Ok, ok I know. The boys turned one a month and a half ago. Bear with me will you, working full time and caring for three little ones takes up my time and blogging is NOT a top priority. However, it is a must. I want my children to look back when they are grown and see that I loved them so, and have a list of what my memories of our time together. So my post, albeit late, are filled with the best intentions.
The boys first year passed in a whirl wind, facing us with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Their birth-high, NICU time-low, home and healthy-high, my galbladder surgery/hospital stay-low, etc. On top of the basic new time with a baby ours were doubled and exhausting. Our days became so routine and the boys thrived. When sleep came Bill and I rejoiced. Ella adjusted and just when we thought all was settled Bill got laid off from his job. Shortly after we found out that my father was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic lukemia. The kids, however, are happy healthy and adjusted. What more can parents of three little ones, and multiples ask for!!!
Aiden is my tiny little peanut, with a firey spirit. He is tiny, but stands up to anyone (including big sis) who may be in his way. He has some gross motor delays, but is getting there. Aiden has a smile that could break your heart. He loves to cuddle and play with my hair. He is my shining light on a bad day because he always greats me with a smile.
Liam is my "chunky monkey." With that being said compared to most his age he is still teeny as well. Liam is stoic and strong. He is determined and focused. However as soon as I get home from work he is running to give me a kiss and hug. His favorite place to be, is on my lap, and I relish in having him there. For I know one day he won't want to sit on his mommies lap anymore!
Life with twins terrified me, but to be honest they belong together. I can't imagine them not as a pair. They fight like boys do, but love to be together. If one is away the other will look for his brother. This makes my heart swell.
Ella has adjusted and loves her brothers so. She is caring and doting, with a small dash of bigger sister says so thrown in.
