The Stork Has Landed!!!

Our darling little angels have come to earth!

Aubrey Louise and Claire Susan were born on New Year's Eve, just in time to ring in the new year with their extremely proud and amazed parents!

I will post a more detailed version of their birth story later, but I went in to the doctor's on the 31st for a check-up and they said we needed to deliver that day! Three hours later, I had my babies in my arms. We delivered via c-section; Aubrey came in to the world wide-eyed and crying at 2:07 pm weighing 4lbs, 2oz. Her sister kicked her way out of the womb one minute later at 2:08 pm and weighed 5lbs even.

Due to Aubrey's size, she is still in the NICU growing and learning how to feed. She is doing so well, and we hope and pray she won't be separated from us for much longer. She looks just like her daddy, with big beautiful eyes and a china-doll delicate face.

Claire is now home breaking in mommy and daddy, and completely filling our home with joy and peace. She has the cutest little button nose and pouty lips. We are hoping to be able to reunite her with her sister in the next day or two - as she wasn't able to visit the NICU when in the hospital.

We are overflowing with thankfulness most of all, so blessed to be able to be parents to these two. Lord, simply saying thank you doesn't seem like enough! But thank you, thank you! We see Your amazing hand in every part of these girls!
