Eighteen Months

Emotions are all over the place this month, due to the fact my two youngest are 18 months. Can you believe it? Eighteen months. There are moments during each day that I’m reminded about how I only had a couple more weeks left with their older sister when she was their same age.

It just wasn’t long enough.

But I’m grateful it isn’t as painful this time around as it was with Ledger. I’m still anxious, and after talking with other Angel Mom’s, I think it’s common to feel this way. Hopefully my anxiety will subside when they reach 19 months.

When Ledger reached 14 months, I decided to have pictures taken of him at the same age Preslee’s last set were taken. I knew my kids would grow up, and eventually Preslee’s picture’s will look outdated. I wanted the option of having all my kids’ pictures at the same age. So I scheduled pictures for Can and Cruiz, but life got in the way and we had to put them off for a couple months, but we got them!

The process of getting two toddlers to cooperate wasn’t easy, while I tried to get one to smile, the other was destroying the photographers house… but I’m so happy with how they turned out :) Don’t they look completely different with their long hair? Aw, I’m glad I captured their curls before Pat cut them.

Thank you Kassie Crapo Photography for capturing their personalities so perfectly.

    I love the last collage of all four of their pictures around the same age! So cute! I think they all totally look like siblings although Ledger & Preslee look a LOT alike! The pictures of Cannon & Cruiz turned out so cute - and also! Huge props to you AND the photographer for getting good pictures of two 18 month olds at once...just once at a time is hard enough!

    These all turned out perfect! I ran across a picture of preslee wearing glasses and you made the statement that she looked just like Patrick and it was the cutest picture. Made me happy and sad at the same time. Life was too short for her 😪. But these pics are adorable and I'm glad this time around their age is less sad.

    I love that everyone sees things differently as someone above mentioned how much Preslee and Ledger look alike. I think Ledger looks like you while the other three look like Pat.They are all adorable!!! And I love how girls look more feminine from the time they are born:)

    You have beautiful children. I can only imagine your emotions at their birthdays, Christmas, and the anniversary of Pres' passing. Someone gets my mother in-law a plant every year to mark my sister in-law's passing. It makes me think of and pray for you.

    All four of your babies are gorgeous!! I love seeing a new blog entry and getting to see what these twins are up to. They are about a week older than my son so I love comparing growth and skills. So fun!

Hi, we're the Sullengers! Life turned upside down for us in 2010 when we lost our daughter in an accidental drowning. Since then, we've documented our highs (life with all five of our kids) and our lows (struggles with grief) but amongst everthing we've experienced, we know as long as we hold on to one another we can get through anything that comes our way.
