2nd Birthday!

We had a great time on the girls' second birthday. We had a party with over 60 people, including six sets of twins and a dozen other children. Since we were having a record-breaking heat wave we decided to make it a swim party at the last minute. The highlights were sliding into the pool and singing along with Steve from the Hullabaloo band.

Little Big Girls

As the girls' 2nd birthday approaches, I'm reminded how at times they seem like such big girls and other times they still seem like my babies. Here are two examples that highlight the difference:

Big girls - Lily calls me "Mom" now. Not Mommy, only Mom. Shouldn't I be called mommy for at least a few more years? Hopefully it's just a phase.

Babies - Grace has been under the weather this week. Today several times she said to me, "Mommy, hold me in the white chair." We'd sit in the big white chair in the living room, and she just rest on me with her arms wrapped around my neck. After a period ranging from 20 seconds - 5 minutes, she'd say, "I'm all better now," and go play.

And I promise more pictures are coming soon...
