8/19/10

They've been counting down the days to their 5th birthday shortly after their 4th birthday festivities wrapped up!  And here we are again...another year.  I'm still in slight disbelief that it has been 5 years since these little critters made their silent entry into the world.  As I've said before, this day is always one filled with mixed emotions for me as that Friday morning in 2005 is still freshly seared into my brain.  Obviously it is not something I dwell on often, but as they move forward another year, I take a step back and reflect and the shear magnitude of the day and the 4 months and 3 days we endured after their birth.  Haley often talks about seeing Jesus and with my whole heart, I believe they both saw him on their birth day and in the months to follow.  He showered them with his protection and love then and my prayers are that he will continue do so the remainder of their days!
