Good Mail!

Today I received quite the treat... a letter in the mail, just for me! I can't remember the last time that happened. And to make it even better, it's from a great friend that I've known for 20 years. (whoa... that just made me feel old because I met her in 7th grade! Was that really 20 years ago?)

So, thank you, Michelle, for the note and the cute pics of your twins in their "just-starting-mobility-stage." She sent me a picture of her twins almost five years ago getting into the same cereal-all-over-the-floor-mess that my guys are pulling off almost daily. (Alex, can you pppplease keep the pantry door shut?) My SIL, Julie, and I often comment that until you have twins of your own, you just never quite understand all the implications that come along with it in your daily life. (Although, I still can't imagine my mother and MIL having 7 children... how did they do it??) So, it's nice to get a reminder that I'm not in this boat alone.

And Michelle, you have the greatest attitude! One little part of the note that I'm really clinging to is this line (hope you don't mind if I share): "One day you will look back and laugh and then cry - because those little trouble makers are all grown up." So, I'll enjoy the moments, even if they make me a bit crazy at the moment. Because I know I too will look back with fondness, and wonder how in the world these little ones all-of-a-sudden got so big.

Here's to many more messes and memories. And to good mail.
