Our heartfelt congratulations go out to Christy and Greg on the adoption of twins on Wednesday, June 11th - Claire Brianne and James William. We also need to congratulate Nicholas who will now be a super big brother. They are in Austin, TX for a little while until the twins get out of the NICU, but I am happy to report that both of their babies are doing great. What a double blessing. We are anxiously awaiting pictures and the chance to see these bundles of joy in person. And we are thrilled to add to the Gladney family in our area.
Note: I am sure that Daniel will want to be the first one to welcome Claire because he loves baby girls and he can now be the older man! Of course, he will have to convince proud father Greg that he is worthy. Does playing with three toys at the same time while walking around the table and saying hi with his gorgeous smile and infections laugh count (not that we are biased on the amazing capabilities and incredible character of our son). Plus Daniel will enjoy having another male buddy like Nicholas in baby James. After all, boys need to run around together and create havoc in our lifes - that is why we love them so much.
Preamble to this story:
On Wednesday, June 4th I was at a Gladney meeting with Stacey at Jane and Greg's house (parents of cutie Alex) when Christy and Greg arrived and told us they had some sweet news - they were matched and they were adopting TWINS! Needless to say they both were in shock and had some pretty stunned looks on their faces. We had champagne to celebrate and managed to wake up Alex. Then I had to call Michael and tell him the news right away! We were so happy for Christy and Greg who were such wonderful supporters during our wait for Daniel.
By the way I want to note that the day that Michael and I were matched with Daniel, I was also at a meeting at Jane's house for RESOLVE. So I have now officially determined that if you want your match to come through Jane needs to host an event at her house (and of course she is the best hostess ever).
