Will and Finn Turn 2!!!

My great friend, Amie, wrote the following poem for her twin boys.  As you read, think about a young mom, who happens to sound a bit lit Drew Berrymore,  and the struggles/adventures a mama has with little ones...

take 2 and call me in the morning

not 1

but 2

always 2

2 babies into 2 boys

2 years to mark the passage of the days

you've grown up and out 

and i have grown in 

to a mother

2 ways to show

your love and to show your displeasure

we dance and laugh

you read and write

and eat all of your dinner

and watch with bright blue eyes

the world around you

and the other

your head with less hair fits perfectly

into the corner of my neck 

the way you stomp your feet

when you are pleased

and say nigh nigh when the

day is done

makes me want 

to do it all over again

we are good and bad

moments i wish i could pick up and put

into a box

to take out later

later i will laugh

because now i am mad and busy and preoccupied

with getting through the day

such is the way with 2

but 2 is better than 1

there is no other way

for me

but with 2

i love you both in 

ways i cannot say

i am you and you are me and

i need you and you need me and

i am a mother for 2 years today

and i am blessed

happy 

birthday 

boys

Check out one of Amie's super cool tables.  She and her mom have a booth at Midland Arts and Antiques...they're superbad...like the kind of decorators that people should hire!


I love the "stealer" in this picture :o)


Amie's laugh is contagious!
