How cute! They are dolls. My nephew and his wife just had twins on Oct 14th. They were 34 weeks, but are both home and doing fine. I told them that they get double the pleasure of two little ones.

They are so cute! Does your DW belong to a Mother's of Twins Club? When my twins were a few months old, I joined one. We used to have a lot of social events like Halloween parties for the kids, but the best part was the mutual support and friendship. I was the president of our local chapter and even put on a national convention once...but that was in my previous life many years ago.

Oh my ... those little things are SO yummy I can hardly stand it! My first two are almost a year apart and they were Winnie the Pooh and the Hunny Pot. How fast time flies. Enjoy every minute of it!

They are both so beautiful with their little costumes. My son and his wife just had an adorable little girl on Nov. 19th. This is our second granddaughter. When I saw your photos of the twins, it reminded me of my 22 month old granddaughter that went out as a lamby. We went out together with her parents for Halloween. I was with them for almost a month and now I'm back but must say that saying your twins pictures reminds me of them.

Okay that is too cute.

jIM_Ohio is Investing to retire early

Instead of making retirement a question, make it a sport- can I do it and how fast?
