Practicing for our 1 year photo shoot!

It is hard enough to get one baby to sit still for a photo much less two. Since we plan to have some professional photos taken at one year I thought a little practice at posing together wouldn't hurt. Here are a few of the better photos!

Pictures and more pictures! - aren't they so cute!

Three months together

It is amazing how after only three months together we can't imagine life without our beautiful daughters. Alot of work - sure. Worth every second of it - you bet. Stella and Eva are doing fabulous. They amaze us with new tricks and developments almost daily. They have captured the hearts of about three generations of family members and are thriving. The doctors told us they couldn't be more pleased with their progress. We had our first post placement visit from the social worker yesterday and she too was very well pleased. God is showering us with many blessings and these two precious ones are by far the biggest! Here are a few new photos - enjoy! Thanks for checking in. Brenda

Stella

Stella's surgery was a huge success. She is such a champ and did just beautifully before, during and after the surgery. She won the hearts of all the hospital staff. I mean she was the smartest, cutest, most personable babe on the floor! We only had to spend 3 nights and other than being a touch spoiled she is good as gold.

Both girls are making incredible strides in their development. It amazes us each day to watch them advance. To think that just 4 weeks ago we were holding them laying in our arms like little babies. Now they are up and busy. We are so in love. Thanks for checking in and for the prayers during the surgery. God was good and answered them all!

Home 3 weeks

The past three weeks have been very busy, light on sleep and the absolute best three weeks of our entire lives. Having Stella and Eva a part of our family has been incredible. Each morning we look at each other in disbelief as to how much they have grown since the previous day, marvel at the strength they are gaining and pinch ourselves to make sure we aren't dreaming. God's blessing as usual has greatly exceeded our expectations. As of this past Thursday Eva weighed 13 pounds 10 ounces and Stella 13 pounds 6 ounces. Up 3.5 pounds for Eva and 3 pounds for Stella in 3.5 weeks. They are very happy, very vocal, very playful babies.

Next Tuesday Stella and Mommie will check into Vanderbilt Children's Hospital for surgery on Wednesday. While it is only a 2 hour surgery they want her there before and after due to her age and size. We feel that we are in very capable hands and know that God has already worked so many miracles in this precious baby's life that he totally has her in is hands. Your prayers are greatly appreciated. For Mommie and Daddy as well as Stella:) Well my time is pretty limited these days so I will post some photos and log off. We'll try to update when we return home from the hospital.

Many blessings,

Vince and Brenda
