It is absolutely amazing to be at a year. I feel so proud and bursting with joy. What a long hard year, and, honestly, I do not share in that feeling of sadness that infancy is over, but only hope and victory! 

We made it. 
(It's interesting to look back at my post when I found out I was having twins: double the pleasure)

Being a parent has helped me to believe the gospel more fully. As a mother, I reflect the parental heart of God our Father in the sense that I find incredible joy in enjoying my children. God loves to delight us and delight in us, and I believe that so much more now. My love for the girls is never dependent on their behavior, I love them because I love them...they are mine.

We are so unbelievably grateful to God for our miracle babies. I still cannot believe we arrived. This is SO much fun- and I can finally say with joy (and with everyone we pass in the grocery store aisles)- twice blessed.



Thank you for all you continued thoughts and prayers for the Anderson girls! Love to you.

  3. Congratulations! We were pregnant at the same time so I think your girls have a special place in my heart. My youngest just turned one also and my 5 year old and I have been praying for your little Evangeline and Audrey as we followed your story. Thank you for all the updates!
