The babies turned one today! I can't believe an entire year has come and gone. Our village showed up and out for the boys. I found a village here in Charlotte so they we're loved on here by their new aunties and in St. Louis where our friends and family showed so much support. I originally planned to actually get dressed and presentable for their party but....motherhood happened and I had no time for myself once the boys and everything was set up. So I kept it real in my stay at home mom fashions. Anyway....
Waji is completely healed and thriving. So much so that he has the more commanding personality. Tife is my shadow and cuddle bug. Moving here with no help was HARD, but we figured it out. Bola is husband and daddy of the year. Having the right teammate made all the difference. As the boys learn and grow so do we. I've definitely had some days where I just look at the boys and wonder what the hell I've gotten myself into. Most days I look at them in awe and still can't believe they're here.
I know people say having children changes you. I feel like it changed my life, but not me. I still feel like me at the core. Now mentally I have my days and physically I still feel like I got hit by a truck, but I'm working on that one day at a time. I think when you have children in your 30's you've pretty much established who you are so children just enhance your level of gratitude and growth giving you daily opportunities to put into practice all those life lessons you've been storing up while continuously learning new ones.
Anyway, we literally would not have made it without the village. It's crazy how God always and effortlessly puts the right people in your life at the right time. Even in all the chaos of everything that's happened, life just kept moving and things just continue to work out. Charlotte has been good to us and we'll definitely miss it here. However, it's time to move on to our final destination. Dallas, here we come!
