21 Weeks

The girls are now 21 weeks and we just took our first family vacation. We went to Florida for Molly and Emma to meet my grandparents who are very dear to my heart, and for them to see their Aunt Marsha again and to meet their cousins. We really had a great time. Below are some of my favorites from this past week.


Emma and Molly on their 21 Week Birthday!:)

 

My cousin Ashley took some family pictures of us while we were down there. You can view them and many more pictures of our vacation under the Vacation album of their pictures link.

 

Aunt Marsha was so gracious to let us stay in her home for the week.

 

4 Generations

Molly and her Great Grandma whom we named her after :)

 

Emma and her Great Grandpa. My mom was named after her dad, and I after mine, so we named Emma after her daddy. His middle name is Emory so we figured Emma was the equivalent of that:)

 

My Big Girls. 5 months already!

 

Emma and her cousin Mady. How sweet!

 

That's right Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a thumb sucker! I catch her (Molly)doing this all the time! Sometimes she will even have her little fingers curved around her nose!

 

We got to have dinner with our cousins Paul and Cheryl and their 2 sons. We had such a nice time. Cheryl bought Emma and Molly their 1st pair of shoes!

 

The girls 1st time on the beach and in a swim suit! Love it :)

 

My Happy Little Molly :)

 

I love this picture of Emma. Sweet Girl!

 

We really had a wonderful time while we were there. Sunday we went to church with my family and My Aunt was very excited about letting everyone meet our girls. She sings in their choir and wanted us to get to church a little early so she could take us to the choir room for everyone to meet Molly and Emma. Little did I know that the choir was well over 60 People. We walk in and everyone is practicing their song, the choir Director stops the music and tells everyone that he wanted to introduce to them someone they all had been praying for, and then they introduced my sweet girls and everyone gave them a round of applause.

For a second I wanted to cry, because it is overwhelming to me that so many faces I had never even seen before had been lifting MY girls up by name in prayer. And for me to come face to face with many of these strangers is quite a blessing. It feels great to be able to see the faces of so many people that asked God to save my babies.

Its hard to believe that these girls have been in my life for 5 months already. Time goes by so fast, and every day I am still amazed at the goodness of our God. I look at them and just want to pinch myself because I cant beleive that they are REALLY here, they are TRULY healthy, there is TWO of them, and they are MINE.

I would have never thought in a million years that I would one day be the Mommy of twin girls who happen to be sent to me straight from the hand of God.

Happy 5 months baby girls! Mommy loves you more than you will ever know!
