Today is the bwins' 7th birthday! I now have three 7 year old boys in my house (for a week). This is the second birthday that they have spent at home with us. It was so great to see the sparkle in their eyes to know that they had a special day. L's first question was, "Do we get presents?" El just kept hugging us and telling us he loved us. Both boys said "thank you" many times throughout the day. The morning was laid back. We had special waffles for b-fast. Then for lunch we went to Sonic. The boys had received coupons for free Wacky Pack Kids' Meals. They never EVER get anything like that (too many kids), so it was a real treat for them. Afterwards, we went swimming at a friend's house. She had b'day cake and presents for all 3 boys (J's is in a week). About 5 p.m., we headed back home to cook dinner and get the party started. Each child had gifts for the boys- from clearance sunglasses to toys that they just decided to give. We also gave them our gifts. H's gift to the boys is below. She made them a Nemo cake. Isn't it cute? She did a great job!!  It baffles my mind to think back to what it might have been like 7 years ago when they were born across the ocean in another land, to another momma with another language. They were tiny, topping out at 2 3/4 and 3 1/4 pounds. We have been told that El was the first of two babies. That's all we know. We don't even know what time they entered this world. I wonder what kind of healthcare they had, what they went through, how long they were in the hospital. None of that information is known by us. We missed the first 5 birthdays, but we cherish the last two we have had with them and look forward to many more. Here are some pics of the birthday boys that I took yesterday. They are absolutely too precious and cute!!
 Happy Birthday Sweet Seven Year Old Boys!!!Your family loves you!!!
