Flashback Friday: One, two, FREE

In three days our twin boys will be 3 years old. I thought this week I'd take a look back at when each of our girls turned three. It is a bittersweet age for us. It is when parenting really starts, when routine and consequences must be firmly in place, when daycare sounds appealing. Just kidding about that last part, but the months leading up to three and just after have historically been tough as our children fight for independence and control over something in this great big world.

Madelyn turned three a month after we moved to our current home. We were on a 'country living' kick. She loved playing in the mud and chasing rabbits around the yard in her underpants.
When Catherine and Chloe turned three we were living in Texas. After watching Wiggles way too many times (I was trying to get my act together after having a second set of twins), the girls begged us to take them to the beach. So, for their birthday we headed to South Padre Island. We had a blast! Check out Catherine's curls.
Chloe loved digging in the sand.Here's to three! We can't wait to see what adventures await our nearly three-year-old boys. Actually, we'd like to wait but times marches on nonetheless.
