More photos
Scanned some more photos tonight. They are all uploaded to the flickr photo album linked in the right-hand column. Here are a few of them, though.
And, please - keep on sending in your own photos, memories & any posts that you'd like for us to share on this blog. Your comments here on the blog, too, are wonderful ways to keep us feeling connected to the girls, even now. I can't tell you how great it makes me feel to hear from all of you, to talk about them with you again, to rejoice in their lives.

Stephen
Stephen by Amanda Elkins
At the age of two you're very smart,
You wreck my things and tear them apart.
You cry when your stung by a bee.
When you get hurt you come to me.
You are my godson, my joy, my pride.
You know I will always be on your side.
My New Brother
My New Brother
One day my mom said "I'm going to have a baby. You're a big sister now. But you can't tell you're dad." OK. "I can't wait," I said. A few months later we went to the hospital. I saw the nurses. The doctor called me in the room when it was almost time. When it was all over I had a new Brother.
Letter to Emo
Emo -
So today I woke up and could hardly stand up. I was affraid something had happened. I can't even describe the pain I felt. It's almost 2:00 and it still really hurts to stand, and now almost to the point to sit down. Thank god we have a doctors appt tonight. I told my mom this morning and she thinks it is because I don't drink enough water. We'll see tonight. I don't understand why I can't have an easy pregnancy like other people. It pisses me off that the other girls here who are pregnant don't have any pain. AH! Anyways I can't wait to be a mommy. I want to hold her so bad! Just to have her fall asleep on my chest. I really can't wait to hear her cry. I know I say that now but I want to hear her. I can already feel her, so it will just complete me. I know you will be a wonderful father and I couldn't ask for anyone better to have a baby with. I love you with all of my heart, and I can't wait untill we get our own place.
Well I know you hate long letters, so I'll stop. Got to go to Spanish now. Yippy! Not.
I love you so much -
Your baby's mama
Dear Mom
Dear Mom,
In the past few months I have put you through alot. We have always gotten through our problems together, no matter how hard it is. I want to thank you for being the best mom that you can be. I couldn't see myself being raised any diffrent.
I have been so scaired lately, not about labor (not yet), but about what kind of mom I will be. I want, when my child grows up and becomes a parent to say they want to be the best parent, like their mother; how I feel about you. I'm so scaired to think I have a little life that I have to shape, but then I think that if I just go by what I was taught by you, I will be fine.
You are so strong; and have gotten us all through ALOT, ever since I as born. You always put me and the boys first. Words could never express my thanks that I want to give to you, but I guess the greatest thanks is seeing what you taught me passed on to my children.
Thank you for never stopping loving me. The boys may not realize it now, but they have the BEST mom in the world. I know that I don't express myself alot. I don't really know how. I just want you to know that you are the one who taught me how to be an great parent, and I pray I can follow in your footsteps.
I love you!
Amanda
