Seems like only last year when the twins were celebrating a birthday, and here we have arrived at another – their 12th, bringing them just shy of teenage wasteland by a year. Time has been progressing rather quickly, and these last few years have brought about major changes in Emi and Noah, so much so that if we go more than a few weeks without seeing them they seem like new people. Such is the transitory nature of youth.
On this date, I always think back to the rainy day they came into this world – two tiny bundles of tightly-wrapped life, defenseless and little and in need of all sorts of sustenance. It’s a far cry from the two almost-young-adults who inch ever-closer to independence with each passing day. There’s something slightly sad about how fast it goes by, and something celebratory as well.
Happy Birthday to Noah and Emi – here’s to another year of fun adventures with Uncle Al and Uncle Andy!
