Does life ever stop getting crazy or do you just have to adjust?
For the past couple of months I have been trying to wrap my head around the prospect of having 3 children. Yes, Kent and I are expecting. I feel like it took me a couple of months because of how everyone tells you how hard 3 is. So you can only imagine what happened last week when the Dr. told me that we are actually having 2 babies! TWINS!!!!
It is very crazy and I can't believe it but that is what is happening in our house. We are only a couple of months along so hopefully everything will go well, but we are looking at doubling our family in late April, early May. We have no idea how we are going to do it and are once again just realizing that we will have to adjust and just go with it. We feel that if Heavenly Father has blessed us with these two babies then he has faith in us so we should have faith in ourselves.
So here is to having 4 kids 4 and under!!!!

Holy Cow Marie! Congrats! I kept reading your title and was thinking what else could be a "new additions." I was thinking along the line of furniture. lol. I hope everything keeps going well for you. These twins couldn't have asked for a better home.

Well, congrats first of all..
Hey, I guess you get to skip the 'hard third' all together. That is so much fun! I am jealous, and scared for you in the same sentence!

Kent and Maria,
Congratulations! That is wonderful and exciting and crazy and fairly nerve wracking news. You guys will be awesome and your babies are so lucky! I hope everything goes smoothly with your pregnancy and everything!
Much love,
Becca Barker Dall
Maria,
I pop in and check out your blog once in awhile and WOW! What a great surprise! I'm so happy for you. What lucky babies to come to your family!! Congratulations. Sarah
OK Maria.. I finally had a thought.. you had me stumped. How about a sterling silver harp charm. I found a few on-line for under $13... wrapped in a small box with silver or gold foil wrap with a few h. kisses in a bag would be really sweet and pretty I think. Or you could do a really old piece of harp music sans copyright that you could copy and roll up with a pretty ribbon. That's all I've got.. hope it's helpful. :)
