I was digging through the file cabinet a couple of days ago looking for a receipt, and I came across the file labeled "twins 2006". As I glanced through the file I found this picture taken during the girls first hour on February 14, 2006. How could my babies have ever been this tiny?! The picture made me long to go back, because truthfully I can't remember what it felt like to hold these little baby girls. I know the feeling of holding a nearly 50 pound girl (I did it today in Tom Thumb...and La Madeline :)....but an infant, that feeling is gone. :( They were so tiny 5lbs 8oz and 6 lbs 2 oz. They were definitely smaller than the boys were at birth, but they were great weights for twins.I get a lump in my throat when I come to the realization that they aren't babies anymore. I didn't really listen when people would tell me to soak it all in while they're tiny. I guess life was a bit wild...when we brought them home from the hospital at 4 days of age. One of their brothers was 16 months old, the other was 7 years old, I was facing going back to teaching when they were 5 weeks old, and their daddy was in the big middle of tax season at the accounting firm. Those early months are a definite blur, but I would totally do it all over if I could. I'm better at soaking in the moments now, I try not to let anything slip by. In 23 days they will be 5 years old! How has 5 years gone by? Time has truly flown.
This year the girls want to go and get a mani/pedi with me, and then they want to get their ears pierced the day before their party. I've imagined doing those things with a daughter since I was a little girl, and now I'm living my dream x2!

I can't believe they are going to be 5 either! The were such sweet little "birdies" when they were born. I loved getting to hold 2 tiny banies at one time! Yeah for mani/pedis and pierced ears.....wish I could be there- how exciting!!!!!!!!!
