My Sunshines

I will unfortunately not have any pictures to share on this post so if that is what you are looking for just check back in about 2 weeks. Our computer is in the shop getting fixed and if they can't fix it we get a new one for free! So I am using my old laptop from high school. I finally got it connected to the internet....with a cord, but better than nothing. Brandon is in Arizona this week for work and Mom is on a trip too - both of my main helpers have left me alone with 2 babies! Not really - Mamur is staying with me until Brandon gets home.

I'm not glad she has it but am glad it took over a year for her to get sick, although she's not really "sick". We did have to cancel our playdate today just to be safe, but she's acting completely normal. Still climbing on everything in sight and feisty as always. I gave her Benadryl twice today...

I would be able to "enjoy" it more. I'm just so thankful for what God has given me and Brandon. There is no greater (earthly) gift imaginable. We had a regular 'ole day at home and went to Jason's Deli with both sets of grandparents for dinner on their actual birthday. Hutch and Anniston got to eat their first (organic, sugar free) sucker and loved it! We had their birthday party on January 2nd, after all the holiday hoopla was over. It was a farm theme. We had all of our famliy and friends together (minus sick Gigi, boo!!) for a time of celebration. We were all surprised that they HATED their cake. Yes, it was vegan, organic, milk/butter/egg free but it did not taste ba...

Happy Valentine's Day! Happy St. Patrick's Day! Happy Easter! Happy 4th of July! Happy Halloween! We were a WKU football player and cheerleader! Happy Thanksgiving! Oh how thankful we are for the joy these children have brought us and for their health and happiness!! Merry Christmas!! We loved Santa! Happy New Year!

I'm trying to get caught up with a few pics of the first year...I'm getting there!

35 weeks and 3 days....you can't tell by looking at me but I had just endured 16 1/2 weeks of STRICT bedrest!! I had a c-section at Baptist. Pretty traumatic for me but I survived! First time laying eyes on what I thought I would never have. TRULY an answered prayer!
