Twins are Two!

A month ago I made an appointment for Teagan to visit the orthodontist on October 4th. As I made the appointment I kept thinking, "The 4th, Now why does that stick in my mind?" It was not until I received the appointment card and walked to the van that I realised it was the date the twins were born!

This morning I woke up and at a decent time called the twins parents to wish Wendall and Kendell a happy birthday. Their party is this Saturday and we are looking forward to seeing them then. We saw them in August when Wendall and Laurie came to my surprise 40th party with the twins in tow. They are adorable! Into everything and always running in two different directions. Wendall has the biggest blue eyes and a mop of curly blonde hair. Kendell has darker, straight hair and hazel eyes. Wendall looks just like his father and Kendell like her mother.

I can close my eyes and remember the evening they came into the world and the enthralling look of joy and expectation on their parent's faces. Seven years of trying, heartache, disappointments, the roller-coaster ride of infertility that many couples experience all culminated in one joyous moment of seeing the birth of their precious babies. The look on their faces is reward in and of itself and I am so glad that I got to be a part of that.

Happy birthday Wendall and Kendell!
