The last one!

Ok--this is the last summer-time Christmas post! But I just had to include these pics.



These are the letters that I had made for the babies' nursery.

Their ornaments

I started an ornament tradition last Christmas for the babies. Each year we will have them put a personalized ornament on our tree. Then one day they will be able to have all the ornaments they have put on the tree. We did this for Tony and Matt and now they have all their ornaments from their first Christmas until they left home and got married.


This is blurry, but at least you can kinda see what they looked like.

Christmas--in June!!

Well, not really Christmas in June--but since I am trying to keep these posts in order by dates, it is time for Christmas pics!! This is the day that Tony, Susan and the babies first got to our house during the holidays.

Tony bringing Jonah into the house.

Jon bringing Claire into the house.
A delighted Aunt KK holding the babies for the first time.
A very happy Uncle Matt seeing the babies for the first time.
The best Christmas presents under the tree EVER!

The teeny, tiny babies

It is still so amazing to look back at these pics and see just how tiny they were. Especially Jonah, since he is such a chunk now!!

This pic looks like Jonah is thinking--oh, Claire,would you please be quiet!

What precious little babies--then and now.
