Welcome to the World Holland and Cole

Following 8.5 months of glorious pregnancy, we welcomed Holland Rae and Cole James Caldwell to the world on September 15, 2008.

Holland was born at 7:55 AM. She was 6 lbs 9 oz. and 19 in. long. She had a head full of hair and two teeth.

Cole was born at 7:56 AM. He was 5 lbs. 12 oz. and 18.75 in. long. He had a lot of hair too, but nothing close to his sister. He was crying a lot, but he could be overheard saying "teeth are overrated."

Mindy the night before...what do you do when your belly is that big? Use it as a coaster, of course!

Mindy shortly before we left for the hospital...yes it was 4:30 AM!
Mommy loves her babies...
Holland is very sleepy. The women in the nursery were nice enough to give her cap a bow.
Cole is snuggled in a little ball...
The happy parents...
Daddy has this "holding twins" thing licked...
Pop is a happy man. Unfortunately, we do not yet know if their first words will be "Mike"...
PawPaw tries to figure out if these babies look like him...
"Rats, I don't see the "Caldwell ears" on Cole."
"Rats, I don't see the "Caldwell ears" on Holland either."
PawPaw and GiGi hold their new grandbabies...
"Thank you MawMaw for the prayer blanket. It kept us warm while we were in mommy's belly"
