A Slice of My Heaven

 I have severely neglected this blog lately, so I'm making up for it with a reverse-chronology of photos and a few sparse words. I adore these sweet angels! I love how they want to be close, comfort each other when they are crying, talk to each other, and hold hands. I love their smiles, holding them close, hearing their cries, and watching them grow! Enjoy some of my favorite shots below:

 Baby blessings, where their dad blesses them andgives them names. We believe little children are perfect and innocent and that they don't begin to reach the age of accountability until they are age 8. In other words, little children can't sin, so they can't repent. Peanut, then Cricket.

BOGO Baby!!!...???

 Someone, somewhere, came up with the idea that having twins is a BOGO (Buy One Get One) deal. In fact, your pregnancy is BOGO, raising the babies is BOGO, and if you have them first, you will be completely immune to the fact that you are trying to care for two babies simultaneously. I think it goes something like this, "You won't know any different!"

Alas, while I will be the last person to complain about the rich blessing of having these amazing, precious twins, I must put to rest these ludicrous ideas. Indeed, when you change one diaper, you don't magically forget that you have another baby to change, and when both babies are crying, you don't magically forget about the other one while trying to soothe the first. It is twice the work at the same time, and while motherhood is magical and wonderful, one plus one still equals two. Double the pleasure, double the fun!!! But just look at those perfect little lips on my Peanut! Awwww...
