has it really been ONE year?

i cannot believe our girls turned one!  seriously, where did the time go? 

one year ago i NEVER thought i would be looking back thinking, wow that went fast.  actually, one year ago i wasn't sure any of us were going to make it out alive.  two preemies with acid reflux.  two beyond tired adults trying to figure out this parenting thing.  but, lots of googling for remedies and tips, crying (from the girls and mostly me), helpful family and friends, and by the grace of God, we are here.

i will spare you the sappy mom comments and just get to the good stuff..................the party.  so when the girls were six months old, i was busy "wishing" their babyhood away (like, can you please sit up already and how about holding this bottle yourself) and planning their first birthday party.  with the help of etsy (namely, dimple prints) and late nights of googling, the party was set.........................Thing One and Thing Two's 1st Birthday!
