    Thanks, everyone! I can't believe its been a whole year already.

    I'll post pics later, but here is a short summary of our first year.

    Carter and Fiona were born by C section after attempted vag delivery at 36 weeks and 4 days. My mom ("nanny") came to stay for a month and was marvelous help. About 8 weeks post-partum, we bought a new house and started renovations on it. (We intend to stay in this house a LONG LONG time!) Not long after that, when the babies were 4 months old, my MIL was diagnosed with bone cancer and after battling it for about 6 months, she passed away in December. We are so thankful that she had a chance to meet her first and second (and likely only) grandbabies -- she was 81 and had waited a long time for grandkids. We moved into our new house in January and have been trying to get unpacked and settled in.

    It has been a year of many (many) life changes for us. In many ways, I wish we could have just focussed on our babies this first year, but you gotta take what life throws at you. We are "older" parents -- I'm 42 and my DH is turning 50 at the end of March.

    Carter and Fiona are the apples of our eyes. They are cruising everywhere, crawling so fast, starting to say some words, and just so much fun. I've been getting weepy all week thinking about how fast the time has flown.

    We are planning a small party with my SIL and a few close friends with cake and ice cream. Nothing big. (I did get a bottle of wine for DH and I to have tonight with dinner). And, I picked up the cake for them this morning and Carter's name is misspelled (Cater)! Yikes! You just have to laugh sometimes. We will be telling the story of Carter's misspelled first b-day cake for years and years and year....

    Thanks to everybody at TS -- I'm a frequent lurker, if not a frequent poster.
