Baby boys are now sleeping through the night consistently. Such an amazing milestone...especially when two are involved. They go down at 10 pm and wake at 8 am. But, now on a schedule and sleeping through the night means they need more quiet than our bedroom provides and so the bittersweet transition has taken place. They have now graduated to the nursery. I've never missed a baby booted out of our bedroom before but I really miss these guys in there with us. Not sure exactly why. Paramedic husband is adamantly opposed to babies sharing the bed with us due to the many calls he has run of cobedding infants that have ended in utter, preventable tragedy. The "it'll never happen to me"actually happens to alot of unsuspecting people. Sad, sad stuff. So, we cosleep in the same room but not the same bed until they sleep through the night. Then they graduate! And at 4 1/2 months these little guys have graduated. I'm grateful for the uninterrupted sleep but missing my little sleeping buddies. Teeth, jabbering, sleeping through the night babies...they're not so tiny anymore. How much I love this stage. They are entirely, amazingly, delightful in every way. I don't think I've ever held my heart in my hands like I do when I hold one of my children. To truly know these boys now and their personalities...to make them smile and laugh....is absolutely one of the most amazing things to ever experience in life...even the 9th and 10th time around. Sweet, sweet growing boys. How truly blessed we have been....ten times over. I am so desperately in love with my sweet boys. Twins the 2nd time is just as sweet and just as amazing as the first time around.
With Grayson actively apprenticing and learning his beloved skill and trade and Evye swiftly coming up on his heels with her own desires we have been praying for direction. It would take a miracle to bring it together for her, just as it did with Grayson. And since we serve a God that loves to work miracles..but in His time and not exactly our's....Evye is now the proud owner of a horse named Champ. One of the best horse trainers in the region is a 20 year old girl. She and Evye bonded immediately. So, through no small miracle Evye is now the proud owner of a massively expensive horse that we were given for a fraction of what he is worth and she is being trained and groomed to barrel race in the rodeos by one of the best trainers around. Once we acquire a trailer we'll start attending playdays until she gets good enough for the rodeo scene. Just as we rely on the Lord to provide for us...because the salary of one of the lowest paid fire depts in the state of Texas surely doesn't provide for us...so we rely on Him to meet each of our children's interests and life pursuits. And over and again He has proven Himself faithful in every way. He has been faithful to give us these chidren and over and again He proves Himself faithful in providing for each of them in every way.
The broken swing on the right that is now fixed! Beautiful days of playing outside.
Waiting for his head to pop out. It never did. Smart turtle.
The epitome of nasty disgustingness.
Happy, sleepy boy....and lookin' a little bit like daddy.

I really love the BB's right in the middle of it all. Adds a nice touch.
Champ and Evye
She rides him from sun up to sun down...after school and chores are done..which she completes in record time now.

My new view from the backdoor. Pretty awesome.
Rowdy boys
Early morning bed buddy
This became our after workout fun. 22 total mounds that were like running on sand hills. Definitely did the legs some good. Children and I did this for half an hour 4 days in a row until they finally came and spread them out all over the road. It was definitely fun while it lasted! My favorite is the familiar little 6 year old standing proudly

My twins graduated this past weekend. They are now upstairs in their own room with a big kid bed. I totally get the bittersweet of it all!
