Seriously, where does the time go? How have my babies turned 4 years old? My sister-in-law just had a baby earlier this week and went home from the hospital on the Friday of labor day weekend, which made me very reminiscent of L&C's birth because I had them on a Tuesday and left the hospital on the Fri. of labor day weekend - I really can remember it all like it was yesterday. Those two precious little lives had just come into the world, and all they wanted to do was snuggle up right next to each other and sleep. Fast forward 4 years and take away the snuggling and sleeping, but all they want to do is be side by side whatever it is they're doing - running around outside, playing card/board games, reading books, dressing up, playing with action figures, playing "beef" (I have no idea what this game is but it involves a lot of chasing), and LOTS of laughing. With the amount of time they spend together (which is pretty much 24/7), I am amazed at how well they get along - they have their moments here and there, but their bond is unlike anything I've witnessed. It truly is something special, and I feel so blessed that God has let me be a part of it - I guess He figured it was a little trade-off for the craziness of having twins :) I pray so fervently that their bond will continue to strengthen, that they will always enjoy one another's company, that they will have each others' backs, and that they will want good for each other. Every day I am so thankful that they have each other, and while I often feel like an outsider, I am overjoyed to watch what they have continue to grow and grow. Luke and Carter, know that your Mommy loves you like crazy and wants nothing more in life than for you to love Jesus and love like Jesus. You two are mighty special!!!!!!

I tried to let them have a "sleepover" with Graham but it only lasted about an hour. I should have known from Carter's face in the picture that it wasn't going to work out :)
