2 YEARS LATER...

Well, the Twins are officially 2 years old.  We had their bug themed birthday bash on 9-22-12 and on 9-30-12 at 1:00 & 1:01pm Jett & Delilah got to celebrate their 24 months in this world.

Like last year, I filled their bedroom floor with a bunch of colorful balloons.  When their Daddy arrived home from work that morning they were in total awe of all of them & had a wonderful time playing, jumping & trying to pop them.
 
 I made their favorite breakfast... pancakes.  And topped them with 2 sparkler candles so we could serenade them with The Happy Birthday song.  They haven't quite figured out how to blow them out but I got the feeling they knew this was a very special day.
 
 


We had plans on taking them to Inflatable World to let them go crazy playing.  But, it didn't turn out so well.  We ended up getting a later start than we had liked so by the time we made it to the mall where the bouncy houses were, both kids were already tired & grouchy.  So, we let them play on a couple of toys in the play area & headed home for lunch.  We hadn't made it out of the parking lot before both of them were crashed out, fast asleep.
 
 
 A couple of days after their big day we met with photographer (& SA Firefighter) Danny Rodriguez to have Family photos taken.  Well, in HOPES to have them taken:)  We arrived at the base of the Tower of America's & the very first thing Jett noticed was the fountain.  That was the beginning of the end!  Within 2 minutes he had put one entire foot in the water & had the other shoe floating in it.  The rest of the photo session is a total blur of sweat, screams & tears coming from all of us, including Danny.  Just as we were about to give up I decided:  "What the heck!!  If we can't beat them (figuratively & literally) let's join them.  So, off came our shoes & Rich & I sat down aside the water to splash along with our babies.  Those were precious moments.  Amazingly enough Danny worked some true magic & managed to produce numerous photos that give the illusion that all went off without a hitch.
















Although Jett & Delilah have only been on this Earth for 2 years, it seems they have been in our hearts forever.  Everyday brings something new that they are doing, learning or saying.  While I wish the hands of time would slow down a little so as not to miss a thing... I am excited to watch them grow up & become the amazing kids that I know they are. They truly are blessings from God & our whole world.
We love you very much, Jett & Delilah!!
