Papa Pish

Ella, our champion sleeper, goes through a complete stretching routine every time she wakes up. She spends at least few minutes in the pose below before she opens her eyes.

This is Noah with his buddy Isaac who is about 8 months old. We always thought that Isaac looked small...until he was side by side with Noah.

Twins v. 32 oz Nalgene

Some friends asked that we take a picture of the babes next to a standard size object. So, here are the twins with a 32 oz Nalgene bottle --they are about 2 weeks old.

More pics of the twins

Noah is on the left and Ella is on the right -they are about 1 week old in this shot.

Babies so small...

As of right now, the babies 'fit' in one outfit each --their gnome sleepers. We tried to put them in preemie clothes and the torso size is right, but the length is about 4 inches too short. The ones that they are wearing below are the size that comes before 0-3 months and you can see that they are swimming in them. ..and Ella is trying out to be one of the Pointer Sisters.

They Arrived!

We have a new family members! Please join us in welcoming Ella Faith and Noah James!

On January 8, 2008, Ella entered into the world at 3:26 PM. She was followed quickly thereafter by her brother Noah at 3:43 PM. Noah weighed in at 5 lb. 12 oz, beating out his sister by 2 oz. He also was slightly taller, measuring 19.5 in. vs. Ella's 18.5 in. In terms of hair, Ella had her brother beat, sporting a full head of dark hair.
