Man, my parents were right. Time does fly. The twins turn 2 on Saturday, and we have a big party planned at Mr. Gattis.
Nate came up with the theme - a "pair of twos."
The postcard reads:
On August 9, deuces are wild.
Be sure to set the date.
The Reynolds twins are turning 2.
Help make their party great.
We were proud of our creativity. You gotta capitalize on the fact you've got something - twins - most people don't have.
It seems like yesterday that they were just learning to sit up without the assistance of a Bumbo. But then things happen to put things into perspective and you realize how far you've come. Josh and Karlee had their second baby Monday, August 4 - a gorgeous baby girl, Halle. Halle weighs a healthy seven pounds... but holding her I couldn't remember ever holding something so small. And to think the twins were only five pounds! Seeing little Halle made me realize we've made it through a lot of milestones. And, to be honest, we might be going through the terrible 2s in the worst way possible, but at least the kiddos sleep through the night and can (finally) tell us what they want/need... I feel for Josh and Karlee - they're starting all over with the HARD stuff! But, as they say, sleep is overrated.
Wish more family could come to the party. Amarillo is too darn far away. But Mom, GB and Dad will be there along with the whole Reynolds clan. I'll take lots of pictures for the Boettchers and Johnsons who can't join the fun and gain weight along with the rest of us at Mr. Gattis. All I have to say is "coconut pizza." Heaven by the slice.
