Best buddies

Ryan and Caitlin are 20 months apart, which proved very challenging when they were younger, but now it's wonderful. I wouldn't choose to have them any farther apart. They are great playmates (most of the time), co-conspirators (against me!), and love being with each other (so much so that they freak out and wonder where the other one is if they are alone with me -- I think they are worried that I forgot the other child somewhere!). Hopefully they'll still be buddies when they reach high school and they are only a year apart in school.

We feel truly grateful to have these two little blessings in our lives. They bring challenges and frustrations, but they also bring a whole bunch of joy!

Sheer exhaustion after a long day with no naps or quiet time. I had to keep them up so they would go to bed early so I could get some work done.
