They are sleeping!!!

Well we are hitting a turning point with the twins and the kids in general!  The twins both slept 6 hours straight last night- yeah- i think  we are beginning to feel like real people agian- at least for today!  They are also starting to notice when you are speaking and look around a lot!  It is amazing to see how much they change and also a little sad to see that newborn stage ending so fast!  Amelia has realized that her mother is much more stubborn then her and has given in to potty training- there has to be something said for waiting a while as she has had no accidents the last two days- with the boys in school I think she has realized how much attention she gets from mommy when she goes on the potty- hey i am willing to do almost anything not to have to buy pull ups again- at least for a while- haha  The boys are into their school schedule quite well now and although i still have to drag Walt out of bed in the morning- something that will probably not change!  I have the wonderful experience of having two neighbors stop by today and visit with me as well as bring dinner for my family- what a blessing  it was for us as it had been a long day!  It is amazing as we always try to think of ways to share God's love with others and through the experience of having the twins I have realized how just merely stopping the busy schedule to visit with someone and take time for them means so much.  There is this cute country song called Watching You- it is amazing to realize how much your children learn about every aspect of life by watching us- i loved the part in the song were the dad asks the son "were did you learn to pray like that?  and he states "I learned from watching you'  wouldn't that be a wonderful thing to hear your children say!  As the twins have made me slow down in many ways it has also made me realize also about the little things for me are very huge for my children- that there are so many little ways to teach my children about God's love and so many times i miss the forest for the trees.
