Lights, camera, action!

Our adorable little Macey auditioned for her very first play on Friday, Little Women the Musical, and got a part! She got one of only 6 parts in the children's chorus, for which TONS of kids auditioned for! We are so proud of her! She is so excited she can hardly contain herself. She begins rehearsals later this month and the performances are October 25th-29th. Congratulations Macey! We love you!

The Twins Are 3!!!

Where have the last three years gone? Well, to be perfectly honest, the first year with twins is slightly blurred due to lack of sleep, but still, it has gone by so fast. These sweet little kids (not babies?! KIDS?!) are so incredibly amazing, we are so blessed to have them in our family. Being a mom to twins is so special, I am so glad that God chose me to be one of the lucky ones.

Ryan and Jenna are constantly entertaining us with their silly little antics and their special bond. They play together all day and have cute conversations non-stop. Yes, twin toddlers means "double the trouble", but it also means "double the love and entertainment." I love being able to watch a boy and a girl grow up at the same time, raised by the same parents, and see how truly different they are from each other. Even little things like throwing a football or how they express anger or frustration.

I have been thinking a lot about that crazy day three years ago and the scary and painful days leading up to it and following it. I am so thankful that Ryan and Jenna are so healthy for how early and tiny they were. Especially Ryan, as he gave us quite a scare for a day or two after he was born. Those weeks in the NICU were agonizing, but all of it was so worth it, and we now have these amazing little kids! This is the video from when they were born. There is nothing too graphic in it, but if you are really squeemish you may not want to watch it (it does show Ryan getting intubated for just a second).


Looking back at the last 3 years...
