The twins pretty much live outside now from the time they get up until its dark. Then its nice because with all the fresh air they sleep really well... along with me !! Have you ever been so tired at night you can't even talk ?? Thats me at the end of the day. They are growing up more each day and cracking us up with the things they say. They are pretty much like mini adults now (so they think) -- minus the potty training -- Arianna continues to boss Brayden around on a regular basis and luckily so far he doesn't seem to mind. If he is telling me something and she decides she wants to talk she just looks at him and say " NO talking to my mom" . So he just gets quiet and lets her talk. She really thinks she is his mother . Oh they are so sweet !!! They still love there "silkies" (blankets) and they work better than a band aid when they get hurt. They both sleep through the night except at about 3 AM we hear pitter patter of little feet and its Brayden coming in our bed to snuggle. And of course we let him. On a different note it is coming up on two years since the twins were placed in our arms. I am wanting time to slow down for the reason of my babies staying babies and also I fear the more time that goes by I will forget the miracle of adoption . I know I really won't ..... but I have noticed the more time that goes by its just so normal to have the twins. Which I know is a good thing but I just don't want to forget the miracle of them. Does that make any sense !!??

It does make sense...as time goes by the emotions fade a little. But when I watch the video of our visit and PU trips, or look at the pictures we were sent while she was there, the thoughts and feelings quickly flood back. I don't think they ever, ever go away...we just kind of "put" them away sometimes since life is so busy! But the miracle of how they came to us...I don't think we will ever, ever forget:-) OH....and beautiful pictures...AS ALWAYS!!

Oh it makes so much sense to me. In a few weeks it will be 1 year since we became a forever family so I am right in sync with your feelings. I've been working on a book about our pick-up trip and that brings me back.
The twins are super cute and I'm glad you're all enjoying the Spring weather.
They are growing to fast....But then again these days are flying by like a plane!!!
Precious babies is all i can say
Totally makes sense to me! I am counting down the days until school is out and I can just keep all of us together for a few months and just enjoy them and cherish them with out having to run so much.

AWESOME PHOTOS!
Glad you are enjoying the sunshine!
I love looking at all your pictures they look so professional---but how can you not take great photos when those Guatemalan Gifts are so photogenic!!!

I love hearing Brayden's precious little voice!
I understand exactly what you are saying about the miracle of adoption. August will be 3 years for me and even tho we are settled into a routine and August of 2005 seems more and more like a distant memory, the miracle of adoption takes a new meaning to me all the time. I think the Lord puts me in situations that help me remember His blessing of adoption, that He wants me to focus on, and I am so greatful for that.
You make perfect sense! But that is a good thing too, I mean for everything to feel so normal. I love Arianna's hair!
It all makes so much sense. I am with you on the forgetting. But, as soon as I think back my heart fills with the joy of it all.
They are getting so big. I love A's hair. So cute. Brayden gets more and more handsome everyday.
I love how A thinks she is in charge and he lets her. Good training for when he is married!!!
Reese lives outside too.
Oh, I love Arianna's hair!!
And I totally get what you're saying! Mirrors my thoughts exactly!
The twins are so beautiful. Being outside is the best...it so exercises the imagination! My kiddos LOVE being outside all the time too.
I know what you mean about "forgetting" about the miracle that is the adoption of our children. I don't think the feeling we get in our hearts and stomachs will ever go away when we think about visit and pick up trips, as well as the feeling of having our children at home forever for the first time.
What cute pictures! I love that Arianna is trying to pet the dog as she swings:) You make perfect sense. It seems that since our kids have come home the emotional rollercoaster we were riding seems to have come to a halt. Our emotions now are focused towards breaking up fights and potty training:) Those feelings from our visit & pick up trips will never go away. I think we now focus on making memories with our children. In the future I think those feelings will come back...I can't wait for the family tree project to come home from school. I want to teach my children the gift of adoption and what a miracle it is. We will never forget...we just refocus.
It makes perfect sense. Everyday I am just so thankful for Isaiah and cant believe that I have him home. I take a tome of pictures of him EVERYDAY because I don't want to miss a second of the blessing that he is!!!!
Love the pictures! And Yes, it makes total sense! Playing catch up yet again! Miss ya!
Oh, Katie - that makes perfect sense!! I am always trying to remember the details, because when your kids are home, you are just BUSY being Mommy. And I am definitely in touch with the "being so tired you can't even talk."
Arianna sounds soooo cute "MY mommy" - look out, Mommy! I think you've got a spitfire!
