Six years ago today, we welcomed Butch and Sundance into God's beautiful world and it has never been the same. These two beautiful boys had been the dream of a girl's heart for many years. Before she knew she would even get married she dreamed of children.
I found out I was pregnant a week before I was to go to summer camp to teach tennis in the hot Texas sun. It was a miserable 4 weeks. I returned home and went to the doctor complaining of intense pain and he quickly sent us to have a sonogram with the words "FETAL DISTRESS" enblayzoned on the orders. We made it through the sonogram and the tech asked it twins ran in our family. I nievely answered, "Well, I dont' think so." to which she replied, "Well they do now."
When Butch and Sundance were born, Butch had to go to the nursery to receive some Oxygen but they brought Sundance to me. I laid there and just cried and cried, he was so beautiful. Butch followed an hour later and he too was a beautiful baby. It was overwhelming to think of two babies (and even today it is overwhelming) but we survived and now they are moving out of the preschool stage into elementary.
Butch and Sundance are wonderful boys. They are helpful, smart, and just a joy to be around. They always make me smile and can charm Toddler until he collapses in giggles. It is hard to see them grow up so fast thought it really hasn't been that fast. I have tried to enjoy every minute of it. Sometimes were harder than others and I know there is much more joy to come.
Happy 6th Birthday to my two sweet fine boys. May you continue to grow in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man. I love you.
You got my eyes misty. :) I can feel your happiness coming through. Happy Birthday Butch and Sundance!
