On Wednesday, August 19th we welcomed two new members to our family--Kathryn Paige and Norah Grace. (They are being called Katie and Norah.) Katie weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz. at birth, and Norah weighed 5 lbs. 6 oz. Their amazing mother worked a full day on Tuesday....in fact, she stayed extra to make sure that she had everything covered for the time she would be off with the girls.
Here Katie and Norah are with their parents Michelle and Stephen and big brother Garrett.
How nice that we each have a baby to cuddle. Here Tom is holding Katie and I'm holding Norah.

Here's Garrett getting to know his sisters.
On Saturday Michelle and the babies got to go home. Here are a couple of photos from the past few days.

Their baby samplers are now with my framers. I hope to show them to you soon.
We are truly blessed by the birth of these two sweethearts.I'm titling their birth samplers "A Gift from Heaven Above" because that is what I believe they are.

Dear Ellen,
What a blessing you and Tom have. Your family is lovely and growing strong. My guess is Mom and Dad are going to have to run to keep up with them all. Garrett is going to love having two younger sister, not only now, but when they are older. I know my brother's loved having me in their lives, especially my girlfriends as they got older.
My best wishes to you and the entire family.

Oh, Ellen, they are just so precious! Congratulations to the entire family :)
So very precious, these little gifts...its going to be a whirlwind of activity in the next months and years...but a bigger gift from heaven couldn't be wished for! I believe one looks more like Mommy and the other like Daddy? It appears so, and that is how our twins were as well. :)
CONGRATULATIONS! I'm praying for Mom and Dad and the whole family!
Best blog post that I have read today, What beautiful baby girls and so very exciting! Brother Garrett is adorable. I have a DS named Garrett, born 8/10/87 ~ just got married last month. BEST KID EVER!

Congratulations on your Precious Blessings♥They are beautiful indeed~!
I am very interested in your "Kindred Spirits" kit. I see you just finished a clinic in Seattle; too bad I found out too late.
Unsure of any places in Oregon that offer clinics such as yours; Is there a place where I can order it?
I would love to participate .
Thank you,
