Well, the babies are asleep in the middle of the day and I am not holding either of them! This is a small, but significant miracle. I've already had enough time during this nap to start a load of dishes and a load of laundry, pick up all the trash that accumulated during packing last night, and now I have some extra time to write a blog post! Let's just hope the babies sleep long enough for me to finish it.

The last few days, I've been getting a lot more sleep at night and, therefore, have been able to enjoy my babies a lot more during the day. Yesterday, I looked at them and realized just how amazing babies are. Just a few months ago, they didn't exist. Then, they were tiny little shrimp looking things that didn't even resemble humans. Over only nine months, those little shrimpy things grew into full grown babies, with skin and muscle and bones and arms and legs and fingers and toes and eyes and noses and ears. And all of this happened inside my body. Honestly, I just can't get over it.

Well, Micah is awake, so I guess a "life update" will have to wait for tomorrow, but for today, I'm just marveling at the brilliance of the way God created us.
