We spent some time at a gathering of good friends today in celebration of one very sweet little girl turning one this week. On our way home from the gathering, we took the scenic route and drove by the hospital where the twins were born. Unexpectedly, my tummy did little flips and swirls as we passed. The memories of that week spent birthing and, subsequently, caring for our newborns flashed before my eyes and suddenly I was taken back to
August of 2009. Every parent tells of how quickly time passes when raising children and it is so true. I can't believe that we are parents to toddlers who are turning TWO this year. How did that happen? I mean, just yesterday we were taking them home from the hospital in their little bucket seats.

Although time is passing at a staggering rate, the anticipation of what is yet to come far outweighs any nostalgia I have. If the past 18 months are any indication, we have a lifetime of incredible memories to make and look forward to.
