The Twins are 3 years old!

Survived another year!   I can say it is getting easier.   They are playing so well independently.   I can sit outside while they play on the swing set and actually read a book.   I never thought I would see the day.   Seriously those first few years were tough.   Not fun.  The hardest part now is the fighting.  Once in a while we still have whining and temper tantrums but hopefully those will dwindle away more.  

We had a Hello Kitty Birthday Party.  (same theme we had for Cassie at age 3)


Birthday Girls!
It is strange to think that they are now the age Cassie was when we started the IVF process to have them.     Time did go fast when I stop and look back at how old they are now, but in the midst of their baby and toddler hood it was never ending.  The saying "the days are long but the years are short is very true."

Once they turned 3 it was time for hard core potty training.   Pretty much took 1 day for them to get the idea.  Mandy is pretty much 100% trained.  She even remained dry the past 2 nights.  Emily has a bit more work but overall she is doing great.

We have done more with the kids the past few weeks since we had the twins.  Like I said... its getting easier.  I have also been taking all 4 of the kids to the grocery store, library even swimming at the YMCA by myself.   That was a little touch and go but it worked.   Life Vests were my best friend.

All ready for Mom to take them swimming
