sarah!
what a great post :)
i know that your kids are adorable and have so much in common with mine!!!

Great post! They are precious!
I know that you continue to amaze me with every single post. I know that you have several thousand more for every sweet picture you post of them, and that makes me happy for you. They're going to know they were loved and that every little moment was captured to remember them being so innocent and sweet. I know that you're a wonderful, strong, beautiful lady... and I know that Allen is one lucky dog to have you as his wife and Mommy to your boys.
And I know that you write fantastic posts. :)
I know that when I read your blog about how amazing twin boys are, it makes me think I can get over the hurdles of my own twin boys right now, who are much younger than your little men.
I know I have to pray!
I also know that twin boys are exhausting, but that I wouldn't have it any other way, either.
I know that I have to be their advocate when I can't get people to listen to them, and that I have to find that fight in me.
I know that being a mom is both more rewarding and harder than I ever thought it could be.
I am so glad you posted on my blog today, so I could find you again! I didn't know what happened to you when you stopped posting, but apparently you were busy having twins! They are absolutely gorgeous, and I love the vid of their different crawling styles. They get where they want and that is what counts!
Your post makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time. I want to hop on a plane and give you a big hug. I'm really having trouble watching my little one move through the stages so fast and knowing I just can't do it again... if I did, I would never get to hop on a plane again! It helps to know that I'm not alone in so many things you wrote about. Hang in there. You have a beautiful family.
They are so cute. You better update about a certain someone that may have done something pretty cool.
Go Mason!
Wow! There is a lot going on and your boys are SOOOO cute! Both my kids spit up really bad and it is so annoying! Also, I bet you would really like the Signing Time DVD's. We love them- I think signing with babies and toddlers is the best!
