Aunt Beth with Nikolas and Amelia at 10 days old

Nikolas and Amelia in person

Wow, these two babies are even cuter in person!! They are so small compared to my 9 lb 9 oz baby Emma who is now 6. I have gotten to change and feed Amelia and hold Nikolas too. They sleep a lot and seem to be perfectly happy to go right back to sleep in their crib together when they have finished eating. They don't always like being changed, though Amelia was good for me. Kate and Ron are doing great too -- though tired of course.

The twins have arrived!!

My sister Kate had her twins via C-section (Nikolas was breech) yesterday afternoon. Here are some photos of the babies and proud parents. Nikolas is the one with no cap or the stripped cap, and Amelia is in the yellow cap. The other folks are the proud parents, my sister Kate and my brother-in-law Ron.All are doing very well and expect to come home on Sunday. I am excited to be the Aunt of twins and am going up to visit and help next weekend. Emma is thrilled to have a second and third cousin and she and I are planning a visit over President's weekend in February when she has a couple of days off from school. Enjoy the photos.~Beth
