Let's start with my marriage.
I love my husband so much. I have heard so many people saying having multiples has really hurt their marriage. Well I can honestly say our marriage is only stronger and growing everyday. We are more of a team than we have ever been. I have learned a new respect and appreciation for my husband. He has never backed down from 100% helping with our 3 kids. He is mister hands on and he is great! I love how much he loves and cares for all our girls. It is truly a blessing to watch. He is going to be staying home with our girls this school year and watching 2 other little girls. He has so much patience and is so great with kids. It's amazing to watch. I am proud to call him my husband and can't wait to spend everyday with him.
Our children.
Alexis is about to start 2nd grade and is thrilled! She is going to miss her 1st grade teacher more than words can express but she's excited to cross the highway to Northside and be with her friends again and start a new school year. She is going to be in Quest this year and that's really exciting for her! She is such a sweet girl and loves her sisters more than one can imagine. She loves to make them laugh and take the best care of them she knows how. She is always willing to help us do whatever we need for the babies. We are blessed to have such an awesome 7 year old daughter. We are proud of her every single day.
Ava and Olivia are 10 months this coming week. (CRAZY- I KNOW) They are such happy happy little girls. They really are. They love to play together. They are growing and changing in so many ways. They are both still taking 5 bottles a day and doing some fruit and veggies solids morning and night. They love their Mum Mum rice rusks and have recently been eating some real strawberries, bananas, and oranges in their mesh feeders. Not ready for table food yet but we are making progress. Ava weighs 15 lbs and Livi 14 lbs. Yes, they are small for their age but from where they started they are doing just beautifully! They are both crawling soo fast and babble all day. They pull up and stand on everything. They are showing signs that they definitely will be walking in the coming months. I recently had a nursery worker on a Sunday morning tell me that she had them on 2 different ends of the room and that they each started fussing and as soon as they were put back with each other to play they were happy. They truly love each other and it is so neat to watch their interactions.
I honestly get overwhelmed so many times with happiness. I can't believe how blessed I am to have a husband who loves me like he does and 3 amazing children. This is not to say we don't have struggles. Let's be honest, twins who were born 6 weeks early, spending weeks in the NICU, on special premature formula until 12 months and a 7 year old is definitely costly and we have lots of bills but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
