Happy Birthday

Over nine years ago my daughter called me at work and said.
"Mom are you sitting down?"
I remember asking her why I should be and
she told me she was expecting not one but two babies. 
I could not believe it.
Our miracle babies were born the day before Valentines day 2004. 
Two little hearts beating together.
Two little identical girls one weighed 4.6 and the other weighed 4.10 both 18 inches long.
Hannah got to stay in the room with mommy while Alexis had to spend some time in the neonatal room.

One year old
They have been totally fun to watch.
I remember the day at our house they hugged and hugged each other and said to me,
"grandma we are likey's". Yes little ones you will always be... likeys'.
Today they are nine.
Happy birthday little likey girls.
You are a joy to be around.
I remember we were talking on Sunday when I gave them their birthday presents.
The topic was about college and Hannah said,
"when I go to college I am not going to room with her. All my life I have spent with her and I need a change."
I just laughed and laughed. All your life... A whole nine years.
It has been a comedy over and over to see the two of them play and grow.
We love them and we are so blessed to have our miracle babies.
Happy Birthday Hannah and Alexis praying  your day is wonderful.

What a blessing! I love the thought of the girls being together forever and one of them sensing she needs her own space. At nine years old! So funny!

How lovely, they are so cute! My 'baby blue' was born 15 years ago, the day after Valentines Day. He was long awaited and it was touch and go when he was about to be born, but he arrived, revived and then all systems go! Take care. Chel
