thankful!

This thanksgiving we couldn't have been more blessed to have my parents here in b-ham and Sarah, Stephen, and their precious little twins within our home! We had so much fun loving on babies, introducing graham to other babies- hopefully getting him a little ready for Ellie (we'll see!)! Our sweet family came to us this Thanksgiving since i am not allowed to travel! I loved having everyone here in our house, hearing baby coos, trash cans full of diapers, a kitchen full my favorite faces, lots of laughs, and thankfulness to God as we rejoiced for such much! Graham wasn't quite sure what to think of other babies being here 24/7- if i held a baby grahambo would come running over to be and want me to hold him in the same chair, or position that i was holding one of the twins. Finally after a day or so he warmed up to their little noises, cries, and attention not given to him! This was a little treat f0r us to have so much quality time with Reese and brooks. they are absolutely adorable- and Stephen and Sarah are amazing at keeping them on their schedules, nursing, sleeping, they have got it down!



Here is my long awaited moment with sweet brooks and Reese. I loves watching them cuddle with one another, sleep so closely, and look at one another. So so sweet! Thanksgiving night we got some fun family pictures together- as i watched all these babies being held, and dressed my heart was overflowing with God's true faithfulness. A little more than a year ago we were all praying faithfully for God to bless Stephen and Sarah with babies- and look- he gave them two!

Here is the family of 4 with their sweet little loves! Brooks and Reese are 12 weeks old now and sleeping through the night already! Yes, i did just say they are sleeping through the night- this is amazing to me since i fed graham for a long time- I learned about a new swaddling blanket for all you moms to be- or new moms- that Sarah thinks has been their victory in sleeping through the night. This blanket is called the miracle blanket- they sell them at target, or online...check it out!


We were so thankful to have our house full of family, lots and lots and food, laughter, football, and all! We are so so thankful for the gift of life!













Is this not the cutest thing you're ever seen? Now, it's time to get ready for Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!



Our family of 3, soon to be 4!
