Introducing

SADIE AND WYATT!!

Here's my little niece, Sadie Jane. I wanted to sneak her in my bag and take her home with me, but I think they might have noticed her missing.

I got to feed her and hold her first. She was perfect.

Because they're still so small, Silas wasn't able to hold or touch them. He really wanted to give them kisses and stroke their heads, like he does with Eli. They need to get a little bigger before they can handle Silas germs.

This is Wyatt. I got to feed him at their next feeding, and I got to hold him for a good long while. He'll be tumbling around with Eli before too long.

They both have lots of hair. It will be interesting to see if either of them get Shana's red, curly hair or JD's brown straight hair, as well as what color their eyes turn out to be.

Getting to feed Sadie. Poor Silas kept creeping closer and closer, trying to get a good look, instead of standing slightly back like he was supposed to.

Where did this giant come from? Only six weeks older than his cousins, he weighs more than them put together. No worries, I'm sure they'll catch up soon! Besides, with JD's genes versus Christian's genes, Wyatt will probably end up being a lot bigger than Eli.

It was a long day, trying to remember to stay a couple of feet back, having to use sanitizers on his hands, watching loads of cartoons while Mommy fed the twins. It's a tough life being the older cousin. I tried to make it up to him with a chocolate shake from Sonic, but he didn't get very far on it before this happened.

Shana and JD are holding up really well to the demands of newborn life times two. I'm so glad we moved up here in 2007 and I get to be close to Shana at this time in her life. She's always been the best big sister ever, and I'm so proud of her.
