Our Visitors

There's nothing more humbling than a dear friend creating a blog FOR you! (Thanks, Yibideth!)

Life with twins is anything but boring. Those who have come to visit have said, "It's triage at your house!"; "It's like the church nursery all of the time"; and "This is like 4x the work of one baby." The old sage advice to "sleep when the baby sleeps" doesn't happen with twins because they're rarely asleep at the same time. We're exhausted, but we wouldn't trade it for anything.

In an attempt to "catch up" these last 13 weeks, we're posting photos of our visitors (well, at least those of whom we took photos) holding our sweet Grace and Chance. We're very blessed that these people came to see us, some helping out for SEVERAL days. Thank you, all.

Living with Grace!

This is Grace with Gigi, one of the many wonderful family and friends who have helped out.

Doesn't she look content?

A happy Chance!

Our Daddy's Goofy!!

The headband was a shower gift to a friend for her husband Rob. He was kind enough to wear it when his daughter was born. It seemed only fitting that Eric should suffer as well. Of course, Rob didn't have Eric's groovy t-shirt!

For J.J.

I know you're a bit overwhelmed right now. You just brought home two perfectly beautiful babies. You're feeling a little better after the C-section and now you get to bond with the wee ones. Have fun!! You only get to do this once. You may not do things the way other people would but you get to do it your way. They're your babies! You get to kiss and cuddle them to your hearts content.

I thought I'd start this for you. You don't need to contribute but I know you'll be sending me pictures over the next few months and I know how overwhelming it can be to try to get the right pictures to the right people. I thought that maybe you could take over when you have some spare time, like maybe when the twins are 15 and you've finished your PhD.

I'm so happy for you and can't wait to meet Chance and Grace!

Love,

Yib
