birthday boy

I already could do about 100 blog posts about the babies, the delivery, and this extreme life adjustment- it's just a little too overwhelming for me to even think about right now in the short periods I have between feedings. I'm excited to share more when I get my feet on the ground. But this one couldn't be skipped.

Happy birthday! to our favorite man on campus! Daddy got 2 very special presents for his birthday this year:

We like to call them Lyla and June. :)

I had a special gift I wanted to make Brad for his birthday, but it fell out of the running on my ever growing "to do" list before the babies were born, and we've been a little...um, shall we say, occupied over the past couple weeks.  Unfortunately, daddy can't participate in the demanding task of nursing these babies, but he helps out how he can:
We're big skin-to-skin fans at our house, here's daddy snuggling June:

and burping Lyla:

I can't begin to express how much gratitude I feel for my life right now. I feel so undeserving of so many blessings. I scored the best husband in the world and have been blessed with the 2 most precious, beautiful things I've ever seen. These little girls are our lives now, I couldn't do this without Brad (obviously...) but seriously. I couldn't get through life without him. He is such a great man. He is so talented, kind, and generous. I'm so glad Heavenly Father made me wait for him because I couldn't have pictured a better life. Brad is already such an amazing dad. I love him so much for everything he does for our little family. He makes me want to be better. He makes me want to get my hormones under control so I can quit crying over everything. :) He's my favorite person, and I get to keep him forever!
Here's to you mi amor!
