Here is a photo that was taken a month or two ago and is one of my favorites.
The girls look so infant like in this photo and now they seem so much older looking.
Not pictured is, of course, the other girl in my life, my awesome wife.

If I happen to have a car seat in each hand and someone passing by catches my eye, they love to stop and peer into the car seats and get a glimpse of the girls. Usually they comment on "how cute" they are or "how sweet" or "precious". Then they look at me and typically ask: "Are you guys getting any sleep?" or "Are they letting you sleep?"
I always feel a bit guilty when I reply with a "Yeah, they've been pretty good." since it is my wonderful wife that is the one getting up and down with them during the wee hours of the AM. I will occasionally get nudged into diaper duty prior to her feeding one or the other or BOTH...
I know I can only due so much while they are at this stage, so I usually crawl back into bed and have hardly any trouble getting back to sleep. I usually have no idea what happens between that time and the next feeding, unless, of course, I am nudged again.
I think I owe Debbie about a week or two worth of rest at this point and I am probably only going to dig myself into a deeper hole... So with that I'll just say: "You are an AMAZING woman and THANK YOU!"
And now....photos of me sleeping...hey at least I have one of the girls in my arms.

As one might expect, the arrival of twins is unexpected for most, and we were certainly in that category.
Every time someone would ask: "You guys ready for twins?", I would answer; "I don't know?" How else CAN you answer that question unless you have been through it previously? It was an honest answer. I wasn't all that nervous or worried about twins and after awhile I became excited and antsy for their arrival.
Believe it or not, I was made aware of the fact that we were expecting twins via text message, somewhat nonchalant right? It's true. I happened to be in a weekly staff meeting at the time, and my wife knew this. The text simply read: "What do you think about 2 babies?". Ummmmm, OK...?
That was in January of 2011, fast forward to October and the girls are here and already a month old. Yikes, I need to fill the gaps...
