Spring & Sunshine

There's really nothing like sitting on your front deck, soaking up some rare Oregon Coast sunshine and eating a sweet fresh orange.  All this while listening to birds chirp, a lawn mower in the distance and the amazing smell of fresh cut grass!  That's when I feel it, another kick in the ribs from one of my twins that are just weeks away from gracing us with their presence! 

I had previously written about the fact that it hadn't quite hit me that after 12 years, we were finally going to be parents.  I can tell you now, it has definitely started to sink in!  Between the obvious lack of space we have in our house, my ever expanding belly and the nearly constant kicking, somersaults and jabs, the thought has now not only hit me, it's become terrifying and exciting all at once!  I've had my moments of, "What if I fail at this?", all of which of course end up with me tears.  Then I realize that as long as I show my children support and unconditional love, I really can't "fail". 

When I look at my husband, I can see the fear and excitement in his face as well.  The look he gets on his face every morning when he says good morning to my belly is absolutely priceless!  I knew from the moment I met him that I was going to spend the rest of my life with him.  Now as we are just weeks away from bringing Peyton and Lukas home, there is not a shadow of  a doubt in my mind that he is going to be the most amazing father and together we will raise honest, respectful and loving children.

With tomorrow being Easter, I smile knowing that next year I'll be dressing up two of the most adorable children and taking pictures of them with their first Easter baskets and of course the Easter Bunny! 

Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter! May it be full of love, friendship and family!
