CARSON AND DEAN TURN ONE

.....literally an hour from now to the minute. I sit here at 9:42pm, our Carson Belle arrived at 10:42pm and Dean at 10:43pm. Exactly one hour away from being EXACTLY ONE YEAR AGO. Mind blowing. All you parents out there, I am sure you'd agree that time flies. For all my friends who are new mothers or those expecting, cherish and enjoy every single thing big or small. Time flies by faster with your own children than any other period of my life up to this point. I hold up their preemie / NB or 3 month clothing and can't believe they were ever that small. I can't remember how we got to this point. Carson and Dean arrived 10 weeks early and spent 6 weeks in the NICU. These next 6 weeks I will try to remind myself of that time, everyday. When I am tired (daily), chasing them (again, daily), putting all the tupperware back into the kitchen cabinets after they've spread it out across our entire downstairs (you guessed it, daily), and when they are making me laugh out loud I will sit back and think how Eric & I can't imagine our lives without the two of them. Happy 1st Birthday Carson and Dean. (As for us, Mommy & Daddy, we can go ahead and pat ourselves on the back. So far, so good . . . .)
