Tanner lost his first tooth!!!



It has been loose for days and it finally happened tonight! Daddy pulled it out. It just seems like he just got those baby teeth! My, how time flies. We have one child getting teeth and one child losing teeth! His permanent tooth is already coming in and should push forward into the nice little space that is now there. I was a little tearful when he said he first had a loose tooth. Once they lose those baby teeth they just don't look like babies anymore. Sigh, ho hum. Life goes on...


Look Ma...no tooth!!! Tooth fairy, here I come!

Tooth update: On Saturday March 22, Tanner lost his other loose bottom tooth, pulled out again by Dad. The permanent tooth is already coming in on that one too and is pushing forward nicely. :) :) :)

I registered the twins for Kindergarten!




The day has come for us to think about the twins going to Kindergarten. Wow! I can hardly believe they will be 5 in June. Crazy time...it just keeps going faster and faster as we get older and older.




They used to look like this! Megan at the right and Zach at the bottom. I have to admit, there have been wonderful yet difficult aspects of having twins, but I am just starting to appreciate the fact that they came TOGETHER. This is something that had been hard for me to see when I was pregnant, and then being overwhelmed with the pressures of having twins and taking care of little children. I now see them become closer to one another as the months go on. I see them appreciate and protect one another and I now TRULY believe they came together because they were supposed to.
It was all part of the plan long before they were born. It doesn't mean we don't see our share of fights on a daily basis in our home, but there are also some great moments too. I am glad to be part of this experience. It is pretty cool, and has provided me with a different outlook on life. After the storms sometimes we can step back and enjoy the rainbows, and that is what I am choosing to do.



Twins
There's two to wash, there's two to dry,
There's two who argue, there's two who cry.
One's in the mud having a ball,
The other holds a crayon, another marked wall.
Some days seem endless, my patience grows thin.
Why was I chosen to be a mother of twins?

The answer comes clear at the end of the day,
As I tuck them in bed and to myself I say,
There's two to kiss, there's two to hug,
And best of all, there's two to love.
