Here I am, looking at a whole year gone by. I figured the best way to commemmorate this would be to show some pictures and my Facebooks statuses (stati?) from the past year, so here you go, here is a glimpse at the boys' life their first year :)
Aug
12/11 So I haven't been coy the last few days, just busy and tired! As we begin
day 3, everyone is doing wonderfully. The babes love to be cuddled and we love
to cuddle them :) Eating great, breathing beautifully, both blessed with
headfuls of dark curly hair like their dad :) Handsomest boys ever if I do say
so myself. Pics are forthcoming! Thanks for all the love and well-wishes, we
are truly blessed. - Aug 22/11 All are home and perfect - thanks everyone!! - Sep
11/11 You know what's awesome? When you're holding your baby, and look down and
they're just silently gazing up at you. The moments following are the most
precious in the world :) – Jan 9/12 Happy 5 month birthday to my boys! I've
loved every single minute of being your mom, I'm so blessed to have you.Jun
16/12 Well, officially said goodbye to work, kind of a weird feeling. Now when
people ask what I do, I'm no longer on mat leave, I am MOM. - Jun 19/12 As
mobility increases, there follows a rise in criminal activity. The two seperate
units have begun working together to cause confusion and exhaustion and the
former ideal of peacekeeping is being reevaluated. We find stronger measures
must be taken and martial law may have to be instituted. The need for
tranquilizer guns and restraints is also becoming a viable option. - Jul 2/12 Had a wonderfully hot Canada Day celebration
with my Grandparents and brother and his family down in Raymond. Boys in bed,
getting my heat-stroke on and getting ready for bed. Jul 5/12 Well, Lincoln has
taken to throwing food - now we're in for a battle! - Jul 6/12 Had such fun at
Riley Park today! Lincoln was motorin' in the pool on his hands and knees :)
Can't wait to make this a regular activity. Thanks to mom for helping out and
to Jamie and Jassie for joining up! - Jul 11/12 So I'm nursing the boys and Lincoln is
absently kicking his foot. Austin gets up and swats his butt and comes back to
continue nursing when Lincoln stops. This is crazy!! - Jul 11/12 Made pulled
pork the other day, and it wasn't the best I ever had. But the boys are loving
it!!- Jul 13/12Gettin' ready to head out for the boys' first Stampede. Yahoo!!!
Let the indoctrination begin!!!! - Jul 13/12 Had a great time with the boys -
they did so well!! My only regret is not capturing enough photos. They're now
tucked into bed nice and tight and I'm headed back to the Grandstand Show.
Yeehaw!! - Jul 16/12 Obviously I made the mistake of always vacuuming while the
boys were sleeping. They're terrified of the machine like two monkeys in a tree
watching out for the tiger! It's priceless. - Jul 16/12 Tried out grilled
cheese on the boys and it's a hit! What veggies can I hide in there? Tomatos,
spinach....anyone? -Jul 23/12 I found a can of bean in tomato sauce down in my
storage, so I thought I'd try it on the boys. Well, they like the sauce, but
not so much the beans. They suck on em and spit em out. What can you do! - Jul
25/12 So I don't know when it happened, but it dawned on me that boys are
sitting up all by themselves. Hurray! One less thing they need me for. That
should make me proud - so why is my smile upside down? - Jul 25/12 My favorite part of the day: watching the boys
run-crawl to see Daddy when he gets home :) - Jul 27/12 Austin took a stuffed
bear and clapped it's hands! How awesome is that???- Jul 30/12 Why do I bother
cleaning, you ask? Because then for at least 10 minutes a day, I can look
around proudly and sigh with relief. Then it starts all over again – Aug 2/12 So
the boys are playing in the toy box when I hear Lincoln start to freak out.
Guess he was reaching for the bottom, cuz all I see are legs kicking in the
air!
Aug 9/12 A
year ago I was all belly and didn't really know what to expect. By the end of
the day I had two beautiful boys who make me laugh and smile every day. I never
knew the love and joy they bring would be so fulfilling. I love you, Austin and
Lincoln, I can't imagine my life any other way. You make me so proud every day.
Happy Birthday!
Birthday images to come :)
