Jenna said...: SOOOO cute. And did they get bangs? Their hair looks extra cute.
Oh, and the word verification was "bless" which made me happy because I feel very blessed to be able to keep in touch with my kindergarten teacher.; October 29, 2011 at 6:25 PM
Rydley said...: Wow, a whole family! That is a lot of effort! We've been pretty lame about our decorations this year and have mainly done pumpkins. (That the squirrels have already eaten.) Nice work!; October 29, 2011 at 10:13 PM
Mama Hen said...: This is wonderful! We had snow last night and have no power. I guess we will be making snowmen! :) I hope you are doing well! Have a great day!

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 : )
