Idaho! Here We Go....

This past week I was blessed to visit my cousin, Sarah, at her new home in Idaho, along with her sister, Jess, and spend it with both of their 2 month old girls. Going from no babies to two babies in one house, who are only 11 days apart was quite the adjustment, but I loved every minute of it! 
Though catching two babies while they were both having a good moment was rare, we were able to gather them, and the forty pounds of things that come along with them, enough to get out of the house a few times.We visited the Shoshone Falls, the waterfall that gave Twin Falls it's name. 
But we spent the majority of our visit at home holding, cuddling and playing with the reasons we all came together, the two newest additions to our family; Aubrey and Addison. 
Very few things can put life into perspective the way a new baby can, let alone two! There are no words to describe the feelings you have when they wrap their chubby little hands around your finger while they're laughing or fall asleep snuggled in your arms. I am so blessed to have such a close relationship with my cousins, and that I'm able to share this exciting time, and new chapter in both of their lives.
 Our week was filled with long talks, all day marathons of Parenthood, laughing at the crazy situations that came up everyday, baking and consuming a ridiculous amount of cookies, and all the duties that come with babies. I am so grateful to have spent the week with these two beautiful new mommies and cannot wait to see them again this summer!

"From the fullness of His grace we have received one blessing after another."
