Goodbye 1, Hello 2!

Tonight I put by 1 year olds to bed for the last time :( When they awake bright and early tomorrow they will be the big 2! Part of me is sad, part of me is excited, and part of me is scared! Sad that they are growing up, excited because they are growing up, and scared that the next two years are going to go as fast as the last 2!! Make sense? It does in my mind, so I'll go with it! This next line I am about to type I am sure I will need to re-read many times over the course of the next 12 months...Here it is...I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE TERRIBLE TWOS! It is going to be my mantra, that I will repeat to myself daily! The way I look at it is...2 is OUR number around here, we do 2 well, errrr scratch that I don't know about well I'll just say we do 2 in the Saas household!

I have many things to blog about, like what we have been up to and tons of pictures since the last time I posted which was over 6 months ago I believe! I try to keep up,seriously I do, but the truth is that by the time I get them in bed at night I am EXHAUSTED and I am afraid that anything that I type may not make sense! Since this is my virtual baby book I'll end with my birthday note to my not so little, but not to grown up babies!

To my Sweet Graham and Liza,
On the eve of your second birthday I wanted to leave you a little note to let you know that your Momma and Daddy LOVE you more than anything in this world. Each day this past year has been filled with learning, growing, laughter, amazement, frustration, meltdowns of epic proportions, but most of all each day has been filled with LOVE! You both make me strive to be a better person and make me want to make this world a better place for you to grow up in.
Liza- you are my ball of energy. From the time your feet hit the floor in the morning until the time we put you to bed at night you are on the go. Everything you do is with a sense of urgency and purpose. You are always concerned about Graham and never accept a snack unless I give you one to take to your brother! Your memory is second to none, if I show you something once you are a master at it in no time!
Graham- you are your Daddy's boy!!!! You want to be outdoors and free to explore at all times! You LOVE to help Mommy vacuum, which is a chore that I hope you never tire of! When it comes to your "Lizee" which you lovingly call your sister you pick and choose your battles wisely...at times you let her have her way and others you take a stand for the toy that you want to play with! You my son, are wise beyond you years and that last trait will probably serve you well throughout life!
So to my Handsome Sir and Sweet Lady.....Happiest of Birthdays! I am so excited to see what year 3 has in store! You two and your Daddy are my heart...Love, Momma
