Happy Birthday DH - wishing years of happiness to come. Love you!

Now there are 6...

I know you're thinking I'm a total slacker with my posts. You're probably thinking I've totally flaked on the Real Simple dinners and have completely just abandoned my posts.

NOT TRUE!!  

I first want to apologize if this is coming to you by way of blog and not personally, you will soon understand why. Side note: I think I should write to Real Simple and tell them that doing their month of meals increases the population. Wonder how they would take that?

Our family was faced with a life altering decision a couple weeks ago. We made the decision,  hence the life altering! We were presented a placement "off the record" - it was doosie of a placement to think about. We thought about it and agreed to get sore information. Well....the information we gained was baby #1 was ready to come home! You're probably say to yourself; #1?

We were presented with a match of TWINS!!! Baby #1 GIRL (YES A GIRL!!)! Baby #2 BOY! Holly goodness for the love - OMG!!We were "officially" presented, we went back and forth and gathered more and more information until we said yes!

Abigail Yvonne came home to us on 11/1/2013. Abigail and Evan Michael were born 09/30/2013. They were born early and spent time growing and growing in the NICU before they were/are ready to come home. 

Evan is still not ready but we've had the pleasure of spending time with him, feeding him, changing and learning all about it. We hope he will be home in the next couple week (hopefully before turkey day).

A few stats: Abigail is now nearly 6 1/2 lbs and Evan is 5 1/2 lbs. They are growing and doing very well. All around Docs. are very pleased and don't foresee any complications.

Year of the Pirate!

Or Pirate of the Year?

We had an amazing birthday weekend with Noah, complete with a special visit from GrAnna and Grandpa Darrel! We had a pirate party, pinata, a day of playing, first group swim lesson, lots of bike riding, cake, ice cream, movies and snuggles!
