5 months old and living it up
It seems hard to believe, but the twins are already 5 months old! While I was downloading the below pics, it suddenly dawned on me that, in 5 short months, the idea that the twins being "the twins" has gone from strange and amazing to being a "normal" piece of the life fabric. Likewise, it is now completely normal to think of Scott and Laura as parents. That is not to say that the amazement has warn off. What I am referring to is the sense of normalcy surrounding their existence that was not present less than six months ago. Our minds are constantly making adjustments and redefining our understanding of reality. Our perceptions and understanding are liquid, so that new additions eventually become integrated pieces of a new, different whole. Life as it was before is subsequently discarded as an outdated "ordinary", and a new normal woven in its place.
Where was I going with that? Probably nowhere cohesive, so here are the aforementioned pictures. I defy you to look at these pictures and NOT smile! :)

Simply adorable.
I must say, they are the cutest babies ever...the guy holding them in the picture isn't so bad either :) :)
What's really hard to believe is that they will be 6 months old in about 10 days!!! I can't get over how fast the time goes, next thing I know I'll be planning their first birthday!
You should be proud Laura. As the mystery poster noted above, they're frigging adorable! :) It is amazing to think that they are already 6 months old...time is racing by.
