two under two

This is the third time in my momma-hood that I've had two children under age 2.

Julianna and Lydia, fall 2007.

 Lydia and Isaac, summer 2009.

[missing picture from a missing event - Isaac and John Paul had a few months where both were under age 2, spring 2011... but of course John Paul wasn't here.]

And now here we are again - John Paul and Luke, fall 2012.

And from someone who has walked this road, lemme tell ya something about life with two under two.

It's busy.

And its funny.

And its blessed.  Years ago when I actually thought that I was pretty much in control of when children entered our family (ha!) I'm not sure I would have written the script this way.  But now that I'm living it.... well, most days I love it.

I watch these two little guys and cannot wait to see what the Lord does with their relationship.  I've got an inkling that it's gonna be intense at times - Luke is a little on the feisty side, and John Paul is hardly one to back down from a challenge.  But I pray that I would navigate the waters well (with them, and for them).

And for these next months of 2 under 2 - grace and energy and patience and laughter, lots and lots of laughter.
