They're HERE! We took around 300 pictures total (I think), so there's a lot to wade through!
I'm still working on putting pictures up, so check back often if you are interested.
Indigo (girl) is the one on the left and Taran (boy) is the one on the right. Indigo is 8.2 pounds while Taran is a whoppin' 9.2 pounds. They were born 12 minutes apart. Indigo 6 minutes before midnight and Taran 6 minutes after, so they have different birthdays!
The following pictures go through the labor and delivery and visits with the twins.
