Easter Decorations and Colorful Eggs ~

We still have rainbow birthday stuff up, and we have Easter stuff up too --- our little house is very decorated.

The girls think their little bunny ornaments are so sweet .....

.... and they thought it was great to decorate branches with Easter ornaments ....

They LOOOOOVED dying eggs ......

.... and both girls ....

.... did a super job!!

Ella's expression in the photo cracked me up.

After they checked ....

.... and rechecked, to make sure the eggs were the colors they wanted ....

.... we were all very pleased with the final results!!

Looking forward to seeing what the Easter Bunny leaves tonight and celebrating Easter in Buffalo with the McLain side of our family tomorrow. Happy Easter Eve!!

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 : )
