Max and Ella, Weeks One~Three

I can't believe Max and Ella have been with us for three weeks. They are changing every day. I am changing every day. Maxwell is our patient, curious boy. He is constantly making different expressions and seems to always be listening to everything around him. He already cooes and smiles to himself. Sweet Ella is a bundle of personality. She let's us know what she wants and when she wants it...NOW. She is tiny like a doll but strong and independent. Yet when she gets herself worked up, she loves to be held close and cuddled. As I write this I am overwhelmed that I am writing about my children. I am the Mom. I am their Mom. I am falling in love with Mike in an even deeper way as I watch him with our babies. Michael and Maegann love them and all of the sudden- our family of four is now a family of six. We are blessed.

I have so much I want to say...and no time to say it. Although our lives are incredibly blessed, it seems I only have time for feeding. feeding. and feeding. Max and Ella are perfect. I can't even believe how much we love them. Please be patient with me as I am slow to return phone calls but know that your congratulations are much appreciated. I hope to write their birth story soon. At 36 weeks we are thrilled that they were healthy enough to come home with us. In the meantime, welcome Maxwell and Ella. I plan to post more pictures soon~These pictures courtesy of Uncle Louie, Reflections Photography.
