Our Latest Miracles!

This post is long overdue. At the beginning of last month (April 9th to be exact) we were told that there was twin baby girls five days old needing a home, a mom, and a dad. We were asked if we would be interested in filling those roles? That was a silly question, I have been waiting for these little spirits my whole life! We waited for five days to find out if we would be the lucky ones chosen to raise these two miracles. Those days were filled with emotional roller coasters, little sleep, and deep cleanings of the house at wee hours of the night. It was down right painful waiting by the phone! On April 13th we got the good news and on April 14th Justin and I held them in our arms for the first time.
Words can not describe the immediate feelings of joy and peace we have had! What has surprised me the most however is my natural motherhood instincts I have been given. I feel like I know these little girls better than anyone else and can take of them like no one else. These are OUR babies! We have named them Madelyn Paige and Makayla Noel. We don't think they are identical and can tell them apart especially when they are side by side. Madelyn has a birth mark between a couple of her toes that we use as a cheat-peak sometimes. We are SO in love! I feel like I now know the true meaning to the word exhaustion!
Here are some random picture of our little monkeys....


Makayla sleeping like Daddy!


Madelyn always lets us know when she is hungry when she starts to suck on anything near her face. :-)

Makayla with her new hair pretty----thanks Ashley!


Walking Madelyn to the kitchen sink for her bath......she decided (as obvious by my greasy hair) that Mama was overdue for a bath as well!
