Yes, that's right my friends--Jake and Abby are ten years old today. I just can't believe my little babies are that old. As I've been thinking about this day ten years ago, I've had many different emotions--the strongest one being that I'm glad it isn't ten years ago. Bill and I were so scared, didn't know what to expect, and more that anything overwhelmed. But, when I saw and held those sweet little bundles, I surprised myself and knew it would all be ok.
They are such sweet natured and well-behaved kids, that they have made these ten years relatively easy for me. Not to mention they have brought such joy, love and happiness to my life that I never thought possible.
Abby is such a nuturer--she is basically Jake and Sophie's little mother. She is so sweet and kind to others. She is also very creative and talented. I love how she is always "redecorating" her room with her stuffed animals and different decorations she's made.
Jake is a tender-heart. He is always concerned for other people's feelings and is always willing to help. He is always the first to say, "I'm really sorry, Mom" when he's done something to upset me. He has a the funniest sense of humor that always makes us and others laugh.
So, Happy Birthday Abby and Jake!! We are so thankful you are a part of our family!
