The Sweetest Sounds

Everyday, after I put Kier and Adysen down for their afternoon nap I linger outside their room to listen. They always "talk" to each other. I wonder what they are saying since neither one of them is really talking yet. But its obvious they understand each other because they laugh and giggle and respond to one another. I always hear how twins are extra close...I have to wonder if the same is true of Irish twins. Although all my girlies are close, theirs seems to be the closest bond.

5? Already????

Our Big girl turned 5 today.

Cailin Lorelei you are more loved today than the day you were born....and who coulda ever imagined that was possible.

Happy 5th Birthday Princess Cailin.

'Til that day you came along
My heart was empty
Like the soul was missing from a song
And I thought I'd loved a few YEAH
No one ever made me feel
The way that you do Unwritten Law- Cailin

The End of an Era...

When I woke up today the HUGE collection of baby stuff((play pens, bumbo seats, clothes, bouncy chairs)) was gone. And although I had helped pack it all up last night, it still seemed odd. Felt off.

I have spent the better part of the last 5 years bringing babies into this world. And I am unbelievably blessed to have 4 perfect, healthy, beautiful little girls. And even though I turned in my child bearing card awhile ago. It hit me, square in the face. This is it. No more babies. I have to say it made me a little sad. I LOVED being pregnant. and now that part of my life is over.

But the sadness passed, probably from the euphoria of reducing a MAJOR amount of clutter. i hate clutter.But also because There is something comforting about knowing that my family is complete. That the scenery may change, my girls are gonna grow, Daddy and I will age, but it will be the six of us against the world. and that makes me happy.

It always comes full circle....

So i have been thinking, and over thinking, and obsessing as I always do.

and i dont know why i do this... Plans are for people in control of their own lives. I believe that our path is set, we just have to learn to walk along it.

Current example... 6 plus years ago, a man offered Daddykins a job in...you guessed it Houston. and i said NO WAY, i would NEVER live anywhere but Orange County! I had a job i liked, a life i loved. and here we are 6 years, 4 kids, and a ton of moves later doing what? Moving to Houston. Guess I always had to take the long way...
