Grateful

Maybe I am especially emotional right now because I just read a very sad blog of a young twin who passed away recently. But sometimes it takes something like that to remind me of how grateful I am to have the boys of course, and also family and friends. Everyday I thank god for the boys and that they were born healthy and have become such happy, overactive little toddlers. When life's little setbacks get me down, all I need to do is think how lucky I am and how many people wish to have children and cannot. A neighbor I know only from passing each other during walks, she just had her 3rd baby, a boy. She already had 2 girls, and I thought of how that she had spent close to 2 1/2 years of her life pregnant, when I was blessed with the same number of children but in a mere 34 weeks time. Funny how things work out.
On to the boys, they are doing AWESOME!! Running all over like mad men, always looking so busy, constantly tearing up the house. Caleb and Gage had a myterious case of the hives over the last 2 weeks, Caleb first and then 5 days later Gage broke out. Still unsure of the cause, hoping it passed Evan.
