"Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you; and ye shall bear record of me, even Jesus Christ, that I am the Son of the living God, that I was, that I am, and that I am to come."
Doctrine and Covenants 68:6

Week 2 of babies lives, first week with no help - yikes!

At this point of my blog, prepare to be inundated with millions of pictures of adorable children. :) I'll try to hold back a little. This is just a funny picture of the babies sleeping side by side in their cradle as well as Audrianne's shirt being pulled down over her shoulders by her squirming. I thought it was adorable.

These sweethearts really do love being close to each other.
They do look a bit alike

We have so many good friends here in New Jersey! I appreciate the many tokens of love and friendship we have received over this past year. This was a particularly special moment - a friend and her two teen daughters brought a gift over specifically for Abi. It had several wrapped things for her to open and she LOVED it! She even sang Happy Birthday to herself. Even now (in April) she points to things that were part of this gift and says the names of the girls who gave it to her. That is success!

I love just sitting around holding my babies! That is my very favorite thing in the whole world!
We aren't tired!



Audrianne - tiny fingers

Hyrum - tiny fingers

Audrianne - pretty eyes

Audrianne - sleepy baby

How long will I be able to hold them both in my lap?

Hyrum - Love these eyes!


She seems so huge now!

First fight... over the pacifier

They are such tiny, adorable burritos!

My living room is full as is my heart!

Our sister-in-law Summer came to help us for the third week which was an answer to prayers for multiple reasons. Turns out caring for twins is really hard so having the extra help is nearly mandatory in the beginning but she also has some mad skill with a camera and was able to help us by taking some great photos of the family and the babies. We love her and are so grateful for her help! While she was here, James and Abi took her to NYC for the day. Just imagine the germs happening in the following pictures. Haha! You gotta love toddlers!
We can thank Pixar for this moment
