Ice Skating

They've been wanting to ....

They've been waiting ....

They finally went .....

ICE-SKATING!!!!

Presenting:

Zoe the ICE-SKATING Queen ....

..... Ella the ICE-SKATING Queen ....

.... and their dorky, very caring, very protective Dad.

Both girls did awesome.

It didn't take long for Zoe to cruise around the rink like a miniature kamikaze.

Ella too, but she preferred using the walker.

I had so much fun just watching ....

..... but I think these two had even more fun!!

Rydley said...: I'm impressed you got them to use the walkers! My girls didn't want anything to do with them and just preferred to fall down a lot.

Looks like they did awesome!; February 23, 2011 at 9:01 AM

The Beginning of the Adventure . . .

After trying and waiting for a long time, June 26th 2006 was the estimated due date of Baby A and Baby B. We were thrilled. But a little over 10 weeks early our doctor decided it was time for us to meet the babies. On Wednesday, April 19th at 6:49 pm, Ella Marie was born. We named her after Tom’s mom, Della Marie, and her name means 'Light'. She weighed 2 pounds 14 ounces, was 16 inches long and was perfect. At 6:51 pm, Zoë Dianne was born. We named her after my mom, Dianne, and her name means ‘Life’. She weighed 3 pounds 5 ounces, was also 16 inches long and was perfect too.

Both girls stayed in the NICU for almost 2 months and did really well, especially considering all of the 'what could have/should have beens'. It was a 'one step forward two steps backwards' type of dance those first few weeks, but after 47 days we brought Zoe home and 10 days later brought Ella home. FINALLY, we were all four under the same roof, and were ready to start the next exciting chapter in our lives . . .

Ella and Zoe turned FIVE this April and are THRIVING. They are fun, funny, naughty and sweet. The joy they bring to our lives is immeasurable. They are also really fun to take pictures of : )
