Brotherly Love

The boys were playing at their table today and, as always, they found themselves in the same spot. Most of the time I put them on opposite ends, yet the creep towards each other. Normally, Jeremiah will fuss that Michael is in his spot - but this time Michael put his arm around Jeremiah and they both started chuckling and leaning towards one another. It was a moment to remember!







I love having twins! Love it!

We had their one year old pictures done today. I am very excited about that. A woman in our church did them and we met her at a local park that was absolutely beautiful! They boys were good sports as they had to do 4 wardrobe changes (Including a monkey costume). They took a VERY good nap this afternoon as a result! Hopefully we will get them online by this weekend, so be on the lookout. :)

I went to the doctor yesterday just for a routine visit. The doctor was nice, no Dr. Nett (of course), but she was kind and was just amazed at the weirdness of my body - you all know I am not normal at all! I feel like I would be comfortable having her deliver our next child when we decide (actually when God decides) to extend our family - which, for all you curious people out there, will not be any time soon. I used to say that once we started having kids, I just wanted to keep going until we were done. But once we got pregnant with the boys, I then said I HAD TO HAVE at least 2 years - for my own sake. But that would mean that we would have to be pregnant in August for them to be 2 years apart, and we just don't feel ready for that - by any means! So, we will wait on the Lord to let us know when it is time to extend our family. We feel very confident that when the time is right we will know it. I remember we debated for about a year on whether or not to get off BC. And in July of 2007 we both knew, 100%, that it was the right time - and voila - a month later we got pregnant with the boys! What a blessing!

Well we have a very busy week and month ahead of us. We have a youth yard sale to raise money for the Summer Camp this Saturday. Mike is swamped with going through stuff that people have donated. I know he will be glad when Saturday is over - it is a lot of work! The next weekend is the Easter Musical. Both Mike and my mom are playing in it - so we will get a nice visit from Grandma Mimi - the boys have already expressed their excitement. The following weekend is the boys birthday - OH MY - they are almost a year old, you have got to be kidding me!!!! Those precious boys of ours! We will be doing their birthday party the following weekend on the 18th. We are excited about visits from both sides of the family as we praise the Lord and celebrate Michael and Jeremiah's first year! What a blessing they have been! The following weekend Mike and I and the boys will be taking a trip to Vidalia for the Vidalia Onion Festival - Whoo hoo! Onions and Airplanes - ALL WEEKEND LONG!

So as you can see, things are packed for us in the month of April! It was an amazing month for us last year and we look forward to the memories that will be created this year!
