Referral-iversary

Ok, I was trying to think of a way to combine "referral" and "anniversary" in some unique way, but the best I could come up with was "Referral-iversary". Not very creative, I know, but you'll just have to live with that. :P

Despite my rather lame title, its still a special day! It has been two years today that we recieved our very first pictures of Ayana and Moses. And how different they were too! Scared and confused at 3 months and 17 months, they looked so different from the energetic, mischevious 2 and 3 year olds they have become.

Moses is now talking up a storm, running around, and pretty much terrorizing everyone and everything he comes across, while Ayana is happy, communicating fairly well (she sometimes has trouble coming away from the baby talk.. ie: saying "I want a drink of water please" instead of "Ayana want water". She knows how to do it, but when she gets nervous or tired, or just can't be bothered, she lapses back into baby talk.) and is a beautiful little girl. She even goes to dance class, which she absolutely loves! (which just happens to be taught by my two best friends :P)

Here are a few pictures of them, so you can see how far they've come!
