Identification

As a Mom of twins I figured I know my babies inside and out and that I would never forget who is who in pictures, etc. Well . . . it's happened. I'm having a hard time telling the boys apart in their early pictures! I can't believe it. I'm so sad. I need to get Jeff at the computer and document who is who so we can remember years down the road. No wonder everyone kept telling us they looked so much alike!

I just can't tell you how special I feel to be the mom of Chase and Owen. Each day I'm amazed by them and the fact they are mine. They bring out the best in me and I want to be the best Mommy to them each day. This is not always easy, but I try to pray and ask for guidance and know God is providing for me.

Today I was at the computer with Chase. I was holding him up with one arm and using the mouse with the other. I got the feeling someone was watching me. I turned my head and sure enough, there was Chase's little face, just inches from mine, staring at me. As soon as I turned he started laughing! What joy for Mommy!

Owen and I were playing together today. He had a few toys around him that he really enjoys. He grabbed one of his favorites and looked up at me to see if I was there and gave me the biggest smile. My heart just melted. It was just a quick smile and he was back to his playing, but it was enough to let me know he knows Mom.

Joy fills my heart.
