The boys first photo shoot




This was super fun! It's hard enough to get one baby to take a good pic, two was just about impossible!

Char-char



Matt and his mom, Charlotte hold the babies.

The twins and their cousin Zachary


Or as I like to call them
small ......
medium .....and
SUPER-SIZED!!
Four months is a BIG
difference in this family!

All the grandkids


This is Christy's mom and dad with all the grandchildren. Imagine, they went from 2 grandkids to 5 in a 6 month period. It is going to be crazy at our house this Christmas!

Home at last


They look like Mutt and Jeff

On their way home

The boys in their carseats on their way home for the first time.

My favorite picture


The Best brother and sister ever!

Snug as two bugs in a rug

Here they are, hopefully they will stay this sweet.

Twins 1st Doctor visit

This is the first visit the twins had with their pediatrician, Dr Steiglefest.

Every body meeting the boys











Here are Pictures of everyone holding the babies.

Here are the boys




Here they are
...Patrick Keith came at 2:49 am, he weighed 7 lb 1 oz. and was 19 and a half inches long. Jacob Matthew came at 3:24 am and weighed 5 lbs 12 oz and 18 inches long. Jacob is the first pictue, Patrick is the second.

On our way to the Operating Room


Mom and Dad just made it in time for me to deliver.
Even though we were planning for a vaginal delivery, but with twins the always deliver in the Operating Room so that the docs can prepare for anything. It was a good thing that they did because after Patrick was born, Jacob was up too high and his heartbeat started to slow down. Instead of taking any chances they took Jacob by C-section. So I got the best of both worlds! Ha Ha Ha. It's not important, I got both of my wishes. I have my two healthy boys and THEY ARE OUT!!!

Waiting for the boys


This is a picture of Victoria. She sacked out in the room at about 8:30 watching "SpongeBob". Of course, if you ask her, this is the picture of her staying up all night waiting for the twins.

Finally the day arrives...


Finally after months of waiting (and the last few weeks weeks of abject misery!) The doctor admitted me Wednesday Aug 27 in the afternoon to induce because of elevated blood pressure. I think I heard the hallelujah choir. So I called mom and dad and they jumped in the car to TN.

Bigger and bigger and bigger and.....


This is me at week 35. Now you know why I cried when the doctor told me he will not induce until 38 and a half weeks.

Our New House


Here it is.....Our new house in Tennessee! After miles and miles, boxes and boxes, and One BIG U-haul, we are finally here. Now all we have to do is get unpacked and settled before the boys get here.

Beach Time







We made it out for a short time to the beach in June. Zachary got to go on his first beach trip and Mawmaw and Pawpaw were in hog heaven with all their grandkids at the beach. Christy was out there too but no chance of seeing pics of this big girl in a bathing suit!

Caleb's Graduation




This year Matt's step-brother Caleb graduated from high school. Pictured here are John, Leslie and Caleb, and Caleb, Matt, Christy and the twins....Can you say BIG MOMMA!!! After the graduation there was a graduation party at John and Leslie's house. Congrats CB!




These pictures are from the Resident's Dinner at the Rotunda at UVA....Pretty swanky. The big group of people are all the people from his "class" in Internal Medicine. The other is a picture of Matt and the statue of Thomas J. This finished out our three years at UVA

Graduation







Also this weekend was my Graduation, here are the only pics we got of it. That's what happens when you give Joseph the camera and tell him to take pictures...he forgets to take them!
