Coming up to 1 year

I am with Jess though I have not posted recently you must forgive. With two busy toddlers and working full time, plus keeping the house in some simblance of order. time at the computer is short if any. A year when you talk of time seems so long but as a parent now it is preciouis and fleeting. as I look at the photos over teh past year it amazes me how my two precious children have changed.
Frightened and shell shocked their faces so scared and unknowing of what to expect. To now two bouncy and very selfassured children now full of confidence in facing the world. Though my son still asks good boy mommy good boy. Yes my son you are a good boy. My daughter when she came home was bald and totally lost at what to do now is full of swagger. a total actress knowing that she is beautiful. will bat her lashes at any person she wants to try and win over. Mostly her dad.
Though language is coming slowly Mommy understands better then most other people but we wil be getting re-evaluated in a weeks time. I believe both will be accepted( I pray they do).
one year amazing for anyone getting started or in the process. Have hope, Have faith, and know that in the end I promise you it is all worth every trial and tribulation that you are going through.
