On Friday, December 10th, we welcomed our dear twins Graham Michael (on the right) and Margaret Evelyn (on the left). The babies were very healthy, both weighing in at over 7 pounds. We are all doing well, back home now, and getting into the swing of things with two babies to love and care for.
The frequency of Trina's posts may be low over the next weeks. She'll be back in touch in due time. She misses all of you, and is looking forward to sharing scenes of this wondrous new chapter in our lives.
All the best,
Mike

What beautiful babies! Congratulations - my heart is overflowing with happiness for you two and your darling children. You were on my hearts all day yesterday and I wondered if the babies had arrived. They are such precious gifts from Heaven to your hearts. You will have bundles of fun as they grow. Take care of yourselves - we will be patiently waiting to see more of your family but we all know how these days go. You need time to get acquainted with each other and begin the amazing journey ahead. Give them oodles of hugs and take every minute you can with them.

Congratulations to both of you!
