Lean on Me

Micah is so happy that Levi has a shoulder to lean on!

Really, they are sleeping much better since Angela has put them together.

April Snow!

This morning we woke up to 2-3" of wet "packy" snow and it was still coming down. Not knowing how long it would last, we suited up right after we ate breakfast.

Elianna wanted to make a snowman. Selah wanted to make a ....giraffe??

I guess when you're 2 you think you can do anything.

The girls ended up with two snowman. Elianna actually did the little one by herself. All I did was put the middle on top of the bottom.

I couldn't resist this photo op of my last crocus.

Last Day at the Hospital

Frog & Toad
The White Swan Theater put on a play

up on the 8th floor of the hospital.
I brought the girls and they LOVED it.

Levi and Micah going Home!!

This is the only picture I took of the boys leaving the hospital. Hopefully Angela will post some of hers. It was truly quite a parade with both boys, both girls, both grandmas and Angela!

Elianna's New Princess Bike

Elianna's 4th Birthday

Angela made the corral of pony cupcakes including grass (mini cupcakes), hay (potato sticks) and manure (chocolate covered raisins).

Birthdays Before

Selah Had a Little Lamb

Selah had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb,

(Really he was on loan to the Hands On Museum)

Selah had a little lamb,whose fleece was white as snow.

His name was "Little Joe"

And everywhere that Selah went,

Selah went, Selah went,

and everywhere that Selah went,

the lamb was sure to go.

(Chase her was more like it.)

It followed her to school one day
school one day, school one day,
It followed her to school one day,
which was against the rules.
(Well, into the gift shop)

It made the children laugh and play,

laugh and play,
laugh and play,

it made the children laugh and play
to see a lamb at school.
(Elianna actually was able to pet him.)

"Why does the lamb love Selah so?"

Love Selah so? Love Selah so?

"Why does the lamb love Selah so,"

the eager children cry.

(I think it liked Selah best

because she was closest to him in size.)

University of Michigan Boys!

Happy mom of twins! This is the first photo of both of them together.

Micah is in the mostly blue & gold cap.

Levi is in the mostly gold & blue cap.

The NICU nurses were kind enough to propose and then find the complimenting hats for this photo op.

Holding!!!

It is so exciting being able to hold the boys. Yesterday, I held Levi for about an hour and today I held Micah. This is a big step for them even though it's limited to parents & grandparents at this time.

I'm holding Micah in both of these pictures. Does my shirt clash or what?

Sisters meeting Brothers

Both girls were very eager to meet their new brothers.

This was their first glimpse of brother Micah.

Elianna checking out Levi.

She was very curious about his belly button.
