Luke and I were thrilled to discover that we were once again expecting, but we were rather surprised to find out we'd be having not one, but two babies! Our twin boys, Grant Luke and Cade O'Brien, came into the world on June 24th. Grant was born at 5:36 PM, weighing 6 pounds, 10 ounces; 18 3/4 inches long, and was followed by Cade at 5:58 PM, weighing 6 pounds, 7 ounces; 18 3/4 inches long. The boys are mirror images of each other with hazel eyes, like their daddy, and light brown hair, like me.
We had no problem agreeing on their names. Grant and Cade have been favorites of mine for years, and we found that Luke also liked them. As for their middle names, we agreed that one boy would have Luke's name as his middle name and the other would have O'Brien, my maiden name, as his. All in all, we just thought that Grant Luke and Cade O'Brien had the best sounding flow to them.
Ellie Grace is thrilled to finally have her brothers at home. When we told her she was going to be a big sister, she was incredibly excited since her best friend, Hannah, also has a baby brother. She loved it when Hannah's mom brought the baby over, and we knew she'd be a wonderful sister from the start. She was on cloud nine when she figured out that she had two brothers, instead of one, and she loves to tell everyone that she's a big sister. When company comes over, she considers it her "job" to show off the babies.
Ellie is an amazing little girl who never ceases to amaze us. She loves being in preschool, which we enrolled her in after she celebrated her third birthday. She couldn't wait to start school, and now that she's there, she loves every minute of it. She loves bringing home her art projects and putting them on the refrigerator :) Needless to say, our house always seems to have her little drawings somewhere, including the ones that she makes for the boys. Ellie's vocabulary has grown immensely, and it seems that she is always talking. She's still rather shy around people she doesn't know well, but watch out...once you get her going, she won't stop! She loves to tell us all about her day at school and her friends. She has also started reading a few words here and there and loves for us to read stories to her.
We've also found that Ellie loves figure skating. When she saw the Winter Olympics on television, she said she wanted to skate "like them". So, we decided to give it a try and enroll her in the toddler lessons. She is learning quickly and is quite a natural on the ice. It's so much fun to see her face light up when she's skating around. She's still the little girl with the sunshiney personality and the smile to go with it. She adores Grant and Cade, and when she's not playing with them or helping me with something, she can typically be found in her room, playing dress up, house with her dolls and Care Bears, or school. She says when she grows up she wants to be an ice skater, a teacher, and a mommy.
