Double Blessings

These two adorable little monkeys of mine are my pride and joy (you already know if you follow my blog.) I knew from the beginning they were meant to bless our life with all the love and joy that came with the difficulty of twin pregnancy, twin babies, twin toddlers, etc.

Today they learned they are going to be a big brother and big sister next summer! Yes, I am pregnant! Our frozen invitro round worked, thanks to all of you who sent us positive thoughts, prayers and well wishes. Now you know why I haven't been as faithful to this blog as usual. This morning we had our first ultrasound and this is what we saw...
A shocking set of two babies. While I just knew it was two with P&A this time I along with my husband and parents were sure it was one. (Maybe because it was only a 17% chance of twins.)
Now once the shock wears off and I begin to feel well, we have lots of plans to change for this second double blessing.

I knew it was going to be twins! Everything went so well for you last time and you had a great pregnancy - besides the many months of pukies and headaches - I knew you would be double blessed this time too! Yeah! Congrats to you & Jeremy and big sister Avery & big brother Paxton!

as the leaves start changing colors and the weather gets crisper, i know fall is here.  my FAVORITE!  the leaves falling from the trees along with the sound of the leaves blowing in the wind makes me giddy with delight.  with fall's arrival, i am quickly reminded the holiday season is fast approaching. i don't cook and i don't bake. okay... i don't like to. so for me the holiday's aren't about cooking or baking, they are about decorating and making things. one handmade tradition, i've held onto since childhood, is making placecards for family holiday meals. something i now do with my own little artists.   my style and skills have changed over the years but my love for making them has not.  when thinking of holiday traditions, most jump to christmas but i cherish thanksgiving. time to reflect on all to be thankful for and the nearing of falls end. to share my tradition with you, i've created a free...
