Surrounded by boys.....and Ms.B

Welcome to my blog. I've called it 'A House of Hawes' as I am completely surrounded by Hawes' people, a scary (albeit fun) thought at times. Even the dogs have that last name registered. We've decided to go the blog route instead of our website so we can keep things updated easier as the 'Will and Nate' story continues....what a story it's turning out to be!

1st Birthday!!

Well, Will and Nate's first birthday has come and gone. It was a great weekend with lots of fun, friends and cake to be had. Dave and I are still shocked that we survived our first year of 'twin-mania' and we really can't believe that one whole year has gone by. That being said, it is almost hard to remember life before Will and Nate. Although we do remember the amount of sleep and rest we used to get.....we remember that very, very well. However, they make all of the sleep deprivation, lack of time to eat anything slowly, and never leaving the house with a clean outfit worth it. I never thought it was possible to eat so many peanut butter sandwiches in one year... Hope you enjoy the birthday pics (of course, I didn't have my camera snapping away when many of our great friends stopped by for a visit so I don't have many pictures of that)...

The start of the birthday week begins - Nate is all Hawes' in this pic
