Happy New Year! and Happy Birthday!

I have tried to find a time to sit down daily at the computer and type something for my blog. It was one of my goals this year. Oh well, maybe next year. The ages of my kids and the location of my computer make it almost impossible to find time to blog. I am so excited to celebrate Parker and Cooper's birthday. They are one year old! They are so much fun. The twins are a blessing from the Lord. I stand amazed in God's creation of two babies that look so much the same, yet are completely different. We are so thankful for the boys. They have grown so much and have been so healthy (except for their egg allergies). They have been saying and signing some words. They have their own language that they speak between the two of them. I hear some babbling and the next thing I know, they are off to pull the moss out of our silk tree. They play together and laugh (and cry). Cooper likes to grab hold of Parker's back while Parker is crawling. Cooper laughs and Parker cries. Parker likes to kiss and pat Cooper during his diaper change. Parker laughs and Cooper cries. They stand in their cribs and talk, throw things, and laugh. They love to eat! They love solid foods and still only have one tooth. They are not interested in bottles or sippy cups which makes weaning them quite difficult. They are taking steps! Cooper has taken about nine and Parker has taken two. I am excited to see them grow this next year. I really enjoy every moment we have together.
