Christmas

This time last year I was VERY pregnant with my two beautiful twins!


They are now 11 months old, standing on their own, not yet walking though!


                                              Esther Joy is 1 minute younger then....
                                              Zane Arthur!
 

I adore them to pieces, they are my JOY! I have so been blessed with a year, although VERY busy & full on, that has been enjoyable....I so prayed I would ENJOY my last child, not be so tough on myself...well, I enjoyed my last 2 babies!!! I still am. They make me laugh & giggle all the time. They are able to heal a heavy heart, they make me thankful. I am very thankful for two HEALTHY babies.

Eric, who is now 4.5 years old is starting school in 2012! Oh, I can hardly believe it! He is gorgeous, loves the twins (sometimes a little to rough) but to Esther he can do anything, & Zane just laughs at him!

Solomon is such a brilliant help, the BIG brother to the rescue. HE is caring, gentle and compassionate. Sometimes gets very sick of being asked to help, but normally engrossed by his siblings!

My children are precious, I have been so BLESSED!

This Christmas we are a family of 6! We have survived & made it through our first year with 2 babies being the same age!! WOWZA!!

Paul has surprised even himself with many nappy changes, night feeds (he couldn't use the 'I have no boobs' excuse), at two weeks they were put on bottles!

He has burped, dressed, bathed, & fed, as well as finished his apprenticeship in Electrician. What a year!

Did we ever think we would have 4 children? No, but we are so in love with each of them! And thank the Lord each day for bringing them into our world.

                                  Zane, Esther & me at Paul's 40th Birthday

                                 Solomon, Eric & Paul

                                  Solomon, Eric, Esther & Paul.

                                  The Family! Solomon, Eric, Esther, Amanda, Zane & Paul.

xoxo

And what a lovely family you you, just look at those cuties! Little Esme was meant to be a twin but we lost her twin early on so we would have had 4 kiddies rather than 3. Not sure how I would have coped with twins and two older ones but it looks like you have coped very well indeed. Take care x
