Of course your layouts are beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing. But I mostly wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your beautiful baby girls. Soooo precious they are. And can I just say how much I love the way you document the love in your family. Makes me want to start my family over again and be the kind of mom you are. Keep it up girl!

Hope you are getting even the teensiest bit of rest.

Stephanie, these may be your best layouts yet! I love how each one is like a treasured love letter.

[Barb]

What??!! A post with no pictures of the chickies?!!??
Say it ain't so.

[jackie]

i LOVE all of your layouts! i added "holiday lights" to my kit for dec. i am sooo excited about enjoying the holiday season with my family. i know you are super excited this season. have a great week...and try to rest.

[Jill Sprott]

I dub thee Wonder Woman.

[Michelle Unruh]

Well said Ursula!! I am with her, Steph!! I too really love the way you document the love in your family. I wish I could start over! I have the hardest time being so open, vulnerable for everyone to see. My childhood and experiences with my parents and family have made that one very difficult. I find that having great scrappy friends like you is such an enlightening and empowering thing!! Such a wonderful thing!!
As for the scrappy pages.. beautiful as always. I am with you. I am so sad to see my sweet kids' baby faces gone. I wish I could turn the clock back and relive those wonderful years.. partly to do over learn from my mistakes. But, mainly because I just adore the baby years!!! They don't last anywhere near long enough. While on the other hand, when you are going through them, the teen years seem to just drag. Those years are so hard. My sweet boy will be 4 in two weeks. The baby fat is gone. The baby face is disappearing. And yet, like you with your girls', he just melts my heart!! Can you believe.. he still lets me rock him alittle!! LOVE it!!

[Veera]

Your layouts ROCK, as always!!!

[Joan]

WOWZERS!!!! YOu totally rocked these layouts!!! Love the details on each one!!!!

Hope you are getting some rest! HUGS!

[Tammy Graves]

Wow! I don't check the computer for several days and ...voila! You go and have 2 adorable babies! Seriously, congratulations to you and J and family! I can tell you are beaming with happiness! The girls look so sweet, adoring their new sisters! I am just overjoyed for you! Soak every moment in...the long, sleepless nights...cause you know it goes by too fast...what I wouldn't give to be woke up by a sweet little cry that needs only me, and to smell that sweet baby smell, and hear those sweet baby sounds in my ear as I hold that little one...just drink it all in! Will be praying that the new transition goes well for all of you! Blessings! Oh, my crockpot friend, Sandy, told me to tell you congratulations...she's so happy for you!

[Amy K]

You do such a beautiful job on your layouts. TFS.

I hope all is going well with the transition to a family of 6.

Blessings...

[Kathy Martin]

What a treat for the eyes! Great pages and photos! Thanks for sharing!

[Dolly]

Stephanie your newest chicks are so beautiful! Cate and Lucy (OMG how I love those names, especially Lucy!)look so much like J at the moment...I bet that he is just bursting with pride at all of the gorgeous girls in his life; what a blessing! Love your layouts too, you have such talent. Monday Morning Meeting is so precious. Congrats again little mama!

[ScrappinA]

WOWW! i love every LO. the days of the week stickers are awesome!

[Adriana P.]

Beautiful layouts! Amazing you could still scrap so late in your pregnancy. All I could do is pace back and forth. ;-)

[Vickie Lee]

I want you to know how very, very, very happy I am on the birth of your beautiful girls and for your family. I love following your blog and am so thrilled that all went well. You have a beautiful family and are so blessed. All the best to you and your sweet family.

[Bessie Segal]

You have a big house-move, two little girls to look after, give birth to {adorable} twins, the holidays coming up, and you POST! Are you for real! You are a super-duper-woman, that's for sure. I hope all is going well and the babies are healthy and thriving and that you are managing to rest.

Be well, all of you.

[Keshet]

Love all of these, especially the first!

[Sarah W.]

They are all gorgeous! Thanks for taking the time out of your very busy schedule to post for us! Enjoy the girls!
