They really do exist!!!!

Yeah!!!!I just looked at the blog a few minutes ago and discovered that two new comments had been posted. Come to find out that other twins parents do exist!!! The reason I say this is because I do believe that those are the first two comments from twin parents that we've received!!! it's always nice to know that there are other parents out there struggling(maybe not on a daily basis), but still struggling with the many wonders that come with raising twins. Jason and I didn't use fertility drugs and twins don't run on either side of the family. We just got lucky! Life has changed quite a bit since Henry and Emma came along. We have been given two very good babies-healthy so far except for a couple of colds, quick learners, and well behaved. We stick to a routine and that seems to help keep them feeling secure and safe and that has proven to be the key in keeping them happy little people. The fact is they are well loved by family and friends and that helps SO much too!

In answer to the question-how do I get them to be so good for pictures?
Well...good question. Henry and Emma have had their picture taken almost on a daily basis since they were born so that has helped. Also one thing that helps is to have a digital camera that has a view screen that swivels so they can see themselves while you are taking pictures(helps when video taping too). They like looking at themselves while you are taking the picture. And there is the usual holding up their favorite toy(s), making funny faces or sounds, and just good timing. With this last post I just got really lucky. They were both pretty happy that morning and gave Mama lots of smiles and cute faces. Hope that helps.

I can't believe that in a matter of a couple of weeks they will be a year old already. We haven't even started to plan a birthday party for them. Better get busy Mama and Dada!

I'll be posting again in a few days with more pictures. We'll be seeing family this weekend again and will take lots of pictures.
