Twins!
I always wonder why God gave us twins.. They don't run in the family. In fact neither sides have any... So why did God choose us to raise them?? I am sure that God has a sense of humor so I am sure that he is getting a good belly laugh on this one...When I first found out I was pregnant I was so upset.. No more kids I said. I am done. Of course it was all John's fault for sure... I am sure for a full month I didn't have much nice to say to him.... Then I got over it and then the big news TWINS!!! It all seemed ok after we found Shiloh,,,, THE GIRL FINALLY... I can still remember Marquita running down the hospital hall telling the guys "She's a 10, she's a 10!!!" I could only laugh because I had a great epidural. They have changed our lives so much. I found these outfits that they are wearing in the first picture the other day in a drawer. They were so small.... They were born totally healthy and almost the same weight as a single baby... What a blessing. Shiloh who is 5 minutes older. is such a girlie girl. As we like to call her "The Princess".... She loves to help mom do laundry, cooking, dishes, just about anything a homemaker does. She loves her nails painted and also the whole make up thing. On the other hand she can take Joseph down and holy cow she has this ear piercing scream..... When she gets ticked off well lets just say look out... Then there is Joseph... Quiet, laid back, hugger, smoocher..... the more sensitive caring kind... Which is what most women want out of a man..... right?? He loves to be held and rocked still. Shy around strangers for sure. Always needs mom and dad still. Which is a great feeling for us... But when you take his toys (horses) away well lets just say LOOK OUT!! He can definately hold his own when he is mad. They are both so precious and so different. And how they fit in with there other siblings is an adventure everyday... I can't imagine life without any of them. Children are definatley a gift from God and he is entrusting us to raise them in the word. Can we do it??? Some days I wonder if I am a good enough mom for all this craziness but every day is a new day and God always seems to put ideas in my mind to keep going. The twins definately fit in and I am ashamed I ever questioned God. I love them with all my heart and trust God 100% that he made the right decision by giving Shiloh and Joseph to us. God Bless!
Ahhh such a sweet post. Yes I do remember the " she's a ten! " announcement!

I am so glad you left your comments! How wonderful to meet another Christian like us! I literally published these posts today (this is my first blog) and I was SO excited to get your comments! What a neat way to be connected with fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord! AND I know I will have so many questions for you about the goats and chickens!! George is so nice but my spanish is limited and it's really hard to ask him about the livestock we are buying from him! He's got 1 week old goats that I think he was telling me he can sell them to me in a month (for weening purposes I assume)--they are a mix of Alpine and Boer goats--he said he'd sell a baby for 45 and a mommy for 100--sounds like a good deal to me! If we keep milking the goat will it just have milk all year long? So many questions...glad to know you! God bless--your family looks so sweet! I hope to homeschool too!
ReplyDeleteAnd you are right--I think I am going to try and let the chickens out with the dogs--they are just puppies and they are nice enough with the cat and the cat isn't afraid of them either--when he's had enough poking and prodding he'll run up a tree :) And I hear roosters can really hold their own and protect the hens too. So I might just carefully try letting them out together. Do you think I should be worried about the cat getting at the rooster and chicken (there's only the 2 so far--not including the ill-fated young broiler rooster-- but I do plan on having chicks!)
