::Spoiled::

This weekend we feel like we were so spoiled! We got to hold not 1, but 2 of the sweetest babies!

Welcome to the world Addie



Welcome home Avery




I didn't want to tell anyone at the time, but I almost cried when I held each of them for the first time. Maybe its because I just learned all about the pre-natal period and how babies grow and develop during pregnancy in Anatomy class, or maybe I'm just emotional, or maybe its because I just feel their sweet completely pure spirits! For lack of a better phrase, we are "seriously so blessed" to have such sweet and healthy little nieces, and to get to spend time with them! We love them both so much!

Thank you, thank you, for these pictures!! I got up for an early meeting, but just had to check my email for pictures (none), then checked S&E's blog (none), then I checked yours!! I was so excited to "meet" Addie! I had to run to my meeting, but as soon as I got home I wanted to write and tell you thank you! Like you, I always cry when I hold one of the grandkids for the first time - perhaps because they are a part of me (the bond of instant love is so strong and joyous), but also like you said - that sweet new, pure spirit is so strong! It is so lovely and pure joy to cuddle them and look into their sweet faces!
Congrats Auntie Taryn and Uncle Brady (double)! Please tell Ryan and Stephanie how happy we are for them!
Love,
mom

You are seriously so blessed! Those are really really cute babies and It's fun I think to have them on both sides! We don't have any little babies on either sides of our families and therefore get togethers suck. jk. The older babies are fun too. I just love when they are so little and they have no choice but to let you hold them and snuggle them.

What a sweet auntie you are, Taryn!! I'm the same way about crying with newborns. I don't know what it is either...it doesn't take much to make me cry tho. You're so sweet to love these little babies so much and understand how pure and close to their heavenly father they were not too long ago. ;)

You guys are lucky to have such cute little nieces to spoil! I'm so happy to hear that Ryan and Stephanie alas get to have their sweet Avery home with them! Thanks for posting these pictures especially Addie pics since we won't get to see her yet :(
I'm happy to hear that most females cry when they hold a new born baby- I do too :)
