These Girls

It has been lovely getting to spend so much time with these two new sisters. They are already good at being sisters. We are very fortunate that Aurelia loves Vivianna. She asks to hold her and kiss her many times a day. It melts my heart every single time. I am in love with my family.

Aurelia loves to hold Vivianna and now she asks for a burp cloth. So cute!

Pure joy

(Don't worry. Dada was right behind her.)

Very happy momma-daughter time

These girls love to "dance". I think Reli may have had a bit too much juice just prior to shooting this video. She's obviously a little wound up. What fun to watch her spin.

Glorious Days

We are still reveling in the novelty of this new life that has joined Team Kaplan. She is breathtakingly sweet and soft. She can melt your heart from across the room. Look out world.

Sweet sisters

Love at first sight

Vivianna is Here!

We welcomed our newest addition to Team Kaplan on Thursday,October 6, 2011 at 3:05 pm. She came into this world weighing 8 lbs, 1 oz and measuring 20.5 inches long. Her birth was relatively quick and just about the best experience we could have hoped for. She is a dream come true.

We came home yesterday to introduce Vivianna to Aurelia and are enjoying settling into our new life as a family of four. What wonderful moments these are.

SIGH.

Ponytails and boots. Wow.

At the hospital in labor already

Home at last. What a wonderful feeling.
