In January 2003, we found out our lives were about to drastically change. Tanner was going to get not just one sibling, but TWO: a brother AND a sister! Megan Alanna and Zachary Brandon were born on June 16, 2003 at 8:30 and 8:32 p.m. Megan was born first weighing in at 6 lb. 10 oz. and Zachary at 5 lb. 4 oz.
They were both healthy and adorable!!!
Megan is our wonderful, beautiful, smart little angel girl. She is a sweetie and loves to help Mommy with Gavin. Can I just say how cool this is? I have never experienced this before and I appreciate her so much. She is a fierce protector of her brothers, even when they may not deserve it all the time! She loves to do girl things and play with dolls. She is a Daddy’s girl. She is very bright and is very ready for Kindergarten. She was a wonderful baby and is a wonderful girl and we are sure grateful for to have her.
Zachary is our terrific, fun, adorable, smart little “moosie” boy. He has the biggest heart and is full of energy. He has a lot of love to give and loves to hug and love on everyone. He has a fabulous memory and is a brave kid. He loves to do things with his twin sister and makes sure she is taken care of. He is excited to go to Kindergarten. When Zachary was a toddler we had some close calls in regards to losing him. There is NEVER a day that goes by that we are not thankful for his life and that he is with us! We believe his Grandpas are his guardian angels and they have been very busy. He is a wonderful boy and we are so grateful he is ours.
Time sure flies when you are busy, and it has done that for us these last five years. It has certainly been a bittersweet experience to watch my twins grow. Lots of work, but then as I watch it get a little easier, year by year, I also miss some of those times. I often wish I would or could have savored more moments in the midst of the chaos. Believe it or not, it almost seemed easier to have three in diapers at one time and no where to have to go every day. Life is more fast paced now. There has NEVER been a dull moment but we wouldn’t trade the ride for anything.
HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY
MEGAN and ZACHARY!
WE LOVE YOU!
