Two Early Christmas Presents


The twins both made it home in time for Christmas. Eden came home on Wednesday, December 21 and Roman followed a day later. We were so happy to get them both home and put an end to our hospital visits.

The more traditional parenting experience of sleeplessness and confusion is now finally beginning for us as a family. We laugh a lot at our two little miracles who have quickly developed unique personalities. Eden is the silent, tolerant shadow of her mother, rarely making a fuss about anything. Roman, on the other hand, grunts groans and whimpers every waking (and sleeping) moment. He is the one keeping us up at night. He also has conveniently decided to be nocturnal, which adds to the joy of attending to him in the wee hours of the morning. But where he lacks in quietness, he more than compensates with smiles, giving us huge laughing grins all the time. They are alike only in that they are both very cute and they both eat and fill their diapers regularly. We are truly doubly blessed with two beautiful perfect little people and can't imagine life without them.

Trouble arrives home, Eden quickly learns to cover her ears.

"Listen, brother, if you don't settle down and cooperate I'll give you the another round of the backhand."

"Good morning daddy, we are ready for presents."

Grandpa and Grandma (Smith) happy to take a turn.

Ross and Kylene,

Just visited the web site. Just love the pictures and look every day for the "new" news. So glad to hear things are going well and both babies look to be so.......... healthy. I can't get over how much they look alike, at least at this age. I can hardly wait to see them in person.

Hope you had a nice Christmas and I wish you both a very Happy New Year. It will be a year you will never forget, I am sure!!!!!!

Kiss the babies for me and look forward to seeing you when I am permitted.

As Ever...Aunt Debe'
