It's hard to believe that it has been two years since the birth of our miracle twins. From the beginning I thought the first year was going to be the hardest, but we proudly sailed right on through it. The second year humbled us quite a bit and left us wondering... what were we thinking? We really hope it can't get any worse.
Perhaps the terrible twos times two will prove 
itself to be just that, but today we throw all caution
into the Hawaiian wind as we celebrate Hadley and Chloe turning two. The girls are celebrating their birthdays in style in Hawaii with my parents, and my six siblings and their families. As it is Sunday, there is a limit to the entertainment we can provide them, but visiting the Hawaii temple, playing on its grass, and dipping into its fountains will be quite memorable for all of us.
Tonight we had a party unlike any we've had in a long time, with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins surrounding us. We sang, ate cake, and opened presents and truly felt blessed to be together. The girls are obsessed with everything baby, so it was fitting that they each received a ba
by doll with a stroller at home to match.
Clearly surviving a year of two gifted climbers, creative and resourceful artists, opportunistic sprinters, unrelenting hair pullers, jubilant water lovers, and incessant nudes deserves more than one night of celebration. Thankfully there is plenty of rich, chocolaty cake left over to get us through a few more nights. Maybe next year we'll only need a cake of the yellow variety. We can only hope!
