Looking Back… the rest of day one

The babies are sleeping… for a few more minutes.  The middle kiddos are at school…for a few more minutes.  I’m sort of supervising some independent work for Joanna…for a few more minutes.  So I’d better blog!  I love having the blog to look back on, but I’m so behind!

My sister and her friend Tawna (both NICU nurses) were in town the week before the boys were born and thankfully got to see them before they had to drive back.

Kathryn was in a happy place holding her twin nephews.

Rev. Ellen, the children’s minister at the church, stopped by on her hospital rounds and got to hold a boy or two.

My big kids showed up while she was there.

It was love at first sight for Joanna.

James may have been overwhelmed by the whole mess.  :)

Natalie loved them right off as well.

Sweet girl came up for some Momma snuggles.

James fell in love with Thomas right away but wouldn’t claim Michael as his brother.  He kept saying “Thomas is my brother (or my best friend), and Michael is not my brother (best friend).”  He was pretty adamant about it!  I’m happy to report that it didn’t take too long for him to love and accept them both.

Awesome big sibs!  (Thomas is in the pic)

Aunt Christiana stopped by after work to see the new babes.  I love James here – he’s bossing somebody around.

After this picture was taken Kathryn said she felt a little guilty she got a picture with all the kiddos before I did!

Can you believe I have five children?

The next veeeery many pictures are me snuggling my boys.  Couldn’t decide which ones to blog, and since it’s MY blog, I can post the lot!

This was me in the hospital.  Two babies asleep or nursing all the time. (Michael right; Thomas left as you’re looking at me)

Lisa got to stop by in the evening to snuggle some babies.

Aunt Mindy and Aunt Missy and Mamma and Pop all got to come by to meet the newest Pences.

Good snuggles were had by all!

One bassinet really was just big enough to hold our two giant newborn twins.  Yay for big ol’ healthy boys!
