Thanks so much ladies!

Ok, I am going to try to attach some pictures. The first one is taken at birth Justin on the right and Ellie on the left. The second one taken this morning. Some difference huh? lol

Wow, I can't even imagine how to summarize. I guess I have to say it has been the toughest yet most rewarding year of my life. These two little babies have gone from tiny infants to active toddlers in the blink of an eye. The progress they have made and the milestones they are reaching so quickly truly amazes me. I had an extremely difficult pregnancy and almost lost Justin and they were both at risk the entire time but they were fighters and wanted to be born and live life, and now I can see why. They are just so determined and full of life. They have brought me and dh much joy and also to our entire extended families.

They had their party this past Sunday. There were about 50 people there. The theme was Baby Seseme Street characters. We catered in food and my father in law, who is a professional baker, made a delicious, beautiful cake. Everything went pretty smoothly and the babies did great. With everyone handling them and no afternoon nap (we did try!) and then to eating cake much better than they eat other foods ( I wonder why lol) they did so well. We were so proud. And now tonight we are off for a 13 hour drive to Kentucky for my sister's wedding this weekend. That will also explain the lame answers, since they are napping or suppose to be and I am suppose to be doing stuff to get ready for our trip. I couldn't leave without posting all this. Hehe Anyway, I am sure there may also be a mini celebration for the folks that could not make it to the party due to the wedding.

Also I just wanted to say thank you to everyone here for all the support you have given me. I really don't know how I would have survived or handled certain situations without all of you. You are a wonderful group of ladies and I wish everyone of you the best with your babies and I am looking forward to seeing you at the 1-5 board.
