A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

We are expectingTWINS


We are beyond excited! In a day or two I'll post our journey towards babies #4 and #5, But I will leave you with this thought:

Heavenly Father is amazing!

I've always imagined tucking in 4 children at night, and Alex and I were so ready to add 1 last little baby to our family. So we went back to our fertility clinic for 1 last IVF cycle (But, we were worried at transfer when we learned that 1 of our little embreyos was given a 66% chance and 1 was a 22% chance(yes that was 22%!!)

But Dr's odds are never Heavenly Father's odds!

Now, I imagine tucking in 5 children, 5 pairs of shoes lined up, 5 children around my dinner table. I am so very grateful! I feel like I am living an amazing dream! Ever since I was a little girl I have dreamed about twins. I guess God knew I needed to be older and more patient to be the best mom I could be to twins, have 3 children under the age of 2 and to be a MOM TO 5!

Life is going to be crazy, but I am so looking forward to all the choas and excitment that having 5 children will bring!

I am so excited for 2012 and to hold these precious miracle babies in my arms in February!

PS: We are not posting on facebook yet.
