Jackson & Sydney!

It is still really hard for me to look at this picture without getting tears in my eyes. Most of you that read the blog know these two beautiful young ladies - but, for those of you that do not - Jackie & Nicole are - for lack of a better term - my little sisters. I met Jackie when she was eight years old. Her older sister Melissa has been my best friend since the 7th grade. Nicole and Jackie are BEST friends - and have been for as long as I can remember. Any time the Pickett's took a family vacation - Nicole and I tagged along.

Well, on October 27th, 2010 they BOTH became Mommies to two beautiful babies. Nicole had Sydney on her due date just a few hours after Jackie had Jackson 5 weeks EARLY! Yup, you read correctly - Jackson & Sydney were born just a few hours apart. Made visiting them in the hospital quite easy!

Thank you Nicole and Jackie for giving me such beautiful little angels. I love you!

Jackie holding Sydney and Nicole holding Jackson. What a special bond they will have.

All the babies just sprawled out on the floor. We had to keep a close eye on Mackenzie, as I'm pretty sure she wanted to play with Jackson & Sydney. Maybe next time!
