Ella and Eli turned ONE!!!

Chris and I feel a sense of accomplishment...making it through the first year with twins. Everyone I knew that has twins said that the first year flies by and it is the most difficult. As of now I would have to agree...some things are about the same as dealing with one baby, you just do it twice (two bottles to make, two babies to feed, two diapers to change, two baths to give, etc.). Adding our lovely three-year old to the mix is a challenge as well. I must say though that Lilly has handled life as a big sister to twins very well. She often says "I love my brother and sister", "they are so cute", "they are watching me", "here let me calm them down"... Other things can be challenging as well, like going somewhere really does take twice, or three times as long- it takes planning and organization. I would not change anything about how my life has turned out. We are truly blessed...some days trying but definitely blessed.

Later I will post, with pics, about Eli and Ella's growth and all the fun things they are doing now...I need to go to bed. Night!
