Now this picture is the B I've heard about. He's such a smiley, happy little guy. I just love the twinkle that is always in his eye. I can not wait to hear him laugh!

Sweet V-R

And I'm not just talking about her hands! I love this picture of her. Her little features, the way her eyes look. There is just something about this picture that just melts my heart!

Who'd have guessed?

Somebody loved the cake! Somebody was NOT as excited about cake.

B is 1!!

I could be wrong, but I think this expression is pretty uncharacteristic for B! He looks less than thrilled to have been given his own cake!

V-R is 1!!

Look how big and adorable these kiddos are!
They just finished up dinner and are getting ready for cake!!

Where has the time gone?

(sorry, I have no idea where the pic went)

I can scarcely believe how fast this year has gone. It's unbelievable to me that 1 year ago I was in the hospital being monitored and hoping to return home for a few more days. Things did not work out as we had hoped and planned, but we were able to hold off delivery for 12 more hours so mom and dad could be there for the delivery.

The family adapted so well to 2 more wee ones to love. I'm sure this year has been challenging, but full of so many wonderful moments. It's amazing that each child has such a distinct and different personality! Miss V-R has always known what she wants and is so curious about everything. Mr. B is such a laid back, happy little guy. He's even starting to stand on his own, and I'm sure he has the biggest grin while he does it.

I get to go visit at the end of March and I can hardly wait to see them all and soak up their little personalities.

I'm sure that tomorrow will be much like every other Monday, but it's a very special day and they will not be far from my thoughts.

Happy 1st Birthday Miss V-R and Mr. B!!

Baby girl's got her first tooth!

V-R has her first tooth! Isn't it adorable?



And I hear that her brother has his first 2 teeth coming in at the same time!
