From Kristin: “Having twins makes giving as much physical contact as babies sometimes need very challenging! Luckily, my girls adapted, as did I. Here’s one peaceful moment amidst the chaos for me. I was watching my oldest play in the yard.”
Kristin blogs at Intrepid Murmurings.


From Stephanie: “No more kisses, Mommy!”

    Very nice pictures – brings back memories! My boys are 6 and 9. They grow up so fast! My youngest doesn’t even want to hold my hand when we cross the street – “not cool mom!”

    I really love all of these. I especially like that you included a photo with an older child – it’s not just the littlest ones who need that nurturing touch!
