A Very Merry Christmas!!!





Wow! Christmas came and went for our family. Santa paid our house a visit while we were fast asleep. Miles was thrilled! His fascination with Santa made this year especially fun for us. He handled the craziness of Christmas morning surprisingly well. Santa and the grandparents gave Miles lots of fun things to keep him busy until summer when we can bust out the new camping gear. Look out fellow campers....the noisy family in the next campsite over may be the Ences.

As we look back on the year, we are so grateful to our Heavenly Father for the countless blessing we received. We are also grateful for great family and friends for all of their love and help! Collin and Emery are doing remarkably well. Each is letting their unique personality shine through, and it is so much fun to see them interact with each other. Emery is a charmer! She smiles at just about anyone, and loves to be in the middle of all the action at our house. Collin is ultra affectionate! He is quite shy, and loves a good snuggle. We fondly refer to Collin as our "beef cake". Weighing in at 14 lbs. 1 oz, he loves to eat! Emery weighs 11 lbs. 14 oz! Way to go babies! As for Miles, he keeps us on our toes. There is never a dull moment when he is awake. 2 year olds are a lot of fun!

Pictures!

Ok, so "more pictures soon" I actually meant "in about 5 weeks or so". :)
I wanted to share some pictures, and I'll post more on Facebook - I'm not sure if anyone really follows this blog anymore, but just as a little update and small token of our appreciation, here are some pictures!

GOOD NEWS FROM THE CARDIOLOGIST!!!

Hard to believe time has passed so quickly... but today was the appointment scheduled many weeks ago for the twins to follow up with the cardiologist to check their heart murmurs, see if their PDAs were still present (and if so how large), and determine any further treatment if necessary.

Well, the good news is that the PDAs have closed!!! Yep, both of 'em. Collin and Emery have little hearts that are just as healthy as they should be!!!

I can't really express the depth of my deep, heartfelt gratitude. We have been very blessed. It has been a unique and special experience to pray so much for our little ones, and feel that a miracle has occurred.

The twins weigh 7 lbs 1 oz (Collin) and 6 lbs 12 oz (Emery) and are doing well. They eat well, and are growing very well. We are so happy to have them around.

Now that things have settled a bit, I'm not sure if anyone really follows these updates anymore, but I figure it would be appropriate to post the good news we received today. Thanks to family, friends, neighbors and ward members for continual love and support.

More pictures soon!!!
