Over the course of the past two weeks or so, we've had 2 friends, one relative, and an acquaintance have a baby. Weirdly enough, they have all four had boys but that is probably just by chance. Three more of my friends are currently expecting, so it has of course gotten me thinking about the day my two boys were born. Both my boys came in the middle of the night. Labor wasn't as bad as I thought with either of them. The minute both of them were born, I remember thinking "That's it, I thought it would be harder". But again, that was what I thought after...not during! They both have the same vibrant blue eyes they had the day they were born, which I remember being surprised at since I have very dark brown eyes and my husband has green.
My oldest boy was born on February 1, 2006. He came into the world around 6:30 a.m. weighing 6 lbs 13 ounces. He was the best gift I could have ever imagined. He was and is as perfect as could be. I remember thinking he was so small and I was so in love with him. Here he is the day he was born......
My youngest boy was born on November 1, 2007. He was born around 4:20 a.m. weighing 7 lbs 8 ounces. He came fast, like he wanted out:) He has to be the most precious baby. He is full of expression and I was overcome with joy the minute he was born. Here he is on the day he was born......
There are no words....I love these boys more than the air I breathe. I am truely blessed.

It's funny that I read this today because I went & visited a school that we will probably be sending Zhara to this fall for kindergarton & I have been thinking about how fast this past 4/ 1/2 years has went & that in about 7 months I won't have her with me all day every day. She will be gone from 830 to 330 5 days a week. I feel like crying everytime I think about it. I feel like the time is slipping away. It's a new phase of life that will bring new challenges & adventures but sometimes moving onto the next phase of life brings a few tears. Your boys were & are beautiful. I think the best 2 moments in my life where when my girls were born...I felt like a little piece of heaven were in my arms. Anyway I really enjoyed your post & to always hear how much you cherish your children because they really do grow very quickly
