Two Two Year Olds!

It doesn't seem possible that we welcomed Megan and Justin to our family two years ago today.










We celebrated the special day by enjoying pizza, presents, and cake at the park.

Both Megan and Justin love Diego and Dora. There are mornings Megan refuses to allow me to dress her because she is wearing her Dora "jammas" and she wants Dora to be on her clothes all day. So, it was Dora and Diego cakes to celebrate. I will never tell how long it took me to put these tiny little cakes together. Annie and Emma were very sweet to cheer me on as I put my limited decorating skills to use.

Opening presents:

Megan needed clothes and now has some adorable things to wear. She also needed baby dolls, and is currently loving tending to their every need.

Justin was in need of trucks and trailers. They are his greatest love--after his blanket of course.

When Meg sees this pictures she still says, "No Justin!" He loved to blow out the candles and took it upon himself to blow on the candles whether they were lit or whether they were on his cake or Megan's cake.

After the park we went to a play center called Bounce. It took Justin a minute to warm up, but once he realized all the fun to be had, he was the picture of pure joy. The rest of the kids had fun too--each of them were sweaty and tired by the time we left.

So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Megan and Justin! It is hard to find the words to describe how blessed we are to have you as a part of our family. We are so glad you decided to come to this earth together and that we get to have twice the chatter, twice the giggles, twice the squeezes, twice the joy that comes with watching you grow and develop into little people.

Meg, you are truly the big sister. Justin follows your lead and looks at you with such admiration. You have so much to say and your curiosity keeps you learning. You know you're cute, and oh boy are you cute! You love to sing and we all love to hear your songs. You are so sweet to share so many hugs and kisses, and to crawl on our laps to snuggle in. You are all girl, love to get your hair done, nails painted, shoes on, and anything that sparkles. We love to hear you pray and everyone looks forward to your turn. There is never a question what you want or where you stand, and I hope that is your gift for life.

Justin, you are so busy! When we can catch you, there is nothing better than your squishy hugs and soft skin. Your blanket is the love of your life and you want nothing more than to have it near. You love to be outside and to push anything with wheels--strollers and trucks with trailers are your favorite. You can't help but grit your teeth when you see Max and giggle when Max returns your attention. Your giggle is so contagious. You love water, the washing machine, and the oven. You yell at the television if their is the slightest hint of sports. You are one tough little boy and those big dark blue eyes combined with a insanely handsome face make it very hard to discipline you even when you have flooded the kitchen or nearly singed your eyelashes.

We can't wait to see what this year brings!
