Knock on Wood.

I am about to announce something that I hope doesn't come back and bite me in the rear BUT I can honestly say the twin thing is getting easier. It has been a long time coming, 21 months to be exact, but I am finally feeling a bit more free these days. They can play upstairs and in the backyard without my CONSTANT supervision, they stay in the cart at Sam's Club (woohoo, candy did help but at least NOW they can eat candy), I can even take them to the gym with me which a few months ago getting them in the door served as my workout. They talk more everyday which is extremely helpful, tell me which cereal they want in the morning and eat it all because it is what THEY chose and not something I forced on them. Don't get me wrong there are times of complete anarchy in our home but what family doesn't experience that at times? They are growing up, becoming little people, and leaving the baby stage behind them. As I was looking through pictures from last year, I got a little misty eyed looking at those sweet baby faces, but I am having so much fun with them now and enjoying this stage. So to the few of you that read this that have been blessed with twins, just know it does get easier and let that knowledge guide you through each day and help you treasure all the sweet moments. It really does go by too fast.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from last October.
