On July 15, 2013, Emmett and Owen Ezell were born conjoined at the stomach, connected from the chest to the belly button and sharing a liver and intestines.

They underwent a risky nine-hour separation surgery at one-month old and have undergone countless procedures since.

11 months after they were born, the twins left the hospital for the first time (on June 12th) to live with their parents, two older brothers and a full-time nurse in Grand Prairie, Texas.

'We are overjoyed. Overwhelmed. Exhausted. Full of love and hope. Worried. Relieved. Enamored," wrote their parents Jenni and Dave Ezell (pic below).

They've still got a long road ahead -- hoping the little guys live long and healthy lives.
