Thirteen years and one day ago my life was super easy. Thirteen years and two twins later, I’m lucky enough to say I’ve lived two lifetimes. Twice the amount of diapers, twice the amount of bottle feedings, and twice the amount of clothes and burgers and doctor visits and video games and drawings and laughs and hugs and love. Lots and lots of love. Not only do I get to say, “Goodnight, Sam” but also, “Goodnight, Ben.” It’s been a long 13 years—and it’s gone by way too fast.

Happy Birthday boys!!
