My Pride and Joy

I am just a few short days away from entering my 3rd trimester - yippee!  I can hardly believe it.  This pregnancy is going by so very quickly.  Some days I feel as though I barely slow down enough to enjoy the movement made by this new little one, but I try.  I don't want to miss this special time I have with him.  This picture of Jer and I was taken at 26.5 weeks along.  

Joshua and Saray keep me smiling and also keeping me super busy.  They really are best friends; they have such a bond that I will never quite understand.  It amazes me.  Saray sure loves Joshua; she loves giving him hugs and kisses.  Joshua protests a little, but most of the time he is very patient with Saray and her ways of showing affection.  

There are moments in my day where I just sit back and watch the twins interact, they play so well together (most of the time); their latest interests are necklaces and book reading in boxes. They truly are blessed to have one another as a twin and a playmate.  I love these kids...they are my pride and joy.

Here are a few more pictures for you to enjoy...

First time having a sucker...let me just say that they are HUGE fans..

 

 
I love this picture of Saray and her Daddy.  Saray is such a Daddy's girl.

Joshua's favorite toy and favorite activity - pushing this toy all through the house.

 

 

Trips to the Library

Our latest adventures have been to the library.  We have a wonderful library where the kids can play (not always so quietly) and read books.  Josh and Saray's favorite part of the library is the reading loft in the kids area (which is a little 2 story open top fort with 5 stairs leading to the top); they go up and down the stairs over and over again, and laugh loudly with glee as they run off some energy.   I can't help but laugh (quietly) right along with them.  Saray also enjoys running through the library; she often stops to see if you are coming after her, and if you are, she runs even faster and further into the heart of the library.  Josh on the other hand is pretty content to stay in the kids area with the large books and the reading fort.    The library is becoming a favorite place of ours (all over again). 
Here are a few pictures of our last trip to the library, enjoy!

How Quickly We Forget...

Last night Jer and I were hanging out reminiscing about the days past.  We were in awe/shock of how much the twins have changed since they first arrived.  It's amazing how quickly we forgot what they used to look like, or how they used to act, etc. We get so caught up in the moment that we often fail to remember how it used to be. That is why its important, and okay, to remember...

Here are a few pictures of the early days...
