I know I am a little late to the game to provide you with the play by play action of the pregnancy....but I thought I should at least start at the beginning of our amazing pregnancy journey. After viewing two pink lines on Tom's 28th birthday, we were overcome with joy and anticipation of the next chapter of our lives. In January, Tom and I had our first ultrasound, where we were very pleasantly surprised to discover we were having twins!!!
After the we left the doctor's office we were both smiling and still shocked; we immediately called our parents and siblings. Everyone's reaction was so sweet and made the moment that much more memorable. From the "Oh, my gosh you have got to be kidding" to the "double the fun" and "you over achiever" - all were excited about the rapid expansion of our family. Tom snapped a few pictures at the house and we emailed the excited news.
Things have been quite interesting since January. As most of you know we put our first house on the market and were shocked to have the house sold in a mere four days. As we (mostly Tom, since I slept 10 hours a day) packed up our belongings and started looking for another place to call home, we realized two years has gone by so quickly. It seems like yesterday my Dad was helping us with some electrical work, Philip was working on installing new doors and Tom and I were busy remodeling a bathroom. Looking back I truly believe we worked on that house more than we relaxed, but the funny thing was the fixing and repairing was what we enjoyed so much!
Moving day came and went...and the house hunting still continued. Who knew that selling a home would be easy, just finding a replacement would be a much longer process! My ever-so-gracious in laws opened their home to Tom, me and our scale breaking / slightly overweight two labs, Andi and Grace. The past six weeks of living with Tom, JoAnn and Georgia, the family dog, has been fun for the entire family. Our dogs love all the attention and the frequent walks by the future grandparents, while Tom and I are a big fan of JoAnn's cooking and Tom's company!
While the chaos continues, I promise to strive to update the posting every two weeks. I ask that you bear with me as I work on my technology skills with adding pictures and updates - I hope I can find the spell check! Please post a message on the site or send us an email; we are doing are best to keep up with everyone and technology certainly helps!
Have a great week and we love you all!

Yeah! I'm so glad you were able to get the picture thing figured out. I can't wait to read all of the updates about the Powell family. When do you find out the sex of the babies? Congrats again and I hope you're able to find a house soon! By the way...there is no spell check. I'm always finding typos in my posts! Love to you all!! Julia
