Cookies Anyone???

She just loves the cooooookies her big sissy made! She says cookies so cute you just want to eat her up!

Very happy little girl, she patiently waited for those cookies to come out of the oven

I guess I forgot to tell her not to talk with her mouth full!!

Wordless Wednesday

Still amazes me at how much they do that is the same, even the little things. Look at the picture closely. God is so good! Have a blessed Wednesday.

Footprints

A few weeks ago we were invited back to the NICU where the twins were born to put their little footprints on the wall. Many babies were born there in the past year and each are asked to come back. We knew this was something we wanted to do for many reasons. The moment our girls were born and sent to the NICU we had to pass this wall, and what a wall it is!! We looked and looked at each baby's footprints and what they weighed when they were born....it was something to hold onto when you look at your babies laying in those isolettes helpless. If you look hard at the footprints of our girls you can see a footprint just below our girls and that baby was born exactly 3 months before our twins and she only weighed 1lb 15oz.. God is truly awesome. The two ladies helping put the footprints on the wall, were two exceptionally wonderful ladies! God sent us some awesome nurses and doctors but I truly believe that he put some special Christian people in our paths at just the right moments. These two ladies are 2 of those special people. I am so thankful for God using them at moments when we needed just that right person to be with us. I am still amazed when I look back at pics of them when they were first born and to look at them now it is just GOD!!

My Precious Loves!

The loves of my life!! Thank you Lord for blessing me so much!

A Little Fan Fun!

Okay before I tell what the post is about I have to tell everyone if they were right or wrong with the previous posts pics. The picture of the girls together the answer is Olivia is on the left and Beatrice on the right. Then the first bath time pic is Olivia and the second is Beatrice.. but boy I will tell you it gets harder some days. Daddy got the picture wrong with the girls in it together, shhh don't tell anyone I told you that though, LOL.

Okay onto this post. I am a HUGE fan of Beverly Lewis and have always loved her books. I have been reading her books for more than 12 years now, possibly longer. I own all her series and the little girls even have her children's series, just not all of them yet. So we were so excited to hear from my sister in law that she would be at the local Lifeway in Asheville this past Friday. Oh my soul we were a bit star struck!! She is so sweet and loved the story about the twins and even wanted to hold one! So we took a picture of my whole gang with her. She was so cute, she had her publisher take a picture of her with the twins and text it to her husband, she has twins in her family herself. I loved it!

Wordless Wednesday

Okay so not totally wordless, aren't they just cute? So can anyone tell who is who?

Look at those cheeks, you could just squeeze them all day!

Are these two picture of the same baby? And if so who? LOL

Adorable!!!

Home..Thankfulness

UPDATE: Those looking for vacation pics and update on our beach excursion it is 2 posts below as I had started it awhile ago.. so scroll down and you will see what fun we had.

We are home, and are very thankful for the Lord bringing Olivia thru this procedure safely. The surgery was a success in that they got in and out safely. But it didn't accomplish what they wanted due to finding a small tissue mass under her pulmonary valve that is blocking the balloon they put in there from tearing the flap properly. So the doctors are hoping (we are praying) that she can make it to between 2-3 years old and then try this again. If it doesn't work then, they will have to do open heart surgery to remove the small tissue so they can then fix the valve. We are praying that we won't have to venture down that road. We are now home and she is doing well. God was good this morning in church we are thankful for such a wonderful pastor and pastors wife. They have been such a blessing to us thru all this, and once again our pastor sat with us while we waited for our little Olivia to come thru the surgery. We discussed many things and had a time of fellowship that is always such a blessing (during which we have all decided Olivia will be the trouble maker out of the two girls) Thank you Preacher and Ms. Vicki!! Thanks to all who have been and continue to pray for our family and these two girls!

Olivia post op..she was a bit loopy

Getting her echo cardiogram done prior to leaving

Resting peacefully

Her little arm was so pitiful, I felt so worried about holding her, but she was a trooper!
