Who looks like who?

I have been wanting to post this for a while now. I was able to finally get some of my baby pictures and Thomas's baby picture scanned into our computer. Its amazing to see how much our girls resemble Thomas and I. Rachel definitely resembles me and Haley resembles Thomas. What do you all think?

My mom gave me a dress that I wore when I was 7 months old. I got a picture of Rachel and Haley wearing it. I can't believe they fit into it though it was a little short. It was more of a shirt on Rachel.

Below are a couple of pictures of me when I was ~18 months old. Do these pictures resemble Rachel?

Below is a picture of Thomas when he was ~2-3 months old. Does this picture resemble Haley?

Its so neat to see baby pictures of Thomas and I and then to look at our beautiful girls and see the similarities. It's amazing how genetics work. We love our girls!

Amanda,
You are definitely correct in who looks like who. *wow* Genetics are a fun thing for sure. I look at Cody and see both me and my husband and look at Cami and see my sister and my husband lol. I hope the girls are well.

About Us

Thomas and I were married in January 2007 in Houston, Texas. About 8 months later, we were excited to start a family. After a diagnosis of infertility due to PCOS and endometriosis, we were devastated. With the help of infertility treatments we were blessed with twin boys (Brian and Brendan), but unfortunately lost them at 18 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. Unwilling to give up on our dream to have a family, we tried again, but our second try resulted in an ectopic pregnancy. On our third try we were surprisingly expecting sextuplets. On August 4, 2009 at 22 weeks 6 days, we welcomed 4 girls and 2 boys - Haley, Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn, Rachel and Kaitlyn. Our sweet angels Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn and Kaitlyn passed away and returned to our loving Heavenly Father. We have been so blessed to have Haley and Rachel at home with us. They have been home from the NICU since February 2010. They are doing well and growing. They are miracles! We love them and have been so blessed!

We have been so blessed to have added another miracle baby to our family. Kayla was born December 9, 2011. She was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. She is a precious miracle and we are so glad she joined our family.

Our last little miracle, Brandon Thomas joined our family on December 14, 2015. He was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. He was 9 pounds, 7 oz (big boy)! He has spina bifida, but he is doing well. He is such a happy boy!! We love our little boy and are so blessed to have him in our family.
