Birthday Boys

Three years ago yesterday on July 8, 2006 at 12:57 and 12:58pm, L&L came into this world! I'd like to say it was the best day of my life but with not getting to see my babies till the next day and in so damn much pain, it was not the greatest day of my life. Yesterday was much better!

I sent the kids to daycare until 1:15pm which gave me the morning to start cleaning for their party. Then Grandma and I took them to the LC Zoo which is closer to where we live than the far away one that I took them to last week.

At 1:15 when our car pulled up, my guys came running out the door wearing these hats, all excited it was their birthday! My dc lady gave them these cool birthday hats...

We rode a different train at this zoo which was very relaxing. Lk was a little apprehensive so once again he kept one hand on my leg and one on Grandma's.

Here Lk is in the middle of saying "Cheese!"

A little frightened as we passed through a short tunnel...

At the zoo we saw reindeer. Pardon my ignorance but I didn't know this was a real animal. WOW, they were pretty cool.

Some huge toroises also...

A crocodile...

At the gift shop, Grandma bought them each pinwheels which they love.

After dinner, they started pounding their spoons on their trays demanding cake.

Their cake...

They dug right in!

Once we started opening presents, I let Lm open his airplane first. After that though, he didn't care about any of the other gifts so his brother and I had to unwrap the rest...

My guys had no nap. Therefore they were totally exhausted at 8pm when I put them to bed, instead of the usual arguing and whining when it's light outside. They both just dropped right off to sleep! My sweeties...

They're sure a lot bigger than when I first saw them in NICU...
