The Toy Bin Babies

We have two large toy bins now for Liam and Morgan.
(A red one and a blue one, of course).

When Janne brought this one home, and before we filled it with stuff,
I wanted to get some pictures of the two of them in it.

My inspiration for this was actually from just after Christmas of 2005,
when we had just brought them home from St. Joseph's NICU. I had this really nice gift box that was big enough for either of them to fit in it, as they only weighed about 5 pounds each at the time. Since we considered them (and still do) such an exceptional gift to the two of us, I wanted to get pictures of them emerging from the gift box.

Unfortunately, instead of acting on my impulse, I let the opportunity slip by.
So that's basically why, for Christmas 2006, I schlepped them into the toy bin. Completely selfish, really.
But I'm happy with the resulting shots, especially the bottom picture, which really captures their characters. Morgan, pushing her way to the front.
Liam, happy to sit back while watching over her.
