8 years old!!!!

8 yrs. .today our lives changed and we didn't even  know it. When their mother told me she was pregnant and it was twins I was not happy. I love babies, but I knew what kind of shape their marriage was in, and there were already two children involved. I think she thought the twins would fix things, after all they were happy when the other two were born. But they didn't fix things. With children comes extra financial burdens and added stress. Anyway, I wasn't thrilled but when I went with her to get her first sonogram and I saw Baby A and Baby B, I fell in love. I think God planned it that way. The day the twins were born was a good day. My daughter and I were the first ones to hold them other than their mom and dad. They were so little and sweet. But I was right, children don't fix a broken marriage. Withing 6 mos. of their birth their father had left and everything went downhill steadily from there. It was a mess. And by the time they were 23 mos. old, they were living full time with us. Today they turn 8. They have lived with us for 6 yrs. I am as much in love with them today, even more, than I was when I first saw them. So Happy Birthday twinkies! Grandma loves you very much. :)
