Happy 1st Birthday!!

WOW! I can't believe one year has already gone by since the birth of our baby girls! What a crazy year it has been- 3 kids under 3 years old! I wouldn't want it any other way- our lives our crazy right now, but the reward of loving 3 healthy, beautiful babies is indescribable! On March 23, 2010 (the girls' birthday), we had a mini photo shoot. Not surprisingly, they didn't cooperate! Their one year check-up (March 25) report: Vanessa Marie weighed in at 18 lbs. 6 oz, 27 1/2 inches tall and Valerie Ryan weighed 19 lbs. 1 oz and 28 inches tall. They're neck and neck with each other!

Happy 1st Birthday Valerie Ryan!!

I never thought they'd put weight on their legs!

Happy girl Nessa after her nap :D

Val loves to stand up now.

OK girls, you know the monthly drill- SMILE! You can't really see it, but Nessa's (L) onesie says "1 of 2" and Val's "2 of 2". I ordered these online after we found out the shocking news!

Proud Momma- we made it through the first year! Val-R

So proud of Valerie standing up.

Not sure what to think about their birthday hats! Val-R
