Two!!!

Last night we flew back home from a week in Arizona.  Tucson will always have a special place in my heart since it's where Scott and I met and fell in love.  We also spent the first year and a half of our marriage there so it's fun to revisit some of our favorite parks, restaurants, etc.  The fact that it was sunny every day is also a huge perk!  The kids LOVED getting to play outside every day.  Grammy and Gramps spoiled them with fun toys and lots of quality one-on-one attention. They also planned a very sweet birthday party for the kids at a nearby park.  The day after we got to town was Luke and Amelia's second birthday -- a bittersweet day for their mama!  My heart is so very thankful that they are healthy and thriving and that God truly sustained them (and all four of us) through an intense pregnancy and beginning of their lives.  But there is always this twinge of sadness that they're growing up too fast.  I've often heard it said that the days can go by so slowly but the years too quickly.   I've found that to be very true with parenting.  These two have added an incredible amount of JOY to our home over the last two years!  Happy birthday Luke and Amelia!

Of course the balloons were a huge hit with the twins :)

They looked so old to me here ... Just hanging out with all the kids!
