They are 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we are getting ready to celebrate "the twins" birthdays this weekend....can you believe that!!! it's been 3 years already!!!! and thank the Lord we've made it thus far!!!! anything is better than that first year.......ugg.......it exhausts me thinking about it!

anyway, here are just a couple of snapshots to share how tiny weeny N&S were!!! they were both exactly 4 lbs 6 oz when we came home from the hospital. VERY yellow when they came home, but healthy! i'll never forget, wrapping them both in bili-blankets for jaundice, and they both fit into ONE bouncy seat!!! what a sight that was!!! and i didn't even get a picture of it!!! oh well......it's very vivid in MY mind! if you'll notice in the above picture, olivia still looks like a bit of baby too.......she was feeding her baby by a bottle.......but it wasn't long after that she only fed her baby by lifting up her shirt! typical for a big sister!!!

i know not everyone will enjoy these pics like me, but it's always fun to look back!!! i'm just thankful i'm not in that stage anymore!!! or at least with 2 in that stage!!!!! while this mathematically doesn't make sense, having infant twins isn't just double the work........it's TRULY about 4x the work of one baby. and no one who hasn't experienced twins will ever understand how that's possible.......but trust me.....it is.










About Me

well....where do i begin?? i have never done a "blog" before, and don't know if this is even for me. but a few friends, and one very persistant sister-in-law(esther)really encouraged me to start some sort of "blog" or any place online, to share photos i have taken. so i thought, what the heck!? most everyone knows that photography has been a hobby of mine for a few years now. so with lots of practice, lots of failing, lots of reading and googling, i feel like little by little i'm getting a little better all the time. and part of the reason for getting better, is because of the famous gina..... whom EVERYONE loves and knows, she has been letting me pick her brain for tips and tricks. also, kris, who i met online after joining a photography forum, who happens to be an awesome wedding phogtographer, she has been a TON of help as well! since i have 3 children, my goal is to be able to truly capture, like a professional can capture, the pure innocence and fun of my children. (and i get it for free!) and, since i have lots of wonderful friends & family, i get to practice on them, too!
