Babies turn into Big Girls!

Our babies are 1!!! We knew the time would fly by, but seriously, where did the year go!? This past year has been the most rewarding year of my life. It has been the most challenging year professionally and personally. I never knew such little people could teach a person so many important life lessons. They have taught me the true meaning of unconditional love. They have taught me that a baby's giggle can cure anything. How to be patient when they are learning new things. I have stopped worrying about the little things in life, and now I only worry about them. I have learned to be a morning person. They have taught me how to fight through exhaustion and to do what needs to be done regardless of how dark the circles under my eyes get. I have learned that even at 3 am in the morning, I need to enjoy every moment because it doesn't last for long! And I can honestly say I have done exactly that. Most importantly, I have learned to not care what other people think--people are going to criticize how we raise them, discipline them, dress them, and feed them, however, no one will ever be able to criticize how much we love them! Happy 1st Birthday Molly and Ellie! We love you more than you will ever know!
