happy birthday - times two!

Five.
I can scarcely believe it.
It surely doesn't seem five years ago.
Holding their tiny bodies in my arms.
Specifically, one in each arm.
Cradling them both to me.
I miss those days so much more than I can say.
I treasure these days - these months - these years.
I can't wait to see what this one brings.

Thank you God, for my double blessings.

That's it! All morning... "what is today? It's something, someone's birthday, but it isn't written down...". I love having answers to my questions.

Happy birthday little ones! I can hardly believe you're already 5!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWINSIES!!!!
I remember when they were teeny tiny too. I can't remember if it was Erich or Amber who I held - but it was the first time I had ever held a newborn. Only because 'mom' made me pick them up :)
