Tyce and Shay,
On your first birthday I wrote you both a letter that I put in your baby book and also recently posted to your blog. (Tycen's letter: http://haijtwins.blogspot.com/2009/09/test.html; Shaylie's letter: http://haijtwins.blogspot.com/2009/09/letter-from-mommy.html). This year, for your second birthday, I came up with acronyms using your names and some of my favorite Bible verses. Over the years, these verses have given me strength when I have needed strength, courage when I've needed courage, wisdom when I've lacked understanding and joy that has filled my heart. My prayer is that some day you will also accept Christ into your hearts and hear the Lord speak to you through His word. Here is just a glimpse of his love and promises for you, my sweethearts. I hope you enjoy this special gift.
I love you with all my heart,
Mommy
