Eight Year Old Twins...Really?!?

Eight years ago today, the Whitfield family expanded by two. Never could I have imaged how wonderfully difficult and horrendously amazing my life would become with the addition of Sarah and Sydney. We were blessed with Katie two years earlier and she was our world. How could our world get any better? Those first few months I was sure it wasn't going to be better as I wasn't sure I was going to be able to handle three babies. Looking back on that time, I remember very little, except lack of sleep and thousands of diapers.

Now as I gaze at my beautiful daughters, I truly cannot imagine my life any other way. Most of the time it's chaotic and stressed pandemodium, but in all honesty that's part of the joy. The Pink Tornadoes, as they were named due to their whirlwind natures, make everyday an adventure. Eight years seems like a blink of an eye. I've asked for a "life" remote control for Christmas, so I can push "pause" for a while. Since there is little chance of that I guess I'll settle in to see what the next eight years will bring. God help us when these two turn sixteen!
