Baby Lucy and Baby Colin

So about a year ago I received a text from my cousin Gaelen.  The text had a photo of the two of us together (me about 9 months pregnant with my little guy).  The text said, "Who would've thought that these two kids would one day have two kids of their own?"  I reread the text about three times and then consulted with my husband on what exactly it meant.  Could it be that my cousin Gaelen was pregnant?  Wait, she said two kids.... NO WAY, TWINS???!!!!  I immediately called her back and she was beyond excited to share the news that her and her husband Tim were indeed expecting twins or "The Twinkies" as we nick named them.  And so the long journey of pregnancy publicly began for Tim and Gaelen.  From the start Gaelen was up to speed on what the twins needed from her and what she needed to be doing for herself to ensure a healthy pregnancy.  I marveled at the amount of water she would consume through out the day.  She had one goal, get those twins as close to the full term as possible.  And she did AMAZING!!  I know at the end it was rough but I had no doubt that once she set her eyes on the prize she would accomplish it.   Hats off to you Gaelen because I think I would have given up about month 7.....  The twinkies arrived on April 3rd 2013.  Both were healthy and mom did great with the support of her husband Tim.   I am so happy for them and I know our entire family is so happy to welcome Lucy and Colin to our crazy family.  So without further delay let me introduce the twinkies, nuggets or better now known and Lucy and Colin!

Here is Lucy!!!  Taking a sweet little nap in her crib.  This was the first time I met her and couldn't get over the amount of hair this tiny little baby had!

Another sweet image of such a precious angel!

Little brother Colin was up next for some quick photos while he napped so peacefully.  I love watching newborns sleep. There is something so calming about it.

Almost looks like he is smiling in this image.  

Now that is a definite grin with Daddy!!  Its moments like this that you just want to remember forever but unless you capture it with a photo its very easy to forget as they get bigger.

Tim has dived into all the duties that go along with newborns flawlessly.  Gaelen and Tim make a fantastic team!  I remember telling Gaelen early in the pregnancy, "As long as you both act as a team you will survive the early months."

Ok this photo makes me smile because in my mind Colin is telling Lucy a joke by the expressions on their faces!

No words for this except LOVE!

What girl doesn't look good in purple?

Look at this cuteness!!!  Just can't handle it!!!

I swear it looks like Colin is telling another joke!  Love it!

One last photo of newborn twin sweetness!  We wanted so badly to get a photo of them holding hands but with all the attempts this is the closest we got and to me its perfect!

Congrats again to Tim and Gaelen!  You made some beautiful babies!!!
