This photo was taken 8/11, Maia was still at the hospital. Debbie kangarooed which means that the bare baby lies against your bare chest! It's insanely cool and incredibly bonding!

On a photo taking note: Try to NOT to use flash whenever possible. This will result in photos where you will need to hold the camera very steadily. Nevertheless, natural light will give a much more realistic photo over flash, which has a flattening effect. Even though this photo suffers from graininess, this is actually an asset adding to the depth and feel of the composition.

Extra! Extra!

Maia meets her sister Layla

Yesterday, Maia came home. It has been a harrowing and stressfull 13 days but finally, the twins were together! Maia and Layla snuggled together with their Mommy and Daddy while proud grandparents took pictures. (This seemed to go on for hours! jeez!). Finally, the happy family went to bed with both babies side by side in the bassinet!

Thanks to all your support!
Love,
The Musallams
