A giggle, a smile, a kiss on the cheek.
Sneaking into your room for one last bedtime peek.
Wiping your tears as I cuddle you tight.
Hoping my kisses make everything right.
With twice the tickles and twice the laughs,
We have two times the messes and two times the baths.
Though only two babies are running around,
We've quadrupled the love and we've tripled the sound.
We've got arms full and hearts full and joy overflowing.
With amazement we watch how you're learning and growing.
Each day brings new bruises, new bumps with each fall,
But we cherish these moments with you while you're small.
Though we're busy and crazy and sometimes feel stressed,
We also feel lucky, loved, and quite blessed.
We've had double the joy, double fun from the start...
Because two little babies have stolen our hearts.

What a cute poem. You are so creative. As I was reading it, I kept thinking "I wonder where she found this adorable poem". And to my amazement it came from your heart. I can't believe they are already ONE!! Happy Birthday Abby and Zack, you are so much fun, we will have even more fun this next year!!
I love your poem! Happy birthday twins and Lila, they are all SO cute! I love what you did for Lila's b-day.

You are the birthday throwing queen! I love 1st birthdays. Hope it was a blast!
ohhhhh, awhhhhhh, how sweet and what a perfect poem. It's all good and I am happy for you all. I wish I could be there. Love, Grandma Russ
I'm totally impressed with your poem! These kids are so cute, can you believe they're already one???
The whole time I'm pregnant I'm (literally) praying that the time will pass quickly, but as soon as these tiny little people arrive I want time to stand still.
Unfortunalely it seems that the pregnancy drags on and time flies by me once the baby (or in your case babies) is here. I suppose we have to just enjoy every moment of all of it!
Happy Birthday Zack and Abby!
Emily, I must admit that poem was remarkable! Thankyou for sharing that poem with us! You have always been a great poet... very impressive.
Love the pictures on this post. Your babies are growing so fast...they're not really babies anymore. Give them kisses for me.
Love ya!-Tami
