We just love Ms. Zachari so much.

The girls have taken ballet with her since they were three and in her Baby Ballet class. In a few weeks they start Kinder-Ballet and are super excited. I am too : )

Mama Hen said...: Oh goodness is that cute! It is wonderful that they love dancing so much. I did also when I was little. I still do. Thank you so much for the lovely cards the girls made for my daughter. We went to the post office today and my daughter was so happy when she opened it. She kept looking at the pictures in the car saying I love these pictures. I asked her if she would like to write back to the girls and she said yes. Perhaps they can be pen pals. Thank you! Have a great night!

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 : )
