Did you know that I used to write poetry? When I was younger I often turned to writing when I was "dealing" with life. I miss it. At best, I'm a novice. Here are some thoughts to celebrate Ethan and Kaleb turning six.
Six. 6. Sicks. Sticks. Snicks.
Our twins turned 6 today. Six years ago they were born too soon. Tubes, ventilators, monitors, wires, hushed conversations, fear, fear, fear, and endless tears. Our first months were defined by sorrow and survived by faith.
Our twins turned 6 today. Tonight they ate sweet, vanilla birthday cake. Tools, cap guns, bicycles, sticks, outloud laughter, joy, joy, joy, and endless smiles. Our days are defined by grace and lived by faith.

Dear Traci,
Thanks for the invitation to your BLOG.The name is reflective of your delightful creativity. Your poem so parallels the conversation GUW and I had on the boysie's birthday! God is amaizing!
Proudly, Auntie P
Wow, I had no idea. God is awesome. I would love to meet your precious little blessing some day. I can only imagine how hard the first years were but I know exactly how rich and fullfilling your lives are today. Enjoy the many more memories you get to make!!
