On 2-7-06 I became the proud father of two healthy twin baby boys, Brayton Allen and Brandon Clark. These are my wife and I's first kids and it has been an experience already but WELL worth it.

Thanks for looking,

    Congrats to the proud parents.

    I'm not to fond of the sepia shot, but that's just me. The color shot is just too precious and perfect display of the twins. It's definately a wall hanger but if they both had their little fists balled up the same it would have made it even more perfect than it is. Their skin color looks so good too.

    Get some rest, you're going to need it :D

    Congratulations! Identical? They're sure look it.

    The best tip I can give you is to buy a good book on sleep habits for kids. Something like this one. The idea is that you want to get them on the same sleep schedule and stick to it, no matter what. nod.gif

    The color shots definitely works for me. Cute babies... The one on the left looks a bit bigger, love it that they both have the same expression, heads tilted the same way. I see great shots coming up...
    I would stay away from the sepia, they are to precious to be brown...

    Congratulations!
    Congratulations to all four of You!

    I'm an older member of DG, but I mainly just lurk, now... But being a mom of five, with the last two being twin sons who are now 13, I can tell you that you are in for the most wonderful and rewarding ride of your life! As difficult as these new days may seem to be, try and find a moment to stop and write down all that is happening, because before you realize it, the boys will be 5 and heading out the door to school, then middle school and out into the world beyond "mom & dad." Each day I revel in the joy of the boys! I am amazed at who they are fast becoming. I wish for you the same.

    Your little guys are beautiful! I love this photo... They look to have been good sized little guys!

    Blessings...
    I remain,
    ginette

    Thank you all for the kind words and advicethumb.gif We are still waiting for the test results to see if they are identical. At first they didn't look all that much alike but every day they look more like each other.

    15524779-Ti.gif Congrats on the healthy boys and hopefully mom is doing as well as the twins look to be (althought some what sleep deprived I imagine...)

    And I thought 2 boys 2 1/2 years apart were a handful. Good luck and (as Andy would say) enjoy (baby) photography:D

    congratulations - the pictures are wonderful!

    As a twin all I can say is fasten your seat belt it's gonna be a bumpy ride! LOl

    My mother has horror stories how one would take off one way and of course the other in the other direction --- she was always alone when we did this. ne_nau.gif

    Best wishes to your wonderful gifts.
