First Meeting

Our two nieces met their great grandparents yesterday for the first time! What a sweet picture. Maggie is named after our grandmother--she is holding her. I think I see some resemblance! Gigi is holding Meryl, who looks like she is sleeping away!

This will make you smile!

How cute is this???!!!

So here's my prediction:

Meryl, born mere seconds first, being the first born that she is, will be studious, serious, serene, organized and calm...all of those first born qualities. Even her name sounds the part. Maggie May, on the other hand, being the younger of the two, will be free-spirited, creative, fearless, the jokester, and the one who likes to test the boundaries. Even her name fits the part.

Meryl is on the left--look at how her hat is perfectly on her head. She, of course, is wearing the understated yet very vogue brown hat--she sophisticatedly sports it--just like a first-born confident leader. Maggie is on the right. Of course she is wearing the 'louder' lime green hat, also very vogue but a little risky. Notice the flower is a bit rumpled because she just threw it on, more concerned with where she's going than what she's wearing--just like a younger born who marches to the beat of her own drum.

No matter that they're only three days old--their personalities are already bursting forth. At least, we like to think so :)

Meet the M & M Girls!

Yesterday, March 11th, two precious little girls were born, Meryl Laine and Maggie Mae! They are so, so sweet! We were sitting in the waiting room anxiously awaiting their birth. About 11:45 am, lullably music began playing over the intercom system (the hospital plays this everytime a baby is born). We all looked at each other and thought, 'could it be the twins?' The song ended, it got quiet and then another lullaby song began playing over the intercom! So then we knew! Two songs meant two babies!

They are named after all of their great grandmothers. I think the names are beautiful. We are so excited to welcome them into our family! There's a lot of people out here who think they're pretty special! We love these sweet peas!
