Two Precious Gifts

How can you not think these two are the most precious gifts from above? Twins-WOW is all I can say. I am so intrigued by twins, from how they are carried together inside their mother for 9 months to the close bond they always will share. When I was little, I always remember thinking how neat it would be to be a twin and how when I got older I would love to have twins. While I do not have twins, my two best friends do. I am in awe just by watching London and Jody care for, nurture and raise them. It must be one difficult task, but one that is so rewarding. I know first hand what it takes to be a mother of two children, but mine are different ages; I cannot even image what it takes to be a mother to two babies at once. But as I watch both of my friends, I see what a wonderful job they are doing and how much their children love them. It goes without saying that being a mother is the most fulfilling job on the earth, one I would not trade for anything and one I would give my life for in a heartbeat. So, I know without a doubt that having twins just doubles a mother's love.

With all that, please meet Addie and Brooks Latimer. They have finally arrived after much anticipation on December 21, 2007. I came to know these babies way before they were even born. I was pregnant with Rhen while Jody was pregnant with them. It was wonderful to have such a close friend to go through pregnancy with. Many of you know Jody and Jason's story about the loss of their precious Camden, and when everyone found out they were having twins, it was a sign from God that he was watching over this family. It was such a joyous occasion the day they were born and one I will never forget-thank you Jody and Jason for letting me be a part of your lives. I love ALL 5 of you!!
