Oops, I did it again---WAY late with the post this time, sorry! I just keep putting it off b/c the pictures have been taking forever, etc. and finally got some time this weekend while the babies were away! Seriously cannot believe a year has gone by---it has TRULY been the absolute best year of our lives, and I couldn't ask for anything more!! I wouldn't trade one second of our lives, even the insanity of the first few months, because these angels have given us the world we never knew we could have!! I'm not going to get all sentimental, but babies when you read this 10 years from now, I just want you to know how incredibly and unconditionally loved you are by SO many people. And to quote my Favorite musical..."because I know you, I have been changed for good"
Our house is SO full of energy now with them all walking so well (started at 11 months so they've mastered it by now!), talking up a storm (see words they say below), and exploring every nook and cranny of the house since we took ALL the gates down--well except the one blocking off their "wing" of the house! (recently converted our guest bedroom to a "toddler toyroom" and they LOVE it--right next door to the nursery, so they have that whole area to themselves....well along with the kitchen, den, our room, bathrooms....hahahh you know what I mean don't you?!)
