Brotherly Love
While I was trying to take the picture tonight of them with their eyes open, this is what we caught! Sweet little boys!
All Smiles
I thought you would like to see my boys with their eyes open for a change! Here are two pictures of them all bright eyed. Also, yesterday was a big day here, Brennon smiled for the first time. It was the sweetest thing, I just melted. I was talking to him and he looked up at me and smiled the sweetest smile I have ever seen...I wanted to make sure it wasn't just gas so I went back a few minutes later and started talking to him and he smiled again! That boy has no idea the power that was in that smile! I tried my best to get a picture of it...but no luck!

First Turkey Day
Here are some pictures from our First Thanksgiving with our sons! We have so much to be thankful for this year! It is truly overwhelming for me to look at all of our blessings! Since we have to stay in with the boys through the spring, we had a nice, lazy day around the house and it gave me a good opportunity to dress them up in their cute little clothes....such handsome little men! I pray everyone's Thanksgiving was as blessed as ours..we are blessed beyond measure!

Big boy Cayden
Boys Swinging
Here are a few pictures of my sweet boys swinging....they love their swings! Brennon noticed today that there were stars hanging from the mobile on his swing and he just sat watching it. It was so cute to see him discovering new things(he obviously wasn't discovering anything when I took this picture)! It is amazing to see how much they change and how quickly they change. It is so hard for me to believe they have been here almost a month! Brennon is wearing the striped outfit...the one that is WAY too big!

faces of an angel
I just went in to check on my sweet babies and they were sleeping and I could not resist taking a picture of them because they looked so peaceful! They really look like little angels laying there! There is not a sweeter sight! Brennon is the one with one hand under his chin and the other over his head!

GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!
Big boy outfits
This is their big boy outfits! Brent and I bought these outfits for them the day we found out it was two boys! Time flew by, seems like just yesterday I found out I was pregnant! I can only imagine how fast it will go by as these boys start to grow up! We will savor each moment! As I am typing this, I can hear them on the monitors and I am overwhelmed with emotion. I have never known a love like this. I feel as though my life truly started on October 23rd. My life is fully complete now! God's grace is so clear and evident through my marriage and now my two perfect children!
Brennon and Cayden
This is the picture when we first came home with both boys and we put them in the pack n play together and this is the photo we caught! It was so sweet! It has been so fun and amazing to watch them respond to each other. When one makes a noise the other does, when one gets upset the other gets upset. Brennon never really cries but he will get a little fussy! Cayden is the one on the right with his eyes open! Aren't they the cutest things you have ever seen?
Proud Parents
oops
I forgot to say who was who in the pictures of them in the striped outfits. Cayden is asleep and Brennon is the one awake!
Home Together
Cayden coming home
Cayden was finally able to join us at home on November 6th. What a perfect day! I have never known a feeling like that....having my whole family together finally! These angels have filled a void in me that I never even knew existed! God's timing is amazing.....these precious babies were worth every second of heartache and disappointment. In that first moment when I saw them laying there, everything else faded.....I knew that these were the PERFECT sons I had waited all these years for.
Cute pictures of Cayden
Brennon coming home
October 31st was Brennon's big day to come home. It was a wonderful day but a little sad since we were leaving Cayden. There could not have been two prouder parents anywhere! We just sat staring at him and smiling at every move he made! He did so great his first night, I had to wake him up to eat. He is so laid back, he never gets upset. He is such a joy!
First Family Photo
Here is our first "family" photo! The nurses in NICU were incredible and so thoughtful...it was their idea to take this picture! We were so blessed with such amazing nurses taking care of our sons! Brent is holding Cayden and I am holding Brennon....I will try to make sure to always put which one is which. I do not think they look that much alike but they are changing every day!!!
First picture of the twins
Here is the first photo of the little men! Their daddy is so proud! It was such a wonderful and emotional experience. I had no idea I could love so deeply. The second I heard them cry and laid eyes on them, my whole world changed!!! Brent was so wonderful through the delivery! I could not have done it without him. I love this picture! 8-)

The Shorter Family Blog
OK, well I can not believe it...but I have now entered the Blog world....who would have ever imagined???! I thought this would be a great way for everyone to keep up with our little miracles and see all the new pictures of them....actually this idea came from some encouragement of my special friend, Kim.....thanks for the help Kim! I am sure there will be precious pictures of our little men every day so this will be easier than me emailing pictures every day! I hope you enjoy watching our precious babies! Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and love. Cayden and Brennon are truly an example of God's love and grace! Enjoy!!
