there's no place like home

we are so happy to be home, here in colorado, finally. i truly feel like our life was somewhat on hold for two years, even though it was most certainly and eventful two years! las vegas is not something i can completely forget as the boys were born there and it is a happier place because of those memories! brittany made two friends she will never forget, and thank goodness for those two sweet girls being our neighbors....it was truly a blessing while the boys were tiny.

we are just excited to get on with life, we have been looking foward to getting home for so long. however, mark has found out that he will be deployed to Iraq for 10 months in October, so that was defintiely unexpected news. we are going to try to enjoy our time, together as a family as much as possible before he goes.

ten tiney fingers, ten tiny toes and one fat cat

baby hands and feet. i can't get enough of them. where does the time go? my babies are growing up so fast, what happened to my five pound peanuts? i still find it hard to believe we have twins. we have twins....never in my life would i ever have guessed we would be so blessed to have two precious twin boys. they keep us on our toes but they are truly a blessing. i just wish i could remember every day of my children's life would be remembered and as clear as if it were yesterday. if only they could stay little forever!

popsicles

our backyard is not as big as i envisioned it being. building a house long distance is not something i would recommend to anyone nor would i do it again! we haven't even been here 2 months and there are more things i would change than i can count. isn't that always how it is? i still love our new home. the boys are enjoying their new big boy beds and daddy has been enjoying babyproofing every possible thing in our house. it doesn't seem like there are enough childproofing items out there for these two! i actually am shocked i have a picture of both of them, sitting and looking at the camera. you will notice there are not many since they have started crawling!

from sea to shining sea

happy fourth of july!
