Room with a view

One advantage to having the trees down next door is our new view from our bedroom window. This is sunrise over downtown. . .God's masterpiece.

Homecoming

Samantha's first bath.

Audrey's first bath - she wasn't happy.

Birthday cupcakes in honor of Samantha and Audrey. Annika and Lauren made them with Grandma's help.

Annika and Lauren were so excited to have their little sisters home. They rocked the car seats, sang and read stories.

Suddenly our minivan seems very "mini."

Lauren and Olivia are guarding the babies.

Audrey's praying hands.

Grandpa and Grandma with 3 of the girls.

All of Daddy's girls.

When we had one child, the homecoming photo shot was such a simple undertaking. This was a "hurry up and take the photo while everyone's in the picture and not crying (nevermind picking your nose, looking away from the camera, and being half in the shade)."

Snugglin' sisters.

Samantha's praying hands.

Aunt Cindy and Uncle Mark sent Big Sister t-shirts for Annika and Lauren. They wore them proudly.

Happy Birthday, Audrey and Samantha!

Grandpa, Grandma, Annika and Lauren wave good-bye as Mommy and Daddy head to the hospital.

"Every good and perfect gift is from above". . .Thank you Lord for 2 healthy, beautiful baby girls!

Audrey weighed in at 7#8oz, 21.5 inches. Samantha weighed in at 6#14oz, 20.5 inches.

Annika and Lauren are very proud big sisters.
