They definitely resemble one another but they have their own uniqueness. Owen's face is more narrow and oval, where Griffin's face is more round. Owen (on the left in yellow) is fairer than Baby G, but I guess that makes sense with his lighter hair. My mom and Brian say Owen looks like me, and I can see the resemblance to my baby photos. Unfortunately, I don't have any baby pictures of Brian, so I'm not sure if Griffin favors him. He definitely has Brian's mellow personality, content to sit back and watch the world. We aren't sure where Skippy got his high energy. But I will fess up to being the culprit of their stubbornness. Talk about some strong willed little dudes.
Besides the awesomeness (a word from Lelia) of the boys being back together, I got a major highlight moment. I got to hold both of them at the same time. It was incredibly emotional. With such an abbreviated pregnancy and traumatic delivery (someday I'll write about those terrifying moments but I can't yet), there have been many things I have grieved. One being all three of us together. Yes, I had experience the thrill of holding my own child, each in his turn, but there was always this feeling of incompleteness. That is not to say that they are not enough each on their own. But I carried around the memory of when there was two inside. So when I finally held both again, it was breathtaking and overwhelmingly joyous.

Yea, I new post. For those of you who can share in this joy with us because you are not close, let me tell you, YOU ARE MISSING OUT!!
This has been and still is the most exciting thing in our lives right now. I feel so blessed to be a part of these precious miracles from God. Just seeing how far God has brought them is so uplifting. Don't take me wrong, these little whip snorts have just about scared the living daylights out of all of us, but I would not have missed it for the world. Oh how these little guys have won my heart. I just love em to pieces.
Thanks to my sweet little niece (Pooh) for letting me hold them as long as I want to when I go see them. I tell you, it just warms my heart.
Love ya'll

Jenn I am so glad they are together again, and Im also very glad that you got to hold them together... Amber sends me updates all the time, and Im sure she doesnt tell me about all the days that were scary, but it seems like they have just progressed perfectly! I cant wait to hear that you are taking them home... and the next time I make it to Texas Im holding them... for a while :) Love you!
