2. On Friday, I held my babies close as I heard the news of a woman that passed away from breast cancer. I had only met her a couple times but I was still impacted by her story as I think anyone would be. She was my age, owned a local baby boutique and was pregnant and due with twins the same time we were. They closed the store when she became ill and I kept track of her ups and downs through her blog. I am just broken hearted for all that her family is going through right now and all that they will go through in the future without their wife and momma. I really hate cancer.
3. Grant has decided that he only wants to go potty standing up now. Time to invest in bulk packages of Clorox wipes!
4. When we were pregnant with the girls, our home computer had crashed and I was using my work computer to store some pictures. Last week I put together a slideshow for work for our Ten Year Anniversary and came across this picture. My good friend B made this cake for us to tell our Life Group that we were expecting twins. Amazing how a picture of a cake can bring back so many emotions.
5. I am in total denial that October is coming and I will have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. This year went by in the blink of an eye.

9. I really miss Good Afternoon America. Anyone else?
10. Blessing of the week: catching up with college sorority sisters at a wedding this past weekend. There is something special about college friends because you are all living within feet of each other and your only responsibility is to study so you can devote the rest of your time and energy to friends. I have to admit that I really miss that feeling. Don't get me wrong, I have wonderful friends. But they all have their own families that keep them busy. And, most of them grew up here so in their spare time they have childhood friends and family that keep them even busier. With Jason being gone a lot in the evenings and weekends, it would be really nice to have those college days back when I could simply walk next door in my pajamas for a little girl time!
