mamie & christine

this will be a never-ending story...

you have known each other since you've been in our tummies.

Christine was the first to be announced on Mother's Day 2014 at Sunday dinner, and the next weekend we found out you would become part of the family too!

at the time, all we knew was that each of you were there; we didn't know your sex, much less ideas of what your names would be.

we knew y'all would be best friends when we found out together that aunt Leigh and i were both having girls!

Dada and i figured out a name pretty quick. we didn't learn Christine's name until we had the gender reveal.

mae & christine, christeenie & mamie :))) get ready to do pretty much anything and everything together for the rest of your lives, or at least i hope it goes this way ;)

love you both so much, sister-frands!! xoxo!!!

this was the BEST WEEK EVER...you girls were born about 22 hours apart!! you were meant to be besties, or sista-frands. 

this picture was taken a couple days after you both came home from the hospital. this was y'all's very first meeting, and sadly i missed out on it. i tried so hard to come out and be apart of it, but i felt terrible., i think it's also when i realized that something was major wrong with the way i was physically feeling. it's moments like this that I'm glad we have cameras to capture the memories!

Riverside Presbyterian Church: baptism - March 22, 2015

Baptism - after all the excitement. i love this picture. you both look like little dolls!

this is another picture that just melts my heart! i wish i could remember how old you guys were in these pictures...i think you are around 4 months old, judging by what you're wearing. your outfit was one of my favorites!
it's from Gommy (Hobby Horse - size 6 mos.)

i know we were watching a pre-season Jags game, hence you "wild" outfits! you guys were soo tiny!! I miss you being this size :)

you are around 5 months in this picture (shrimp & grits size 6 mos. outfit) Noma bought you all matching outfits. i also know this was taken at a Sunday dinner because y'all are laying on the rug by Noma's front door, while we all ate dinner.

just having some girl friend chats!!

this might have been one of the first times you all were at the pool together. we spent lots of time at the pool the first summer y'all were born! i can't wait until summer 2016 when you will actually be running around wearing your floaties!!!

another pool day & looking like twinsies in your matching sun hats

sisters & "sisters"
i know you and C will love hanging out with the Schweagle girls!!  

this is your 6 month birthday!!!

i love C's big bow. i can't wait for your hair to get thick enough for a huge bow!

this was our last pool day of the summer. i think that summer 2015 was the best summer ever so far! it's crazy to think that the first pool pictures you guys could barely hold your heads up; this day y'all were crawling all over the place! you even dunked yourself in the middle of the baby pool!

this was taken shortly after the picture above (at the pool). we went over to leigh & carter's for a cocktail and you girls just couldn't hang!

there are soooo many more pictures out there! these are just a few that i rounded up, and Lord knows we will have more than we can imagine by the time you girls are 1...a little more than 3 months!! i know the time is going to fly by. you girls will probably have joint birthday parties until you voice reason otherwise. and even then you will always share a family birthday :))))
