Six Month Update

The last six months have been absolutely surreal. Our little family has settled into becoming a group of five (including Zoe), and I just love being a mom now. Some days are really, really hard, but I think we are in a real sweet spot right now. They have the most amazing little personalities and if there is anything I love about having two it is finding and celebrating their differences. Having twins has not been easy, but they are sleeping a bit more and are a bit more predictable so that helps a lot.  We just love them to bits and I can't remember what I ever did with all my free time before they were here.
