Every Post with the Same Title

I realized today that the last Blog Post was titled 'The Twins are Getting Bigger!' A rather humorous title considering essentially every post from now till the kids are out of our house could be titled precisely the same! It has been a while since our last post so here is a quick update: We have a weight-check on Tuesday, July 3rd. Hard to believe that today (I suppose now yesterday as I write at 1 am) marks 4 months the twins have been with us! Crazy!! We have already been seeing some pretty awesome milestones in "L" & "NoNo" but look forward to getting them into some higher weight percentiles! Eliana & Noah are both healthy, strong, and extremely happy! :-) I cannot explain what it means to pick your son or daughter up and have them gleam with a smile from ear to ear and squeal (laugh) as they stare back at you with the eyes of pure innocence. God has truly blessed this Parris Clan and we are forever grateful. At the risk of being one of those annoying parents that constantly tells you how great their children are, I will leave you with a few photos over the last 2 months or so. Feel free smile at them as needed! God Bless!

Professional Photos... Just A Taste

We took Eliana & Noah for their first photo-shoot today! We were in a smoldering hot room for four hours trying to get the best shots. Totally worth it! Surprisingly enough, Eliana was the cooperative one & Noah was being little Mr. Difficult! These are photos that our photographer posted to her FaceBook page. We will post a link with the full assortment as soon as they are available. Enjoy!

Twins Pictures... 1st of Many!

March Madness begins!!!

It's official! They're here!!! John Noah & Eliana Lynn have arrived (3/1/2012)! Noah: 6lbs 1oz, 20 inches. Eliana: 5lbs 8oz, 18 inches. Mom is recovering nicely from her C-Section. Derika is feeling better everyday. We are also starting to get into a nice nursing routine. With two babies it is very time consuming! For now, I'll just be posting as many pictures as I can. Fun stories to come later! :)

These children are the greatest blessings of our lives & we so appreciate all of you & your prayers, love, and support! Thank you!!

Anniversary Party

Mom & Dad's Wedding Anniversary was great, but it was a wonderful help to have Kayla there to absolutely send it over the top!

Engaged!

Right after the proposal in front of Derika's favorite church in Chicago, IL. (Yes, she has some tears, happy ones!)
How did I do - I think it looks pretty good if I do say so myself!
