The Glenn twins: ONE year

My dear, sweet, precious boys:

 

In a matter of seconds (or so it seems) you two have gone from my teeny tiny newborns to ONE year olds.  This has been, without a doubt, the fastest, craziest, busiest, but absolute BEST year of my life.  We really had no clue what we were in for or what to expect with twins…but you boys have far exceeded my expectations in the BEST way possible.  Everyone warned us, “you are going to have your hands full, the first six months are awful/hard, you’ll never leave the house”….the list goes on,  BUT I don’t feel like that was true with us at all.  You boys have been amazing from the start and made our transition from a family of three to a family of five go MUCH better than we could have ever imagined.

Now, don’t get me wrong…we all had our moments.  Everything wasn’t always rainbows and butterflies and I would never want anyone to think so….but it wasn’t nearly as hard or crazy as we thought it was going to be…and that was all because of Y’ALL.  Neither of you were really fussy babies, you both nursed well, slept well and adjusted to each new “milestone” well.  You both continue to amaze your dad and me on a daily basis, as much as we still can’t believe you two are ours we can’t imagine our life without y’all either.  You boys have made my heart grow, my emotions soar, and happiness radiate, and for that I will be forever thankful.

 

My G man, grambo, peanut:

 

You, my little one, are sweet as sugar.  You’ll probably hate me saying that one day…but good golly, I could just eat you right up.  You are always smiling with your big beautiful eyes and giggling at anyone or thing that makes you laugh.   You’ll clear a room to crawl in my lap (which makes my heart melt) and you seem to be very laid back.  You are much more the one to sit back “and take it all in” and just watch the world around you.  (Although you did turn in to QUITE the busy body at the beach this weekend and LOVED crawling STRAIGHT into the water).  I hope you always have that sweet disposition about you and I hope you ALWAYS want to crawl in your mama’s lap.  I love YOU more than you’ll ever know and am so thankful that God chose ME to be your mama.

 

My little putt putt:

 

You are my mini me, the only of my three that looks just like me…(everyone calls you mini Kenny!) and we already think that you, sweet boy, are going to take after your mama in the patience and stubbornness department as wellJ  You are definitely our “wrecking ball” child….in to everything and a curious cat.  You don’t sit still much and don’t like when you don’t get your way.  See?  Definitely your mother’s child ;-)  It’s funny to think how worried I was about you during your short NICU stay…you left that hospital and never looked back!  Your beautiful blue eyes remind me so much of your granddaddy’s as well as your love for food!  You make me laugh almost every day and I cannot wait to watch your little personality blossom.  I love YOU more than you’ll ever know and am so thankful that God chose ME to be your mama.

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
