July 8th

I still find this completely unnerving. It's not often when you know exactly where you were on a certain day, years ago, but I do.

On July 8, 2007, we were at the Portland Zoo. We had just gone to a friend's wedding the day before. We took pictures, I remember.


Then on July 8, 2008, we were at home. It was hot and Adia was playing soccer with Daddy.


And July 8, 2009. Well, not exactly a day I could ever forget. That's the twin's birthday.


I can't believe that 2 years previously, I was walking around the zoo, Adia strapped to my chest. I had no idea that 2 years later, I'd be holding my twin girls. And next year... the twin's first birthday, I wonder what that day will be like.
