Our old neighbor and dear friend Donna Prillaman purchased Lilah and Jaxon a baby blanket, which was given to me at one of my baby showers. I had HIGH hopes of them carrying these blankets around and becoming attached to them. And then, low and behold it happened. Jax loves his blanket, but Lilah loves her blanket much more. Lilah's blanket has a silk bow on it and I am pretty sure without the silk bow, the blanket would would NOT be nearly as valuable to her. FYI, Jax's blanket had the silk bow too, but someone pulled it off... TY! Lately, Darren and I have noticed that she loves to share EVERYTHING with the silk bow that is attached to the blanket. It's honestly the cutest AND strangest thing I have ever witnessed any one of my children doing. I am fairly certain that Lilah hadn't started sharing things with her "baby" until recently. Let me explain....

Funny Friday!
I came downstairs, this morning, with two babies, two blankets, a passie, and 3 "cell phones" in hand. I laid everything on the table and began making Lilah and Jaxon's breakfast. When I glanced over at the items I put on the table, I started to laugh. I not only carried my cell phone down, but the twins' cell phones down too!! LOL! What is this world coming to?

Clever, Creative, Cute, & Contains Cash!
A Stroll in the Park with Co-eeen!
First a birthday kiss, now a stroll in the park, holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes. WHAT NEXT? Co-eeen, I love your mommy A LOT, but I'm not sure I love you enough YET to give you my only daughter's hand. Lay off.... LOL!
How My Husbands Serves....
Sensational 6
Some of the greatest gifts God has given to me include the friends I like to call my "sensational 6". God's grace has brought us all together. Although each of these woman bring different qualities to the table, our friendship is strong, solid, and built on our common love for Christ. I'm not sure I could ever experience a greater friendship than I have experienced with these woman.

Rest, Relaxation, & Romance Is Heading Our Way!
Today, I booked a Couples Retreat Ritual for Darren and I while we are in the Bahamas. I am super excited to do this together. It will be so relaxing and very romantic, I think. Here's a sneak peak into how we will be pampered...
An indulgence just for two, the ritual begins with side by side massages in the deluxe spa villa where we will embark on a private journey together. We will relax in our generous soaking tub together containing fresh rose petals AND an additional 30 minutes of private time allows us to enjoy catered champagne and strawberries as well as lunch.
This might even be better than our wedding/honeymoon. We never even considered doing something like this 10 years ago. Next up, I want to book a super memorable excursion. Darren wants to snorkel. I want to scuba dive, BUT we are both afraid of being killed by a sea predator. YIKES!!!! God is sovereign though, so I am trying to remind myself that my day will end when it is supposed to end.

A Trip BOOKED to Paradise Island 129 days from now!
This is NOT a dream, but a dream come true. This is not a joke, but a reality. Darren and I were married almost 10 years ago on Paradise Island, in the Bahamas, at the Atlantis Resort. Since the day we got married, we said we would definitely make sure we'd come back on our 10 year Anniversary. I wasn't sure, with 3 kids, if we would actually follow through, but yesterday we planned the trip out, pressed the submit button and paid the balance on it. YAHOOOOO! We have sitters lined up and everything. Now all we need to do is get our will in place so we prove to be good stewards of what God has given to us, by properly preparing the current unknowns, in the event we never return home. Ewe, that sounds so morbid.
All Aboard the Choo-Choo Train!
At Cohen's choo-choo party, we received some adorable party favors. The cutest ones were the conductor hat and scarf. The boys received a red scarf and the girls received a pink one. Yesterday, we were up in Lilah and Jaxon's room just playing around and they actually allowed me to dress them up using the goodie bag items. Jax actually refused to let me take his off for quite some time. He's obsessed with trains and ANYTHING to do with them (I guess that means the conductor's attire too!).
