brothers

I never knew a single heart could hold so much love.

Meet my boys...

Gus Allen and Lewis David

They were born on April 17th at 10:52 and 10:53 in the evening. Gus weighed six pounds, three ounces and Louie weighed six pounds, twelve ounces. 

I can't wait to share their birth story with you and give more details about life with these darling boys, but for now, I'll just share a few pictures.

    Not sure how a pair of eyes could stay dry after looking at the picture of the two grandmas seeing their grandbabies for the first time. You give me hope, friend. So, so much hope. Wishing you well (and offering free nanny services if you ever need them--seriously, I am available!)

    Wow, wow, wow! Congrats on your two beautiful BOYS! I love their names... Especially Lewis. That is Matthews middle name (after my sister) and we REALLY wanted to reuse it for Bryson's first name.

    Love, love, love!

    How exciting and absolutely beautiful! Hope babies and mom are well and big sister is adjusting to her new role as big sister. Having given birth to my post-infertility miracle 5 weeks ago, I can certainly say all those endless tears, shots, ultrasounds, co-pays, sleepless nights, and so on were totally worth it.....and for you doubley worth it!

    CONGRATULATIONS, Em! Tears, so many tears from those beautiful photos. My husband did a drive by while I was scrolling and may have gotten teary too... so much emotion and joy caught in those shots. They are beautiful, just beautiful. I love Harriet's face when she's meeting them. Congratulations!

    I read your Facebook post earlier in the week while we were driving to Colorado and remember seeing these pictures and crying to Chris trying to show him while he was driving. Congrats again, friend! Over the moon for you and your family! That picture with the grandmas is priceless.
