Time flies when you're having FUN!!

Happy Birthday Allie and AJ! On Saturday our babies turned one! It is sort of a bitter-sweet milestone! On one hand it is exciting to celebrate their birthday, but on the other hand it feels like my babies are not babies anymore. All the same, we had so much fun celebrating their birthday. Our family and friends all came out and of course, they were spoiled with a ton of gifts and they had their first peices of cake. Later, we had our families over for a big bbq!
This has been the most fun, exhausting and meaningful year of my life. I still can't believe how parenthood changes you. The other day I was driving down the road and I saw a kid on his way home from school biff it on his bike and he was crying. I felt so bad for him that I teared up myself. I was thinking later, I wouldn't have reacted that way before, but as a mom it kills me to think of my kids feeling sad or scared or hurt of embarassed. It is amazing how much I love these babies.
We are so blessed to have Allie and AJ and we are so happy that they came to us together! (I will post more pictures soon!)
