Happy Birthday!!!

Turns out the twins weren't 10 months old when we picked them up from the hospital--they were turning 1 on February 28th! With our special guests in town last week, we decided to throw them a birthday party on Friday. Most of the kids from house 2 came to help celebrate along with 2 kids from house 1.

Twins!!!

Today we picked up 10 month old twin girls from the hospital. We are so excited about the two new additions to our home. We don't know much about them, except they were removed from their parents for neglect and have been living in the hospital for the past 2 months. K was born with cleft lip and pallet. She has had one surgery already to repair the lip and will have another in about a month. Both girls are full of energy and love to smile...




















Welcome Home!!! Tia Pauline made a great welcome home banner...


















We got to visit them in the hospital yesterday
