"My beautiful babies are teenagers today!!" Lopez captioned the video. "OMG!! I can’t believe it’s been 13 years since I carried them both home in my arms in the middle of a snowstorm. Out of that blizzard came two perfect lil’ coconuts who rearranged my life and taught me the true meaning of love. It has been the most magical journey full of adventure and joy ever since..."
"I’m feeling so many emotions this morning...so very emotional today... so proud and happy and heartbroken that I can’t freeze time," Lopez continued. "To my two caring, sensitive and special souls...who I know will change and rearrange the world in your own very unique ways...your mama loves you beyond forever.. and ever and ever..."
