We're HOME!!
Wow - we are home and so incredibly in love with our two sweet baby boys. I could cry just looking at them; they are so sweet!! Everyone is doing great...sleeping great, eating great, giggling lots...and in Luke's case, growling a lot. He has a cute little growl that he does. We call him the Baby Tiger. I say, "Oh my, what a big growl from such a sweet little thing" and he just laughs and laughs. It is adorable. So we've got The Giggler and The Growler. LOL!
Sam is doing pretty well. He has decided that his brother is "okay." They decided to hold hands at lunch today!! Of course, I say "gentle" and "share" about a million times a day. Here are a few pics that I finally took at lunch today. Check out Sam's face in the second pic!! Too funny! I think of you all on your journey often. You are always in my thoughts and in my heart.

The Growler is just like his brother - a complete HONEY BEAR! June 4, 2009- Julian "Jude" Thomas born. He is the sweetest of hearts. Oh, how I love my boys so! Our children are not ours because they share our genes...they are ours because we have had the audacity to envision them and hope for them. That, at the end of the day...or long sleepless night, is how love really works. - Unknown I LOVE MY SWEET SONS!!! Last edited by jules17 : 09-21-2007 at 07:13 AM.
