Welcome Benjamin and Kira Garrett

Well we did it!!!!!

The twins arrived on Monday September 29, 2008

Both were born healthy and we are both extremely excited to welcome the newest additions to our family. Big sister Kira came first followed by little brother Ben.

Plenty of pictures are located here



Mom is a little sore but doing very well. Dad is as proud as can be.





Kira' name means "sunshine" in Persian. Her middle name is in tribute of Shannon's niece, Jackie Loffer, who passed away earlier this year.

Benjamin Robert is named after his paternal and maternal grandfathers respectively.

Thanks to all of our family and friends who have supported us thru this journey...WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT ALL OF YOU!!!!! We love you all

Love Nigel, Shannon, Kira, Ben and doggie Simba

37 weeks and counting

We are now entering the homestretch. Shannon is really felling the babies as they are extremely active. We have all the cribs, bassinets, and clothing ready to go. Bags are packed and by time I submit the next post we will be parents. We cant wait to share this special moment with all of you.

34 weeks and counting

We are now 34 weeks into this incredible journey.

We have just set up some of the baby furniture and gotten the room ready for the babies.

Shannon is doing well, slightly exhausted but hanging in there.
The babies are constantly moving and you can see their little arms and legs moving around in Shannon's stomach.

We are now in the homestretch as the babies are due at the end of this month.

We will keep you all posted
