Six Months!

The twinsies are six months old! 

Dan's cousin, Scott, gave us the sweetest gift last Christmas. While in Peru he noticed these adorable baby sweaters, bought two, and sent them to us. This is a testament to his thoughtfulness - that while he was in another country, he thought of us, he thought of the twins who weren't even born yet, and he thought ahead. Thanks Scottie! We love you! 

I wanted to make sure we took pictures in these sweaters before we went to a tropical climate. Luckily, fall has set in Wisconsin and the cool, crisp day called for such!

One thing that surprises me
is how different these two are. They were born at the same time, from the same parents, growing in the same environment, given the same things, and they are both made in the image of God. It shows me how vast and many are God's characteristics and how he loves and appreciates all of us in our uniquenesses!
