4 Years Ago . . .

I can hardly believe that 4 years ago, on April 17, 2007, that we had our sweet little babies, Brock and Mia. I won't lie—that day and the 2 weeks proceeding (and not to mention the many weeks/months after) were definitely the hardest and saddest day(s) I've ever experienced.

Each year that passes does make it easier—the pain seems to lessen some—but we still miss and think about Brock and Mia every day. What makes things a little crazy this year is that we are pregnant with twins again, boy and girl—again. That part isn't so crazy itself, but the fact that this set of twins is on the EXACT same schedule as Brock and Mia is a little hard to believe. Brock and Mia were due August 25 and these new little twins are due August 26. I have to say that is all a little unnerving! (But things are looking as optimal as they could be, so we are feeling somewhat more secure this time, though if you ask me, I won't be able to rest easy until the safe arrival of two healthy babies!)

Anyway, I always feel the need to tell my sweet babies that we really are working hard to be able to be with them again, and that I hope they can be patient with us while we go through this life. I miss and love my little babies so much!

This year, as in years past, Todd and I (and Izzie!) go to Morgan and put new cute decorations up for Brock and Mia's birthday. We usually take some photos too, so here are the shots from this year.

I had no clue there were so many similarities between the two twins' pregnancies! That is crazy! So glad things are on schedule and looking good!

Those little twins are so lucky to have you and Todd as parents, as is Izzie and these babies. Time does heal, but alot of similaities I did not realize. May you be blessed as you go through each day.

I know this comment is totally late, but just wanted to say happy birthday again to your sweet babies. I will forever remember the day they were born. They are loved and missed.
