A Year in Review

It's been over a year since my last post.  Gosh, what a year it's been.  We no longer have babies, we have toddlers now.  Independent, amazing, strong willed, adorable, and very happy toddlers. 
When I last posted the boys were just starting to crawl.  Now they are walking, running, climbing and their little personalities are starting to really shine. 

This is a pic from when I last posted.

Here a couple recent pictures. 

We survived our first football season and are in the midst of our second.  The boys celebrated their first Christmas.

Were baptized.

Played in the snow for the first time with their cousins.

And celebrated their first birthdays.  They got their first horses...courtesy of my sister...she doesn't spoil them at all.

They also got their own cakes. 

They were dyed blue for two days afterwards. 

I couldn't have asked for a better first birthday weekend for my boys.  All of the grandparents were there to celebrate.  My sister went all out with the birthday cakes and hosted everyone at her house for dinner.  I really can't thank her enough...it was truly perfect. 

We also went to see the Easter Bunny.  Max was not a fan. 

I still can't get over the difference.  It seems just like yesterday when I look as some of these pictures and yet if feels like a lifetime ago that they were that little. 

Then:

Now:

It's been such an amazing year.  These little boys have captured my heart in so many different ways.  I still look at them every day and thank God for my little miracles.  I wish I was more consistent with blogging in the past year so I had more information to give them when they get older.  Little stories, pictures, etc on how things happened.  I hope to be more consistent with blogging, not only to share their growth with the family but to share it with them as well.  It goes by so fast.
