The Biggest and Best Christmas Gift ....

The BUNNIES!!!

Meet Ruby Blue ....

.... and Stormy Rose ~

Also known as 'The Babies' ....

The newest members of our family have more than doubled their size since we first got them, and now are at their adult weight, which is about 3 pounds each.

They are just the sweetest and we love them both so much. They are litter box trained (for the most part) and love to be held, cuddled, swaddled and are even tolerant of being dressed up in the girls' old preemie clothes.

I now am a crazy rabbit lady -- I go on and on about how sweet Stormy and Ruby are, and go a bit crazy with how darn cute they are.

Love, love, love these bunnies!!!

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 : )
