4 Years Old!

Well, we made it to 4! We thought the 2s were tough, but man, the 3s kicked our butts! The lady we met on a trip a couple of years ago was so right when she warned us that it's not the "Terrible 2s", it's the "Testy 2s and Terrible 3s"! But, even with it's challenges, we certainly had a wonderful year full of fun adventures and big milestones. Our babies grew into big boys! Super heroes replaced monkeys on their bedroom wall, big beds replaced cribs, big boy underwear replaced diapers, and quiet time replaced naps! They even learned how to swim! I can't imagine what the 4s has in store for us!

Of course, we couldn't let the big day pass without our annual giraffe photo!

But, as usual, it took a lot of patience, bribes, and threats to achieve our one "official" 4yr photo! Here are just a few of our failed attempts...

But, it was worth all the sweat to get this shot of our handsome big boys...

They were super excited to add another mark to the door frame. The difference in their heights is becoming more and more visibly obvious when you see the two of them standing next to each other!
