According to the pathology report of their placenta, Elsa and Lily are identical twins. Mark and I have suspected this to be true. However, sometimes we were doubtful because their personalities and facial expressions are so different.



This is not the most flattering baby picture. However, you can really see similarities between the two. Note the hairline, eyes, hands, etc. Elsa on the left has a thinner face, more hair and makes lots of goofy faces. Lily has a fuller face and less hair.


They both use their hands a lot. Here is Lily looking surprised.

Picture with Grandma and Grandpa on the last day of their visit. We are very sad to see them go home. They spoiled us with lots of baby holding and good food! In fact, Grandpa P loaded our freezer with lots of meals to eat when we are two tired to cook.

Our babies are cute even when they cry . . .

Elsa makes the saddest cry faces ever.


This is Lily showing what we call the full on tomato. The red is not a trick of the camera.


Here's a picture of our family at six weeks out. A little worse for wear, note the baby puke on mom's sweater and dad's facial hair. But, we are loving every minute.
