Rhys & Ben 1st Birthday WOW

I can't believe it, Rhys and Ben have turned 1 year old today!

It has gone very fast and we survived it somehow.  I actually can't remember the first 6 weeks or so of their lives it is such a blur, but each week it got a bit better.

The best bit has been the cuddles and smiles.

The worst bit has been the screaming and sleep deprivation (will I ever sleep though the night again or have a sleep in?).

I am very glad I have my twinnies and very VERY glad I will never, ever have another baby again in my lifetime.  Five children is more than enough for this little black duck.

It still remains the biggest shock I have ever had in my whole life - "Rachael, it looks like you are having twins"  That statement changed my life forever.

Happy 1st Birthday xxxx

We are having a party next weekend - for Michael, Rhys and Ben.  A combined party made sense since they are 2 weeks apart and I didn't want the focus totally on Michael as it would probably freak him out a bit.

They enjoyed squishing around a little bit of cake I gave them today.

Yum this cake looks good

Intense concentration, whilst squishing up the cake

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY RHYS AND BEN  

We love you a lot

Mummy, Daddy, Alex, Jemma and Michael
