birthday party ~

it still trips me out when i look back at photos of the girls

the first few days they were alive.

preemies are pretty darn tough babies, despite being

itty-bitty babies.

zoe dianne ~ april 19th 2013 (SEVEN years old)

at 6:51pm -- the exact time she entered our world,

didn't make any sounds for what seemed like minutes 

but was probably less than 1 minute, then finally

meowed like a little kitty, and made our dreams

continue to come true:

birthday girls at their science museum birthday party:

with their science teacher and first guest,
sweet friend grace:

the support team : )

super fun party -- hands-on science experiments galore,
all led by a trained teacher who even did the clean-up : )

love this picture : )

grama's undies still the best gift each year .......

i wonder what their bday wishes were .....  mine for them
continue to come true, each day.

xxoo seven year old girls!!
