Two and a half!!!

I'm sitting here on the couch with my buddy Cole nestled up beside me watching Toy Story. They just woke up from naps. He said, "Come on mom! Sit here. (Pats the couch.) We'll watch Toy Story." Tommy settled in after a short discussion about why the Easter Bunny didn't come today.

I can't believe these guys are already 2.5. Where did the time go? I have to say, we are loving this age. We had an awesome day...much like any other. One filled with childhood wonder, imagination and activity.

Somedays, I want to freeze them in time. The other day, Tommy made a face and I just had a flashback to when he was a baby. It feels like yesterday! Where are my little squishy, pudgy babies with Michelin man thighs and giggles galore? They have grown into smart, imaginative, kind and loving boys who both start and end their day with laughter. We are blessed. I am so proud to be their mommy!

Happy Easter!

My brother, my friend

The boys NEEDED to get out after being cooped up with all the rain, so Kevin and I took the boys for a hike in Blue Hills this morning. They LOVED it!! We saw otters, ducks, deer and all kinds of huge birds at the outdoor museum at Trailside. Then we hiked until to a clearing and sat down on a great flat rock with amazing views for snacks. It is beautiful out today!

My favorite photo was one I captured of them holding hands while climbing the hill. It is awesome...I played around with some effects on it. But I am definitely printing the original to hang in the house. It just reminds me how special the bond is that twins share. I feel so lucky to be able to witness it!!

Funny...

So there was a gas leak outside of our house today. They didn't actually find it until nearly 5:00pm. The crews arrived around dinner time and we were informed that they would be digging for a good part of the night.

This is all well and good, except the digging was happening RIGHT outside of the boys bedroom and the workmen arrived with HUGE diggers complete with flashing lights and loud jack hammers. The boys went nuts! Kevin had to physically lay in bed with Cole and hold him down as he kept jumping up in his bed, leaning over to the window and pulling the curtains back and yelling, "Woah! Look! HUGE trucks!! DIGGERS!!!"

So funny! It is a miracle that they are sleeping right now. They are still digging away out there...

Can you guess???

Can you guess Tommy's favorite letter of the alphabet?
