three.

Jack & Braden, I always knew I would teach you but never imagined how much you would teach me. The unconditional way in which you love dad and I - but especially each other - takes my breath away.

Jack you are such a musician. You will strum anything, you are constantly singing a tune and dance? Oh boy can you dance. You are so, so sensitive and dare I say - dramatic. Your heart is so big, you care about other people's pain as much as your own.

Braden you love to laugh and it is so contagious. You know what you want and are determined to get it. You play so rough but you hug so tight and you love so deep.

I hope you both will always embrace your individuality but remain bonded by the fact that you knew each other first. Before any of us had the chance to meet you, you knew each other.

Happy, happy birthday my little boys.

Here are some pictures from their birthday celebrations.

We had a small party on their birthday where they got birthday cupcakes

I kind of forgot how loud Hungry Hungry Hippos was

But the real party was on Sunday! When the boys woke up from their nap the party was underway.

To everyone who took the time out of your day to make the trip to our new house we are sincerely grateful. Hearing everyone sing Happy Birthday to the boys in our dining room brought tears to my eyes. My heart was so full of love, thank you.
