Sylvia and Evelyn Turn One!!!!

On April 28, 2009, our little girls, Evelyn and Sylvia, turned 1. It is hard to believe 365 days ago at 7:17pm and 7:18pm our lives changed forever, in the best possible way. We have come so far and have experienced so much. It is truly amazing how much love you can feel for your babies.

They are incredible little girls now. I think the days of calling them "babies" may be over. They look and act like little girls. They love purses, fake lipstick, their dolls, bears, and playing in their playhouse. They now give big hugs, climb into your lap, kiss each other, and continue to melt our hearts with their laughs and smiles.

We are so lucky. People often ask us if we want to have more children. My response is almost always "Why?" David and I have a perfect life and a perfect family. Sure, another baby wouldn't make it unperfect, but we don't feel the need to change one thing. Life is good. Two on Two is great. There's plenty of love for these little girls and I couldn't imagine taking any of my time, effort, energy away from them.

We were told early on to "Soak Up the Magic" of having children. We do that every day. They are the best thing that ever happened to us. We couldn't be happier!

Happy Birthday, Evelyn and Sylvia. Mommy and Daddy love you very much.

Note about the pictures. They are getting so big and restless. We are going to transition into taking the pictures on the floor. We may have to take the pictures solo too. It is very difficult for Evelyn to sit still enough to take a decent picture.
