Are they.....twins??



Okay, so when I found out that I was having twins, and that they were girls, I was so worried that they wouldn't be able to have their own identity. I thought that everyone would just see them as a package deal and not as individuals. I was so relieved when we found out they were not identical. I thought that now they had the chance to be their own person. I have to laugh at myself now because I am so frustrated when people don't even realize they ARE twins. At least two or three times a week as we are at stores or the library someone will look at them and say hesitantly, "Are they...um...are they twins??" I can't blame them because Emma is taller, but it makes me so sad that they don't automatically have that identity of twins. Not everyone gets to have a twin and have that unique relationship, and I want my twins to be able to have that identity. Am I crazy, or what? I have been toying with dressing them the same to make their relationship more obvious,, but that would involve a new wardrobe because they are wearing Ana's hand-me-downs. I know that it doesn't matter AT ALL if people see them as twins or not, but it has really been bothering me lately that people can't tell. What do you think?


Halloween



We had a great Halloween this year. We had a ward carnival, a school parade, and preschool and class parties to celebrate. Darren and I even got into the spirit with costumes. The only downside is that we only had one person come trick or treating at our house, so I was bored while Darren took the girls out. But this was the first Halloween since Ana has been trick or treating that it has not been freezing cold, so that was nice.
