How is this even possible? I’m honestly not sure if I’ve ever told their birth story here on the blog, but they were born at 30 weeks and just under 3 pounds each…

They quickly grew into chubby little babies that slept great and ate well as you can see…

Tom made their Halloween costumes out of felt this year – Barney and Fred Flinstone…

They laughed and laughed at us and each other. I would tickle one and the other would laugh – it’s a twin thing!


Once they could start talking, they were hilarious. I have all of their funny quotes recorded.





Quick Recall Academic Team was always so fun to watch:

They love each other so much and enjoy being together. They laugh and laugh when they are together even now!

They figured out how to sit in the back seat of the van and flip the seat back together – in the garage – not while we were driving!

Starting high school at my school with me:


Leaving for college:

I absolutely love the “look” on Ernie’s face as we are loading up the cars!
Jack has an extremely long day today – classes and an audition from about 8:00 a.m. until about 8:00 p.m. and I also have my school’s open house (as well as a normal school day) from 5:45 until about 8:00 p.m. We are doing take out Chinese food tonight at home and then I think we are doing a nice restaurant reservation on the weekend. In typical form they are fine with whatever, but I want to celebrate them and this milestone!

Happy Birthday, Jack and Mason! And many, many more! What a long day you have today! I always dread open house, but then itβs smooth sailing into the school year after that! Our open house isn’t until later this month.

Amy, I am just sitting here with a big old smile on my face at all of these cute and wonderful photos. I cannot even imagine having twins (though my two youngest are only 15 months apart). How fabulous that they are such good friends! Thanks for sharing this milestone with us.
