Written while we were still living in Illinois. A few Saturdays ago I surprised the girls (my 2 year old daughter and my 10 year old SIL, with whom we currently live) with a fun breakfast of animal toast. It was something very simple and it did not take very much...
The last few months have been a roller coaster and sometimes it feels like a dream. After six months of hoping and praying to get pregnant, we found out in January that we were. We were over the moon; even more so when we discovered that we were expecting twins! But...
