Eight Years Ago.......

on 3/16/02 we got to meet our bundles of JOY (not double trouble like soooo many liked to point out)! Terry had known the gender of the babies since our 4mth ultrasound...and never let it slip!! After a full day of doing odd jobs around the house, contractions started at 4:00pm and we went to the hospital at 7:00pm and they arrived within 45 minutes! Trevor fell in love with sisters immediately and made sure that everyone knew which baby was which. I will never forget his first comment when he got to see them for the first time.....Terry & I were each holding a baby and Trevor walked in, looked around and said...."But where is MY baby?" Gma Mickey came to the rescue by bringing him his own baby to hold.

Now, eight years later, Trevor still loves his sisters....there just seems to be a hard time showing it now and then! There is NO DOUBT about who is who when anyone sees Emily and Erin. They are certainly their own person and we will forever love them for who they are --- Emily preferring to be with an animal and Erin preferring to be with her crochet hooks and yarn balls!

Girls...Daddy and I are so proud of you for who you are - don't ever try to become someone that you are not! Happy Birthday, Emily! Happy Birthday, Erin! (To borrow Erin's saying....we love you as much as our little hearts can hold!)

Emily and Erin snuggled together for the 1st few months...and still enjoy the special treat of sleeping together!
