Happy Birthday Owen & Claire!
We celebrated Owen & Claire’s 1st Birthday this Saturday. It was an event that’s for sure! I have never seen so many people in my house at one time. At one point I looked up and thought if another person walks in this door my house is going to crash! ha ha! I counted the number of people there and so far my number is 50. WOW! It was more than I ever imagined it could be.
Something happened Saturday. I have held onto this grief, anger, and resentment since the day they were born. I felt robbed of that moment all mothers tell you they have, when they get to hold their child for the first time. I didn’t know how I could ever let go of that feeling. After the party I looked at Owen & Claire and thought this is awesome! I was able to let it go!!!! They are growing up and I am okay with it. I am excited for what’s to come! I didn’t feel sad anymore about them getting older. YAY!
Sunday we stopped at McDonalds and they got their first taste of french fries! Loved them! Wait a minute what am I thinking? They needed carrot sticks lol!
