Flash Back Friday

I decided to share the twins this week
since they have a birthday coming up next week!
The day I had my twins... I was all tummy.
I only went 4 days early
and gained exactly 40 pounds.
8/4/1993
Baby"A"-Ashley was 6lbs & 10ozs
Baby"B"-Jonathan was 5lbs & 12ozs
They were a "V" birth and came 26 minutes apart
and after 26 hours of labor...but it was worth it!
This was the hospital pic ...which I didn't really like.
Do these ever turn out cute????


Anna loved the twins!

They loved being side by side even outside my tummy:)

They were sooooooo cute together!!!

These were taken before digital cameras...boy I wish I had a digital back then.


They had a sweet bond that multiplies share.


Ashley was always taller and bigger until the teen years




And this is my wonderful boy today. Wow! How time flies.


And this is my sweet girl:)
If I had my way I'd go back and raise my kids again.
These are sweet memories from some of the greatest days of my life:)

This is a cute poem I had about the twins on our family site.

~~~Two To Love~~~
There's two to wash, there's two to dry,
There's two who argue, there's two who cry.
One's in the mud having a ball,
The other holds a crayon, another marked wall.
Some days seem endless, my patience grows thin.
Why was I chosen to be a mother of twins?

The answer comes clear at the end of each day,
As I tuck them in bed and to myself say,
There's two to kiss, there's two to hug,
And best of all, there's two to love!

~~~~~

I plan to add more pics of these two over the next few days

and share what it has been like being the mom of twins.
