2 years ago today...

I went into labor to have these two.They were SO Tiny! Ashlyn was just over 4 lbs. Sara fed me a great meal which really got the ball rolling (I'm not sure what she put in that stuff) and just after midnight we welcomed Andy into the world followed close behind by Ash. I get emotional looking at these pictures. For me, birthing and being a mother to twins was a total whirlwind, overwhelming experience, a task I did not feel capable of being able to handle and yet here we are 2 years later with everyone accounted for, healthy, happy, and doing great.
Who would have ever thought?!

Wow - look at that hair!! I would never have thought seeing how they look now! I love that first picture of Ashlyn - she already looks pretty and girly in that picture. So cute. And they really don't look as tiny as they were! They look so healthy! Way to go guys.
