What do you want Santa to bring you?

So I'm talking with the kids tonight asking them what they want from Santa this year. I come around to Brynn to ask her. (As she's thinking, her little brother is climbing ALL over her and making farting noises...) So, she thinks about it for a minute and says..."Well, I can tell you what I DON'T WANT for Christmas..... ANOTHER LITTLE BROTHER!" I laughed sooo hard I almost wet my pants.

Caramel Apples

As a celebratory tribute to Fall, we made caramel apples as a family. Fall is my favorite time of year. My "grouchies" go away when the cool weather approaches. Making caramel apples reminded me of a song we sang as kids...."Caramel apples on a stick.. Makes my tummy SICK SICK SICK!" The kids loved getting sticky and messy without mommy putting a stop to it, and we all agreed that the "sick tummies" were well worth it. The apples were absolutely scrumptious!

My babies are 9!

Where does the time go? For those of you who don't know the girls' story....they were born at 26 weeks at weighed only 1lb13oz and 1lb14oz at birth. They are truly miracles and I'm soooo blessed to have them in my life. For some reason this year, I've reflected more on their oh so scary and fragile entrance into the world. I always knew since the time a was a little girl that I was gonna have twins, I just didn't expect to have to go through so much to get them here (and keep them here!). The Lord has blessed our family so much for allowing these two angels to "stay with us" on earth and teach us what miracles are all about. Today, Kassidy and Kinley are strong, bright, happy young girls and I can't imagine my life without them. I love you girls!
