Brandon & Aubrey Come Home!!

It's official, we now have 3 midgets at home!! On Monday we got the call that the twins were eating much better and will probably be home by the end of the week. They called back an hour later and told us to bring the car seats and be ready to bring them home within 24 hours... Yikes, we weren't quite ready for that! Mia was a huge help in bringing them home and now we are all safely settled in at home. The picture above was us departing the NICU! Note the oversized children in those car seats... Heee heeee!


Happy Birthday Daddy!

For Daddy's 38th Birthday, we went to dinner with Uncle Ryan & Aunt Cathy at Chelsea's Kitchen! Mia was an absolute blast... They give out wax string for the kids to play with, so Mia & Daddy made spectacles to improve our vision! Then, after dinner, Mia was feeling antsy. So Daddy & Mia went outside for a bit and Mia asked Daddy to dance... We actually slow danced in the front lawn of the restaurant, complete with a dip & a kiss at the end! The best birthday ever...


Easter with the Cousins!

For Easter we drove down Tucson for a few hours to visit Grammy & Papa and see Mia's cousins, along with Aunt Caren & Uncle Pat. It's amazing to see how much fun Mia has with her cousins, and how crazy she gets playing with them! She sure has no fear interjecting herself into the mix... Then, on Monday, they drove up to meet Brandon & Aubrey. As you can see by the picture, Mia was very proud so show offer her little siblings...


Big Sissy!

It really is amazing how well Mia is doing with this whole transition... Towards the end of their hospital stay, she was asking if she could go see her brother & sister! Then, as we were dressing them for their trip home yesterday, Brandon started crying. Mia, unprompted, pulled up a chair, climbed up, leaned into the crib and whispered, "It's ok Brandon, Daddy's here!". Wow, the kid is just too sweet!! When we got home, she helped us get them situated and then asked if she could hold Aubrey after Mommy fed her. The picture above is her cuddling with her new sister! I guess we should expect this kind of behavior as she's shown us how incredible and unique she is at every turn...
