I miss my boys.
A strange feeling to miss someone you haven't met yet. Even weirder that they are my sons.
Celebrating their 1st birthday without them underscored all these feelings, and in a way also connected my to them a little more. It was so wonderful to have Nana and Grandad and Auntie S, Uncle M, the the 3 cousins here to celebrate this milestone for them and for our family.
It's cute - D keeps saying to the littlest baby as she shows him the twins' picture "Look at your baby brothers!" and I have to remind here that the twins are his BIG brothers, even though they came to us after the baby. A tricky concept for a 3 year old I guess!
I heard from one of the volunteers that our boys are "hilarious!" I love that. I think they will fit in to this quirky family of ours just fine. One of them is crawling across the floor "like a penguin or frog" I have been just trying hard to imagine that! I am told that they play together and it is not uncommon to see them holding hands. That, I can picture, and it melts my heart.
For their party last night, we had a Monster Truck cake (chosen by the girls), a candle wished on (intently) and blown out by mommy, then re-wished on and re-blown out and repeat by the family; presents, pictures and visiting. A good time had by all - maybe you'll be home by next year kiddos? I'll keep wishing and I'll definitely keep praying.
These 1st birthday presents will await your arrival. Thank you Auntie, Uncle and cousins!
