Martyn & Eilidh

17 years ago, my sister and my brother's wife
both had babies two days apart.
Martyn was born 10 weeks early & weighed 2lb 4oz.
Eilidh was born late weighing nearly 9 lbs.
This was the first picture of the two of them together.

Hard to believe that Martyn is the older of the two.
He was much smaller than Eilidh
until about a couple of years ago.

This was taken two years ago at my hubby's 40th.
Martyn is now a good couple inches taller than Eilidh
and his beautiful sister Rebecca who is in blue.

Martyn was born on the Wednesday.
This is his card.

Eilidh was born on the Friday.
This is her name hanging.

I loved the shimmer on the purple card stock
so have kept this very simple.
The butterfly's are vellum.

We got engaged on the Thursday of that week.
What a week, I gained a tiny nephew who
spent many weeks in NICU.
A strong healthy Niece.
And a Fiancé!

It sure don't seem that long ago!
