Slideshow of Cooper & Hadley's Birth

About a year ago, I saw a slideshow just like this one where my sister had documented a birth for a friend. Ever since then, I knew I wanted her to be there for our babies' birth too! Michael & I were so fortunate to have her in the delivery room capturing this amazing day for us & we will always be in debt to her for this. It is so beautifully done & captures the day even better than I remember it. I could go on & on, but the good thing is that I don't have to...the slideshow speaks for itself. I don't have to struggle to remember every little detail about the day because I can relive it anytime I want to! As Michael & I watched the video for the first time from Mika Beth's interpretation, we watched through tears of joy & overwhelming emotion.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much Mika Beth! This is a priceless treasure!
Birth story to follow soon!

I saw the news on Mika Beths photo blog. Congradulations. That video slideshow made me tear up that was just the most beautiful thing I have ever saw!. Holy how amazing do you look while working so hard to bring little Cooper and Hadley into the world. Mika did an amazing job and its no question on how much fun she will have getting to take pictures of those two little cuties.

Oh Mary Kate!!!! Thank you for sharing this! I needed a good cry today! I can remember the very first time I asked you when you and Michael were having kids. We were standing outside the Houge's house after small group. Every since that night I have prayed for you and Michael to become parents! I am so glad that God finally answered a prayer that so many people have prayed. God has blessed you and Michael with two amazing babies and they are both healthy!

Thank you Mika Beth for capturing that and posting it! You did an amazing job and This will be something that Michael and Mary Kate will treasure forever!

I am so very happy for you and Michael!
We love you guys!

That was amazing! Pretty sure I cried through the entire thing. You are so lucky to have such an amazing sister that was able to capture all of those special moments. You looked beautiful through it all. My favorite picture is the one of your mom in the hallway. She looks totally at peace...love it!

Congrats to you and your hubby for being blessed with those precious babies.
