This is David. We had the twins today. It went very well. We slowly progressed to labor, but when it happened it was fast. From the time, Bonnie's water broke and the babies were borns was less than 40 minutes. When they told Bonnie to push she pushed once and Olivia was born. Paul was breach but did not require a C-section. She had to work a little to get him here, but all in all he came relatively quickly, also. From the time, the doctor told Bonnie to push until they were born was 15 minutes.
The babies were born at 2:55 and 2:58 local time. Olivia Maelee weighs 4 lbs. 14 oz. and Paul Thomas weighs 5 lbs. 4 oz. I am also posting some pictures on the website.
Bonnie is doing great. We were talking about it today and many of our family and friends are responsible for getting our babies here safely thru numerous prayers. Thank you. We appreciate all of your prayers and love all of you.
David

Nora's 4th Birthday Party (6/2008)
A place to have show-n-tell of our "minor" happenings day to day. Both of our families, and lots of close friends are hundreds of miles away - so this is a great way to keep everyone updated and letting them have a front row seat in watching our kids as they grow up! Enjoy, and let us know you stopped by!
Father's Day 2010
Parenting is hard work.
Its hard to be consistent and its hard work to study all there is on helping your children become compassionate adults.
Its hard work to weed out the stuff that is fluff and worthless too.
Its hard work to be an example at all times that is good.
But worth the work!

About me
In 1997, I married my high school sweetheart and kissed my hometown in Kentucky good bye. Now 14 years, and a dozen addresses later (thru five states) – we've found ourselves settling down along the Gulf coast in SE Texas.
We never meant to "get a late start" of making a family, but that was God’s plan for us. Now, in our mid 30’s we are discovering the wonderful world of parenting and are thrilled to be the parents of a 6 year old daughter, and g/b twins that just celebrated their 3rd birthday in June!! What amazing blessings they are – so worth the wait!!!
Of all the things I have accomplished in my life, motherhood ranks at the top of the list! I'm so grateful that God made me a Mommy!
