Andy and Ashlyn entered the world and into our hearts. 
What a difference a year makes.
Andy and Ashlyn turned a year old today. Most people think it has flown by and can't believe it has been a year already. It is a little different for me. It seems so long ago that we took that top picture and they were that small. This last year has been one of the most challenging years I have ever experienced and yet also one of the best. After the twins were born my sister told me that I looked happy. Of course you are happy after a baby is born but it was different this time. I felt an overwhelming peace after they arrived. They completed our family and completed me. They have brought so much joy and love into our family and we absolutely adore them.

Andy is our sweet little man with a smile that will melt your heart. He is desperately trying to talk and now says hi and hey all day long. He says uh oh and oooo and will start to whisper jibberish when he wants to tell you something. He also gives 5's and loves his Daddy and Grandpas. I think he feels a bit out numbered during the day so when the men in his life come around, he is very excited. He should be walking soon as he is not going to let Ashlyn do too much without him.
Ashlyn is the funniest baby with a mind all her own. She has to explore everything, climb on or into everything (whichever the situation will allow), put everything into her mouth, and no obstacle is too big for her. She is photogenic and enjoys be center stage. She is also a dancer and will even bounce to Taylor banging on her drum. She has very short legs but has mastered the art of walking and even tried to run today.
It has been so fun this last year watching their different personalities develop
and watch as they have become best little pals. I LOVE my babies!

Congratulations on making thru the first year. I love to watch them interact because they have a bond unlike anyone else. I am so glad that you feel complete and happy I don't know anyone that deserves it more!
of my goodness! I miss them more than anything! They are so cute I can't wait to see you guys!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to two very adorable kids!!
We are the worst family ever for not getting you guys called- I always wait for the kids to get home so they can call, then the evening gets too busy! We are so happy they had a great first birthday- what an exciting year. We love you and will call tomorrow. THe kids want to sing to them!
With almost 9 grandbabies to watch grow and develop into their own selves, our lives are so blessed. It is so great to live close enough to you to enjoy more of each stage, it has been an amazing year, and I know the next few will go by quickly too. I agree, you are an amazing Mom & Dad!
happy birthday!! It is so crazy what a year will do. Adorable kiddys. I love the birthday badges and love the new born beanies too. SO cute.
