My son, Elliot, was in the NICU with all three of these girls. I remember Josephine's mom bringing in a miniscule bikini on July 4th, 2007 and bathing her in a tiny plastic tub with "Josephine's Spa" written on the side. I wasn't in the mood for much humor at the time, but it was cute. The twins were across the aisle from Elliot for a few days, and I never got to meet their parents. They were tiny, but seemingly very stable--they just ate, slept, and grew. It's truly amazing to see these photos and read the updates. Elliot has always been healthy as well and is doing great.
