A visit with great grandma

Yesterday we visited Grandma Mur (or Gigi) at her new home. The girls ran around like crazy (until Irelyn fell and skidded her knee). And Gigi had fun watching them.

Easter Bunny


Yes, I purchased a flash drive with the Easter Bunny picture on it. No, they did not actually upload the picture to the flash drive. Am I mad, yes. So, this is a picture of a picture. Was the experience as bad as it looks...ahhhhh...worse.

Julie

Have I ever told you about my amazing friend Julie?
Well, Julie is not only a spectacular teacher, but also an amazing photographer. She doesn't think she is...but I know it. She takes the absolute best pictures. I could never ask for more.
I was just thinking of all the wonderful pictures she has taken for us in the past couple of years...
In no particular order (and missing tons of others)








































I wish Julie could see how good she really is. She thinks her pictures come out okay. Uh...they are more than okay! I know you can see it too! :)
Thank you for everything Julie! You definitely have a talent to share!

March 17

Ahh, March 17th.....
The day we like to call, "Together again for the first time."
March 17, 2008 Miley was released from the Nicu (finally!). It was such a wonderful homecoming because Miley and Irelyn actually were able to "meet" each other for the first time since I had been pregnant. They had never been near each other in the Nicu. I had no idea what to expect. I had no idea how I would handle twins, let alone preemie twins. But, it was an amazing day. One we will never forget!

Ready to go home!

Proud parents

It is a funny thing. When we got home from the Nicu with Miley, Irelyn was in the pack-n-play. So, we put Miley right beside her and didn't know what to expect. They were drawn to each other like magnets. Squirmed right up beside each other. The cutest thing...really.
First time near each other- automatically drawn to each other

Later that evening

How I found them the very next morning

Later the next day

They just couldn't get enough of each other!! It just melts my heart!!!!

We will celebrate this day every year. We got them each a book to celebrate today. Excuse the grainy pics, my camera is acting up.


Mom wants us to cooperate and take a nice pic...yea right :)


And, I know, I know, I just blogged about this....
We are very lucky that Miley and Irelyn have done so incredibly well being born at 29 weeks. But, babies should not be born this early. No one...parent or baby should have to live the Nicu experience. March of Dimes is a wonderful organization that does everything they can to ensure that all babies are born healthy. Please help to sponsor me. There is a link at the side of my blog that you can click to donate. Any donation can help save babies!
