I don't pretend to be a great writer, but hopefully some of you will find humor in my everyday chaos. One of the main reasons for wanting to do this, was to have a creative outlet in which I can process my thoughts, look back on the day (or week, or month) and smile. Ever since we were blessed with twin boys in addition to our beautiful toddler Addison, our life moves at a frightening pace. I literally have to laugh (even when I sometimes want to cry) that as soon as I get all three down for a nap, run around the house picking up the morning mess and even BEGIN to contemplate something such as brushing my teeth (!) - the first child somehow senses this and is back up again ready to hit the ground sprinting! Our days begin at 5am and I am not really sure they ever end! I've decided the key to surviving three children at these young ages is mental surrender. Just don't expect time to do anything and if somehow the stars align and you are able to drink your coffee before it is ice cold - praise God!! So....short story long :), this blog is my means of logging and remembering the great moments and maybe the not so great ones that I can surely someday look back upon and laugh.
Don't get me wrong, my children are my world and they are wonderful. Of course I am completely bias, but in my mind God knew Addison was a girl who could handle having younger twin brothers. Sure we have our "terrible two (or three)" moments, but all in all she has been my biggest cheerleader since they were born and she loves and cares for her brothers passionately. She is also our comic relief and continues to baffle us with her intelligence. She's my blonde haired, blue-eyed angel. Lucas is "twin A" (born first) and Evan "twin B". They have been so different, right from the start. Though their personalities have flip flopped some in their 9 months of development - they remain quite the dynamic duo and they have only just begun! Lucas we currently call our "fat cat" as he enjoys sitting and eating and well, crawling backwards until he crashes into something as he has not yet mastered crawling in the proper direction. He has a laugh and smile that would melt anyone's heart and thunder thighs to prove his love of food. Evan is our little sneaky troublemaker. He has joyous eyes and a killer smile. Spunk that he keeps under wraps, until he is ready to cause mischief. Tall like his Daddy and full of love. I couldn't have dreamt these three up, Justin and I consider ourselves immensely blessed.
Justin....my husband? Do I have a husband? Oh yes! He is the one I pass by and unfortunately neglect most of the time until all three kids are in bed and we collapse on the couch next to each other to stare at the wall for a few minutes. I'm lucky he puts up with me! He's a wonderful husband and father and we are lucky to have him in our lives.
So that is probably enough in the way of an introduction. I will try to add posts when I can and hopefully my blogs will just contain commentary on the everyday crazy things that go on in our household or have happened in the past...stay tuned!
