Daddy's little girl

After bath we went down to the living room to play for a little bit before bed time. Both the kids were on the couch with Matt. One of our rules is: NO standing on the couch. The kids know this rule, unfortunately they just don't follow it very well. Avery especially is really bad at following the rules and due to this he is always getting into trouble. Isabelle on the other hand is really good at doing wrong but in a way that she doesn't get into trouble as much. Last night was no different in this. Isabelle acted like she was going to stand up when Matt told her to sit on her bottom, she then smiled at him sat down and crawled over to him and kissed him. Now of course she should have gotten a warning to not stand on the couch but instead Daddy melted and she didn't get that warning. She is not even two years old and already knows how to get on her Daddy's good side. We are in sooo much trouble! LOL!

Milestones

Sunday (march 20th) marked the twins being with us longer than they have been with anyone else. And today is our 1 year referralversary. I can't believe it has been a year since we received the call and email that changed our lives forever. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I will never forget the feeling of seeing the email titled referral or of seeing Avery and Isabelle's faces for the first time. It was a whirlwind of emotions. I remember being at work pacing the floor waiting for Matt to get here so we could open the email together and getting mad because he didn't get here as soon as I wanted him to. I also remembering seeing that I had missed a call from our agency and after hearing the message just saying "please call me back" thinking that they were missing some paperwork, since we had only been waiting 2 months to the day. Not in a million years would I have thought we had gotten our referral. Seeing the email title I just broke down crying and in total disbelief of what I was seeing.

Parenthood is a lot harder than I ever could have imagined but so worth it. Getting to be mommy to Avery and Isabelle is the reason I was put in this world and I wouldn't change a thing.
