Happy Birthday, dear Luke and Isabel

Today, my little twinky babies turned one year old! I am overjoyed to have two healthy, happy babies, but can't help but feel a little tear welling up in my eye at the year that has passed.  We have so many happy memories of this year, and just so much emotion.   They have brought an unbelievable level of happiness into our home that makes my heart swell every day!  

They had SO much fun and excitement over the weekend and today.  We started the fun off by celebrating Clay's 7th bday on Thursday night, then enjoyed all our cousins, aunts, uncles, and family that came down to celebrate at our home on Saturday.  It was a BEAUTIFUL day, so we took the party outside and just enjoyed the day.  Luke and Isabel really loved playing with all their cousins, and it was just so so special having everyone together!  All the children were so sweet to the babies, and they all got along so good!  They are enjoying all their fun new toys and are happy to be ONE!  

Thank you to all our family for enriching our lives with your special love for Isabel and Luke.

Here is an assortment of pictures from the weekend and today.

Happy Birthday, Luke and Isabel! The party looked so sweet - I know y'all had a great time. It's a happy time, but definitely a sentimental time - hard watching our babies grow up, isn't it?? :)

2 days before the twins arrived....
I am so thankful my Dad took this picture....to remind me what it felt like to hold two precious lives inside of me...

Be encouraged!

Lord fill my heart with Yours
that I may know Your will,
those things that I should act upon
and when you want me still.

Guard my mind from useless thoughts
that clutter, harm, confuse.
Create in me a closeness
that Your course I'll always choose.

Clear my hearing, teach me
to identify the lies,
that I may only hear the truth
of who I am in Christ.

Lord, satisfy and fill me
with Your Spirit from above,
that I may truly know the freedom
of Unfailing Love.

Then planted deeply in that love,
my heart in full surrender,
Lift the veil for all to see,
my life display Your splendor.


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11
