Home Sweet Home

We are home! We stayed over night with the girls Saturday night at the hospital and were then discharged on Sunday. Everyone is doing well. The girls continue to prove how stronge and healthy they are and Landon and Liam are such sweet big brothers. Kevin and I are tired, but not too bad.............yet:) It is so awesome not having to go back and forth to the hospital and to be able to take care of Kallie and Klaire with out any cords attached to them! They were 4 pounds 13 ounces (Klaire) and 4 pounds 8 ounces (Kallie) on Saturday night and will be three weeks old tomorrow. Our hopeful due date would have been tomorrow too....36 weeks....but God answered our prayers for healthy babies and we are just so thankful. The boys got to see the girls for the first time on Saturday night when we roomed-in and it was priceless....the babies were finally real to them!!
