boys to bed.

As we like to say, "Life, it's always an adventure!"
