After two years of marriage, I got pregnant, and everyone was so happy for us. Little did we know it would be twin girls! They're now turning four this year, and they're polar opposites yet also the best of friends.

EunAe, the older twin, is more outgoing and adventurous, a tomboy on most days; she takes after her father more, like her love of cats and photography. EunMi, the younger, was very shy and quiet, definitely more reserved than her rambunctious sister, and loves dogs and flowers and dresses, almost as much as she loved naps. Hongbin always says she's more like me, but I don't quite see it.

Hongbin and I weren't like the perfect parents you see on TV, that hold their kids for the first time and instantly know what to do. No, we made quite some mistakes, but trial and error is the best way to learn in life.

Today, we had some news to break... again. "Jeez Hongbin, we wouldn't be in this situation if you could just keep your hand off me," I joked.

"Oh shut up, I didn't hear you complain either~" here we go again, behaving worse than our own kids do.

"How do we tell the twins about this?" I asked him.

"Well, we could just say you're getting fat... OW!"

I didn't hold back on that smack, because I wasn't just going to lie to my daughters. "Are you embarrassed of your own unborn son?" I hid my face and began to make sounds as if I was sobbing.

"Oh no, honey, that's not what I meant at all, come here," Hongbin hugged me and rubbed my back, thinking I was really crying.

"Sucker~" I said and laughed into his neck. "Ah!" He suddenly picked me up and spun me around. He know I hate when he does that! "You think I didn't know? I just wanted to hug you," he grinned sheepishly. "I wouldn't be ashamed of telling anyone in the world how much I love you and our little family."

"Even both of our dogs and our cat?" I implored.

"Even if they peed on my mom's favorite rug," he replied, laughing.

"I love you, Hongbin." I nuzzled his neck then kissed him.

"And I love you too, Leslie." And he kissed back.



"because I could watch you for a single minute,

and find a thousand things that I love about you"
