Bathtime is fun

Aunt Liz came to visit

Aunt Liz came to visit and she was really fun... She jumped on in and changed diapers, prepared bottles and even took the kids on tours of the garden so that they could smell the different herbs & flowers!


She keeps on saying that she wants to take a baby home with her, she just can't decide which one...

Max's big day (the bris)

Grandma Jane with Max.















Grandpa Bob with Zadie.












We spent a lot of time just staring in wonder at what we had created.













Max's Big Day...the bris. Dr. Veltman performed the 'snip', Grandma's job was to dip her finger in wine and let Max suck on it, Grandpa held Max's hand, and Nick Sencer held Max steady while the deed was done. We were all amazed that Max didn't even cry....his mom cried enough for both of them.

An enormous belly just minutes before...








Zadie arrives first at 11:30am, screaming so loud she could be heard down the hall!

It's a boy AND a girl!

On April 23, 2005 we found out via ultrasound that we were having a boy AND a girl. We were very pleased!












The pregnancy progressed...I didn't plan very well - a twin pregnancy culminating during the hottest months of summer wasn't really the best idea.











I eventually ran out of clothes, even Paul's shirts wouldn't fit. I borrowed a XXL shirt from a friend. Every meal I dropped food on my enormous belly.
















August 2005, 1 month to go, I found refuge in water, the only place I could feel comfortable.
