So another month has past. They fly by faster and faster and my babies are no longer babies. I have a couple of little kids.....and it makes me miss the yummy snuggles and cuddles of the little guys. I have been looking at baby pictures of you guys a lot this month. It makes me realize that the one thing that is almost impossible when you have twins (or multiples in general) is the luxury of being able to stop and really enjoy the moment. This is a lesson I am still trying to learn. Admittedly this is something I should have learned long before you guys came along but I have always been the one looking in to the future at what will be, not what is.


We also had a play date with a new friend Oliver who is only a year old. I wasn't sure how the 'sharing' would go and was worried about any possible aggressive behaviour but I think you two really understood that he was smaller and younger and were gentle and sweet. Daddy and I talk about having another baby often but have always wondered what the reaction would be. I know that this one visit isn't what it would be like but it was so nice to see such sweetness and interest in someone smaller.
We had an amazing fun birthday party too. Nathan turned 4 and Susan and Alex rented out a party play room. I always thought that my kids would be the ones clinging to my legs on the first day of school but we walked into the place and you both went running not once looking back. Daddy and I got to relax and talk to some of the other parents which was really nice. It was one of the moments that you dream of when you have kids.....all the kids, yours and all your friends kids, all playing together while you sit, coffee in hand, chatting..........maybe that was just my dream..... You guys had a great time and when we got home you both ran for the stairs begging for naps.



A couple of funny games started this month. Now that spring has sprung and we are getting bright wonderful sunshine blasting in the living room windows in the late afternoon we have discovered our shadows. We sit on the couch making shadow puppets, mostly ducks, on the walls that chase us around quacking and kissing. Beezee you think this is hilarious and run up to the wall trying to catch the ducks while we make them duck (pun intended) in and out of the shadows of other furniture jumping up and giving kisses.
The silliest girl in town

Gabe you have done a couple of funny things this month. One day we were snuggling on the couch looking out the window (I think Bea was still napping) talking about trucks or cars I would bet and you placed you hand on my chest to readjust and felt the front clasp of my bra. "Mommy, why cracker in dere?" On another day I went upstairs to bring you two down after a nap but we ended up playing around upstairs for a few minutes. Bea and I were still in Mommy and Daddy's room but Gabe had gone into your room for a minute. Then you ran back, wide eyed, "Ghost Mommy Ghosts" I know for a fact that neither of you have any idea what a ghost is. This ranks up there with another weird thing you do Gabe that scares me a little. You will often point to the sky and ask "Go home?" and when I say that you are home you say it slight forlorn while pointing "Go home.."

I am the luckiest mommy in town
