This month is such a special one.....



Six years ago today I had my twins, Matt had an anxiety attack and little Kate had a melt down. As scared as I was about the prospect of twins I can't imagine life without them. Here are six reasons why:
Emma:

1. She is the greatest cuddler. Her body molds into yours and it's beyond cozy, she has done this since birth.

2. She is a home body she just likes to be at home usually surrounded by blankets, stuffed animals and pillows.

3. She has a lot of empathy. It mostly appears when after much torment (given by Emma) her brother begins to cry.

4. She has a definate sense of style, I am not allowed to pick out her clothes. She asked for a halter top for her birthday, I think we have lived in Vegas too long.

5. She is funny and her laugh is even funnier it's deep and it's hearty. I love it.

6. She's a wonderful little girl, people want to be around her, and I love having her in our family.

Ryne:

1. He knows no strangers. He jumps into new situations with both feet and enjoys them.

2. Ryne makes sure that you know he loves you. At bedtime when you tell him you love him he says, "I love you too, I said I love you too" this continues until you say thanks or I heard you.

3. He is confused about the appropiate time to wear underwear. I have many times found him with undies underneath his swimming suit, and last night when Matt told him to put on pj's he said do I need to keep my underwear on.

4. The first thing he says to me each morning, "can I play the computer?"

5. Volume control is tough for him. The only time he uses a quiet voice is when praying and it's so quiet no one can hear him.

6. He is a fabulous little boy, he is so much fun to be with, I love that he is mine.

Happy Birthday Emma and Ryne we love you, did you hear me I SAID WE LOVE YOU!!!
