You will NEVER hear me say that it is easy. Actually, raising twin babies and a toddler is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. Good thing I don't do it alone. My husband is AWESOME!
We have been through a lot since November. I really do need to dedicate a post to that separate. We are doing really well despite all of the change. Our family is closer than ever. Our pastor hit the nail on the head at Church on Sunday. Your problems in life are what help you mature. He reminds us that God uses all things in our life for our life. He never waste time, he never wastes experiences. These experiences have matured us, they have matured our ability to make decisions for ourselves, for our children.
I feel like I have really left a lot out of the blog on what has been going on behind the scenes. Honestly, I think it has all been so overwhelming that I just did not have the energy to sit down and "lay it all out." Now that I look back, I have really been trying to just soak it all in. I am just trying sort out the roller coaster of emotions, and focus on what is important. Remembering the 1st year the twins’ life w/o all of the chaos. I am just trying to realize what is important to a 3 year old, and how much he needs me to communicate with him at his level, not my level. I love communicating at his level, it is actually a good stress reliever. Nothing like winding down from a hard day at work, by discussing the rules of soccer with a 3 year old, and of course how important it is to play with the blue soccer ball (his favorite.)
The babies are already 10 months old! I have been set back a little bit by this. They are growing so fast. I am trying to keep up! Tyson is starting back to school this week. He is so excited ... he told me he was ready to see his friends ... he wanted to know if his Ohio friends would be there. I let him know he would be making new friends. He was so sweet, he said "will they love me?"
Grandma and Grandpa Rose took the trio to get their pictures taken. It was an adventure for them, but the pictures turned out great!
