nice to meet you

Beautiful Maxwell on his first day

8 months of pregnancy, four weeks of bed rest, and 17 states across the country later: my sister has brought two absolute miracles into the world. The story is full of exciting twists and turns... but finally, finally, finally we all get to meet you two on the outside! Just days before our friends P and A came over for Celeste's first photo shoot outside (real grass!) since bed rest with our mom, JoAnn:


Our mom was scheduled to go back to Massachusetts on Friday afternoon, but those grandkids were having nothing of it. Celeste delivered baby A punctually Friday morning at 15 past midnight. Baby B came close behind at 12:16 a.m. With prayers and tears of joy all around them the boys were here on lucky 08.08.08!

Sweet Maxwell, the same day

We are all taking pictures when we aren't cuddling with them, so there is plenty more to come. As preemies, they're doing great- breathing on their own and growing every day. Celeste, of course, will have more info pouring in on her blog. I had my first opportunity after work last night to hold Maxwell and it was an absolute joy. Actually... what am I doing blogging~ off for another visit! :)
