I can NOT believe you guys are turning 5 tomorrow. Five years ago today the doc told me at my routine checkup (which took place 3 times a week) that I was having contractions and I needed to go to the hospital (for the 15th time). So the doc told me that they were going to give me steroids and do an amneo to make sure that the 2 of you had healthy lungs. Whatever I said, can I EAT? So for my last meal I chose none other than a bacon cheeseburger. WELL WELL WELL I was up all night with HORRIBLE heartburn and could no longer drink anything in case of surgery. After getting the results back which showed you 2 were ALL GOOD- you were PULLED out of my big ole BELLY at 9:44 (TESS) and 9:45 (TEEGAN) in the morning. You guys were PERFECT and you both latched on right away. You were born on a friday and we brought you home that sunday. And then the ADVENTURE began, Boy oh Boy it has been a GOOD one!

TEEGAN you are my sweet boy with a HUGE imagination. I would say right now you average about 3 dress-up outfits a day. You are always building or creating something. You LOVE your sisters and cousins but I THINK most of all you LOVE your MOMMY. You are such a cuddle bug-when you want to be-and have such a tender heart-I LOVE the way you look at me with that half smile. Now you are 5 and I don't know where the time has gone - the future holds so much for you and GOD has a perfect plan for your life-Love you BUDDY!

TESSA you are my TENDER girl who would be happy sitting on the couch sniffing her blanket all day. You LOVE to dance and watch movies- if I let you you would watch movies ALL DAY! You are so even tempered and easy to get along with. You love your stuffed animals and not so much your baby dolls. I LOVE how you can't wait to feed COPPER every morning. What an AWESOME helper you always are. Now you are 5 and ready for REAL school, I will cherish our days together forever and I can see already your loving heart for JESUS. Oh girlie I LOVE YOU!

My goodness you guys have brought many tears and laughter into this home and I am so GLAD I get to be your MAMA!
