The Fab Five Reveal

Tomorrow we will set out on another beautiful, world-wide journey to our Apollo. Mike, Magnus, and I will say goodnight and goodbye to our sweet girls one last time tonight until we see them again in 2.5 weeks. I'm reminiscing and thinking back to when we told the girls and Magnus they were going to have a new brother.

It was Christmas morning and all of the presents had been opened...all but one. We had strategically wrapped a picture of Apollo in 4 boxes - each box being wrapped into the next size box. So they started unwrapping with Anya going first. They giggled at the sight of another wrapped present inside and Eliza unwrapped the next box, then Juliette, and finally Magnus who was left with the picture frame. When he turned it over for everyone to see, little jaws dropped to the ground, big smiles emerged, and screaming ensued. It was the most wonderful gift we could ever have given them and they couldn't have been any more excited or surprised. They loved Apollo as their own from the minute they laid eyes on him too!
