Congrats once again Trish

Haven't been following along on these boards very much over the past few months - but I think you of you often.

(as trish will know by now) - I ran into Fabian and Cali at the park.  It sounds like the babies are simply lovely.  I mentioned I wanted to come visit - I won't take Fabian's advice 'any time'.  I can't wait to see some little ones.  By the sounds of it, though, I had best get there soon, the boys are growing.

My advice to parents with many young ones - just don't ever stop moving.  We acquired a fifth for the weekend (granted she was 7 and not 2, or an infant), didn't mean a thing to the routine - once you are busy with three or four (once they start sleeping through the night), one more just makes it happier, nosier and more memorable.

Can't wait to see you again, and meet the boys.

Trish, we are DYING to see some pics. When you get a spare moment, of course. Ha.

I'll bet they are getting so big already.

OK, here they are! As expected Trish is swamped, but she and her little ones are doing extremely well. She sent me this picture. They look just like their mom!



She promised that she will sent me some more recent pictures soon.

What a pair of good-looking boys. Nicely sized for twins, too.

Thanks for the pic.

Just what I like to see - twins sharing the same isolette.  Studies show that twins do best when physically kept together after being born; when they are separated they sometimes can fail to thrive.  I kept my twins together in the same crib until they were too big to share it without bumping into each other.

Thanks for sharing the pictures - they sure are sweet  :)
