Easter Slideshow

Here's a quick little slideshow from Easter. (It may look fuzzy during your first viewing. Try it a second time and the photos should come in clearer.) We took the boys to a Easter egg hunt at the country club on Saturday and after they hung out with their favorite friends, Sophie, Ella and Gavin. Sophie and Ella are identical, too and they are all infatuated with each other. The girls are always asking for the boys and vice versa. Tommy has a major crush on Sophie. I'm sure you can see why...they are super cute!!

Gavin is their best friend and when they get together they become the three amigos. :) Wrestling, tackling, chasing, playing trucks...you know...typical GUY stuff. I've thrown in some pictures from Easter morning as well. They LOVED their baskets and insisted that they had found "bunny foot prints" in the front hall. haha It was just a great day!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

This morning we took the boys to get their eyes checked. When they were babies, my pediatrician thought their eye color was unique enough to warrant a visit to the eye doctor. (They have blue/green eyes with thick brown streaks that start at the center and go to the outer edge - very cool!) Anyway, at that appointment, the doctor hinted that they *might* need glasses one day.

Today was the big check-up and the result? No glasses necessary! The boys have "perfect" vision according to the eye doctor. YAY! I had been trying to figure out HOW we would handle glasses with these two monkeys. Great news!!!

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!

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!!
