The Holidays

I can't believe how time is just flying by so fast! It has been just about 5 months since our world changed for ever and we received these girls. Some days it feels like a life time that we have had them and some days it feels like it just happened. But all in all these girls have changed so much since we did get them, Sis is 28 months now and baby is 13 mo already, wow! Sis has lost at least 6lbs and is growing like a weed, she is going to be a tall thing let me tell you, she will surely pass us both up! Baby girl has gained 6lbs and is growing so fast as well, so happy but I am still worried about her growth all of the time! Sis is like 90% on the growth charts and Baby like 20%, wow they are so different already. Sis is sweet and loving, loves to please, Baby is feisty as heck and always naughty but loves her Mommy lots so thats ok I will love her back too little fire cracker! :)
The holidays are here, we got through a fantastic Thanksgiving and now it's already Christmas time, crazy! I kept thinking as the months went by Lord please let us have them for the holidays! Our prayers and wishes have come true. To know at this Christmas 2010 that this little gal, Sissy, is going to be with us forever and many, many Christmases to come is just unbelievable. It is so fun to have them here this year, to share them with the family and see the joy in their eyes. I love the new traditions we are starting and what we get to show them too. I have just dreamt of this for so long now, I have to really pinch myself that it is really happening. I loved the holidays when I was a child and it is so fun to see that again in a childs eyes as an adult and a new Mommy. I had spent the last few years yerning for a family so bad and now we have one and I absolutely love this feeling. I am so excited for this Christmas and so excited for 2011, ready to bring in a new year that is bringing us our first daughter and hoping her Sister too, which would be our 2nd daughter as well. I am so thankful for what we have, we are blessed beyond words to have these angels in our lives and the situation we do have. We are still fighting for Baby girl but I really feel inside and have so much faith it is going to be ok.
I think of the day we got them so often and it was all because of the guy up above and a sweet gal at our agency, we will call her an angel, if it wasn't for them we would not have these girls and would not be where we are right now, in pure love and joy!
