How right they were/are!
They had us all wrapped around their fingers from the day they arrived and not a single one of us has been able to let go since ![]()

It’s amazing to think that 5 years ago today I was desperately trying to hang on to my sanity as my pregnancy (and 6 months of bed rest) was coming so close to an end. I was counting down the days to delivery and the excitement/anticipation was beyond overwhelming as my dearest friends had all begun to give birth to their twins and myself and a few other unfortunate (or fortunate, depending how you looked at it) friends were the sole hanger-on-ers in our online multiples group.
The minutes felt like hours and the hours felt like days as that final week of my pregnancy drug on with extremely sleepless nights, a bladder that never seemed empty, a belly that couldn’t hold food down, constant contractions and heartburn from hell…
but it was worth it,
SO worth it,
when they finally did arrive and just days later came home with me,
just four pounds each, but heavy on the blessings and abundant on the love.
It’s been one blessed journey, from day one, and this upcoming week, we begin to countdown to a monumental birthday for my babies…
who go from being toddlers to officially becoming 5 year old kids!

They are so cute – and they grow up soooooo fast!! No fair!!
I know, right!
I’m seriously tearing up here reading this! How can our babies be turning 5 already!?!?!
PS…I think I had that same red sleeper for our kiddos – was it a Christmas one?
Yep. It was a preemie Children’s Place sleeper. LOVED them (of course, we used it for 3 months before Christmas because they were so little and I had limited clothing choices)
Oh my goodness…they are just precious. I love how you put the captions in the pictures. Happy Birthday to your “big kids” now
Thank you!
Makes me want to cry when I think about how fast it flew by!
So cute! And I could just picture a little conversation going on !
I remember snapping those shots way back when and when I looked at them on my computer screen it cracked me up because it totally looked like a little baby conversation frame by frame
Precious, precious, precious!!!! These are just teh sweetest photos! (time DOES fly, doesn’t it!?)
Indeed it does
I sit here reading this with a sleeping baby in my arms…they grow up so very fast
They do. It literally feels like I blinked and they were toddlers.
Those baby photos with captions are adorable and humorous. Happy birthday to your kids. Hope they have a great one!
Thank you!
I’m hoping they will as well
Oh, happy birthday to your twins!
Time does fly and it does seem to fly even faster when we have kids.
“… heavy on the blessings and abundant on the love.: –I love this!
Thank you!
It does fly SO much faster the day you become a mom…
(remember when you were a kid in school waiting for summer and it felt like it took forever to come???)
Oh my gosh your captions are so perfect for those pictures!! Love this! So cute and fun.
Twins are such a blessing. Double the love. I adore all the photos with their siblings too.
Thank you!
I remember seeing these pics for the first time after I loaded them on my computer years ago, thinking, ” They need captions. ”
Ugh, it goes so fast. Having 7 others you know that! I hope their birthday goes wonderfully!
Thank you.
You & me both.
They are absolutely adorable. You made a great photo story.
Thank you so very much.
What a beautiful family you have! I loved your intro with the photos and “captions.” Very fun!
Thanks! I feel very blessed to have them all in my life.
Stop! You are making me so emotional! Between you and Terri this morning. 5 year olds! Kids!!!! I can’t take it. How the heck does it happen so quick?!?!?
I wish like hell I knew Debbie and that I could slow it down a little.
It’s KILLING me that they are turning 5.
They are such cuties. Happy Birthday to them. And you are right, time does fly.
yep. Faster than I ever imagined it would
Adorable birthday kids!! Cannot believe they are 5 already!
As I look back on my blog and others its sooo hard to grasp how time has “grown up” our families.
I know! Crazy, isn’t it?
I have been visiting so many blogs and watching the babies I have come to know turn into toddlers and then kids and I think,” Wow. Has this much time really gone by???”
AWWW!!! look at their fuzzy little heads!! So cute!
Here’s hoping you have 3 beautiful & healthy fuzzy heads in 20 weeks or so
(I’m so excited for you!)
My Alex turns 5 next month and I just can’t believe it!! I love how they had the connection right from birth. Happy Almost Birthday, Twinkies!!
I think that was my favorite part of having twins… they really were connected from the second they were conceived <3
Oh my goodness! They are so adorable! Then & now
Kids grow so fast these days. Happy Birthday to your twins! Thanks for stopping by. I love your blog and your children are beautiful!
What an incredibly cute series of pictures! My word yes, 5 is big!
Oh my goodness, such sweet memories in this post. Wasn’t this just last year ?!?!?!
I know! Doesn’t it feel like it? Oh how I miss my teeny tiny babies <3
Love your commentary on the pics. They were beautiful babies and now they’re beautiful kids.
