I'm so glad we made it to this very BIG milestone! And I was able to nurse the twins the whole year! And I didn't go completely insane! And David and I are still married! (I know a LOT of twin parents who are divorced...it really does a number on your marriage.) I actually think our marriage is stronger, even though things like date night and sleeping in the same room have been put on such a far back burner I think they may have fallen off the stove. But we have tried to go out on dates when we can, and usually take the twins along.

The post below (C is for Clive) is a photo book I made for his 9th birthday coming up in December. He has admired one I made for Noodle when she turned 6 and has mentioned several times that he would like one of his own. I am making a dedicated effort to improve our relationship (we have pretty different approaches to life) and it was really sweet to look through my photos and remember so many happy and fun times with him.
