Did I blink?

Where has the time gone?  The twins will be one next month and we'll have a five year old the following month.  I can't believe how fast this year has gone.  We've had our ups and downs but I wouldn't trade it for the world.  We got through the "adjustment period" with our oldest when the twins came  home and now he is very protective and in love with them.  They LOVE playing with him and crawling after him and their giggles are contagious when doing so.  We've survived illnesses (hand/foot/mouth, strep throat, common colds (x6), and are currently teething.  I thought one child teething was rough...ha!  Two teething babies at once are a true test.  I successfully nursed the twins for ten months and they are self feeding more table foods each week.  William is a GOOD eater like his big brother and will be eating us out of house and home (I can't imagine their teenage years).  Olivia would rather be fed by spoon and doesn't like to get her hands dirty.  Both W & O are walking assisted with walking toys and "monkey walk" along the couch.  They stand unassisted and are getting stronger everyday.  Cameron cannot wait to have them chasing after him around the house.  He is very encouraging of them as they traipse across the living room floor with their push toy. 
I am currently planning their first birthday party (Mickey/Minnie theme) and look forward to their photo session and cake smash next weekend to kick off the celebrations.  Cameron is anxious to have his "Racecar" party in April and is excited to start school in the fall.  He is most excited about nap times becoming optional though. :)
Robert continues to work hard to provide for us and I am so appreciative of him and proud of his successes.  I never thought being a stay at home mom would be an option for me.  We are successfully living within our means and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
This is just a quick update on us, as it has been ages since I last posted.  I hope each of you reading this is doing well.  Love and well wishes for each of you! XO
