On this day last year....

.....I was finally released from the hospital after 10 days! PHEW!!

I dressed my 9 day old twins in their going home outfits...said goodbye to my nurses...and got to come home! HOME!! YiPpEe!!!

It was the boys first car ride and I remember crying as we were leaving the parking lot of the hospital because I couldn't believe I was finally getting to bring my babies home....let alone couldn't believe that these people were allowing me to take them. I think I was happy and freaking out a little at the same time. I hadn't had a minute alone with them since their birth and it was hard to fathom that Brian and I were flying solo as their parents from that day forward. EEK!

We got home and introduced them to their fur-sisters, Mayzie and Gerdie. I can't believe how small they were! What a difference a year makes!!

Wow! Doesnt time change things fast. I never understood how people say Kids grow up so fast until I watched my own zoom through their first year!

They sure were tiny hu? I remember feeling the same way about going solo when we brought Spencer home from the hospital, but I thought it was just because I was only his Foster to Adopt Mother at the time.

They were SO tiny!! Do you ever tell them to slow down or stop growing so fast? Thats what I say. My hubby says GROW GROW GROW!

Oh, we have the same seats. weird. (although you don't use yours any more:))

Isn't it amazing to look back at them a year ago? How is it possible that time is going so fast! Look how little they look, Mayzie and Gerdie are like giants next to them :). What cute little peanuts!
