Raise your hand if you are ready for winter to be over! I’m ready to put winter to an end. Given that the groundhog did not see his shadow there is only 2.5 more months of winter remaining, right? Doubtful…but here is to hoping!

Farewell snow, it’s been fun!

My husband, Randy, wrote a letter to Emmy & Avery so they can someday read it.  Here is part the letter……

“Emmy & Avery, my identical twin daughters.” When I say those words it’s hard to describe how much love & pride they represent from within me. Truth is, somewhere rattling around between my heart and the pit of my stomach, there still remains a small amount of the fear I carried with me before you were born. Doctors had told us from the beginning you were both at very high risk. Until the day your mother had to leave our home to live in the hospital for 2 months before you were born, it was still hard to grasp the true reality of how much was at stake. In the back of my mind, although I tried not to focus much attention on it, I knew that if something bad happened Grandpa Rick would be there to meet you. But instead, I tried to focus on things to come….us rolling around on the floor together….you both giving me kisses all over my face….the first time you both smiled at me, at the same time….both of you pulling yourself up, one on each of my legs. These are things that I have been so blessed to experience with you both. Now that you are here, our family is complete. I love you both so much.
