Adoption Announcement for the Twins
Hi everyone,
This may be a bit off-topic, but I wanted to share that I have used a fabulous company called Purple Stork for my adoption announcements and wanted to share the link for the proof - I think they came out amazingly wonderful. They are incredibly responsive and will make the layout for you when you send in photos. Check out the proof: Edited to remove Retail URL Anyway, this also serves to let everyone know that the twins are HOME!!! We are doing OK, settling into a routine and getting to know and trust each other. We have struggled at times - I can't figure out whether I prefer them double-teaming me or tag-teaming - but we are making it. They are so patient with me as I make all of my new mommy mistakes, and no matter how rough a night we have together, they smile at me the next morning. And we laugh every day. What could be better than the giggles of two sweet boys??? Thanks again to everyone for all the great advice and support! And to those who are waiting - hang in there - it WILL happen!!!
