Happy Birthday My Loves!

To say that this has been a year full of change would be an understatement...

A year ago today our little family of 2 grew to 4. We have been ridiculously blessed. There could not have been 2 more perfect little girls for Nate and me. They are the apples of our eyes. I overload my social media sources with pictures, posts, and updates of our little miracles . I CANNOT get enough of them.!

 There is not enough time in the day to shower them with the hugs and kisses I have for them. I am as every bit of excited to be their mommy as I was the day we were told our birth mother chose us.

 I am fortunate to be the mother of these 2 angels and I work hard everyday to show my gratitude for them.

Lily and Aryiah are as different as they come.

Lily Rose is as gentle and delicate as her name suggests. She is inquisitive and alert to her surroundings. With this comes caution and reservations :)  She is selective to those she shares her smiles with. Lily loves clothes and music. Whenever I fold laundry she is right behind me unfolding the clothes, running her hands over the different fabrics, putting them in her mouth and over her head. She also loves to watch me do my hair and makeup!Lily's first word was "Dada" and she absolutely adores her "Dada." She is the twin who will often entertain herself and is the lower maintenance of the two.

Aryiah Michelle is a ray of sunshine. Her smile is infectious. Some call her a Vulcan but to me she is my Ry Ry-my ray of sunshine. Aryiah will often stare at people until they look back just so she can smile at them. She is curious and determined. With this comes a one track mind and a bulldozing for Lily. She is fascinated with people and wants to be with them. Aryiah's true passion is food. She will try anything and delights in the food tasting process. She is very opinionated for her age. She does extremely well with communicating her "Yes" and "No's" with us. Aryiah says "mama" and loves to be by my side-Always. She loves to be "doing" not watching. When I do my makeup she demands that she holds and/or eat whatever I am using...

I love them with every fiber of my being. They are my world and I am so excited for their future!

Happy Birthday my loves! Mommy loves your more that "words can say," "to the moon and back," "I love you for always," and "I love you because you're you!"
