A week away from turning 1...YIKES!!!

My oh my...where has the past year gone to? As I write this post I realize that I didn't keep up with the blog after returning from our cruise. A lot changed in our household once the Twinkies were born. We went from having two dogs to having 2 kids plus 2 spoiled dogs running our lives. I was able to stay home with them for 13 weeks...not counting the 6 weeks that I was working from home prior to their arrival...love my job!!! My husband stayed with them while he was on Christmas break and then my MIL came to stay with us for 5 months (way too long but worth the savings). My husband then stayed with them the entire summer which not a lot of men would do let alone be home with 2 mobile twins. I was able to breastfeed both of them until they were 7 months old and I also supplemented with formula. They decided that they didn't want the boob anymore so I made peace with their decision...it was huge for me to do it for so long so I was proud. The Twinkies are the light of our eyes and we can no longer picture our lives without them. Cayden just had surgery to correct his craniosynostosis (sagital line fused prematurely in the womb) and shows no signs of having major surgery. Claudia is full of life and lights up the room wherever she's at. I promise to keep up with the blog now that things have sort of settled down...Here's a sneak peek of what they look like prior to turning 1 year old. More pics to follow as we prepare for their 1st birthday party...
