Although they are in opposite arms in the second picture, I am still so in love with my baby girls. They will be 2 years old in the middle of next month and they have been nothing but the purest joy in my life. Not to diminish my 3 grandsons at all, but these girls, one belonging to each of my children are the desire of my heart.

I can't wait until we can change our avatars. I'm getting really tired of holding those two babies!

They are adorable! I can see a bit of you in each of them. How lucky for them that they have you!

Oh, that was just the perfect thing to say! I, however, am the lucky one. The one with the brown eyes is as tough as an anvil and I'm told by many that she acts like me and I'm make sure not to look puzzled or ask just what they mean by that. LOL
The one that has blue eyes calls me baby, to my delight!

Jerilyn, you look too young to have grandkids!! Terrific pic of all of you..did you get to see them today (Mothers day)? Don't you love all the changes they have gone through, how they started out with dark hair and are now so fair.....in fact sorta looks like a little strawberry blonde? So happy you have them and your Grandsons in your life!!

You are sweet Vicki. Yes, I got to see them all. It was a blessed day. Both of my children had dark hair at birth and then as toddlers were blonde. Mine started dark and stayed that way. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it.) LOL.

Oh, my! They are so precious, I don't know how you let them go home! It's like twins without the parents being tired. I hope they grow up to be great friends. Hugs and cuddles.

I was just going to say the same thing. How does she get younger looking?
by Leaha 12 May 2014
She used a different camera, it has a younger lens.....:PPPPP
OOPS sorry, I couldn't help myself....:PPPPPP
by jrob 12 May 2014
I was super tired in the first one and as you can see I haven't had time to get a hair cut in 2 years. LOL! Thank you for your sweet comments.

Jerilyn, Your girls are adorable. I bet it is such fun to be able to sew and embroider for them. They actually look like sisters. I know they will grow up to be great friends. Now we need to see a photo of those grandsons!!
I love how happy you look when you are holding them. Enjoy them to the fullest as you will find out when you blink they will be all grown up!! Hugs, Mary

I know, Mary. They grow up entirely too fast. They are fun to sew and embroider for. I can't wait until I can have them for sleep overs and let them really get to know each other.

What a lovely picture of you and your grandchildren. To have your grandchildren close to you is a blessing as so many have grandchildren all over the world. Lucky girls to be growing up near to each other

Thank you. Yes, we do know how lucky we are. They live about 5 minutes apart and I live about 20 minutes away. I am super blessed and highly favored! :)

Jerrilyn - what a beautiful picture. I do so understand the 'girl thing' as I know how I feel about Georgie - my only grand daughter. Does not mean to say that I do not feel the same way about her twin brother and my other two grand sons.

I understand. The 3 boys are older and I was beginning to think we weren't going to have any girls.

ohhh such a lovely new picture! the children did grow older and are so adorable. But you are still the same, pretty and not older, you are the same...or perhaps even looking younger; .great!!

by jrob 12 May 2014
Thank you so much. Well, I may very well have felt younger in the second one. The first one was the day we brought the baby home and my poor daughter labored 17 hours and I was there with her and felt like I had been run over by a mack truck!

OH, forgot to say how special this pic would be, if you did the same thing, same pose, every year!! then make a little photo album for each of the girls.
by jrob 12 May 2014
Another great idea! I'll have to remember to put them on the same side somehow. They are only 13 days apart.

What fun dressing up 2 little girls! what a great age they are at! Enjoy being a grandma and take lots and lots of pictures, plus get a few of those picture frames that record the person as they will love hearing how they use to sound whether singing you Happy Birthday or practicing saying Trick Or Treat, they will love seeing and hearing themselves and love even more pushing that button so set it so they can not record over it in the future or make a back up of that recording too! Thanks for posting the sweet girls.

Thank you,I love the idea of the frames....I'll have to go on an expedition to locate some.

Aren't they just too gorgeous and very lucky to have each other as "cousin/sisters". It's a special blessing for the extended families to be living so close to one another. What a great support system all round. You look terrific too, needless to say!

Your smile hasn't changed. Girls are so much fun to sew for. Boys have their charm, but t-shirts and pj's was it for me.
1 comment
by jrob 12 May 2014
Yes, girls are fun to sew for. That's about all I get from my boys, too, but my 14 yr old grandson still likes the t-shirts as long as I keep them age appropriate.

They are just adorable. We have six grandsons and one granddaughter. She is really spoiled by my husband because she is our daughter all over again. Really nice picture.of the three of you. The one on your left has your eyes. Both are so cute.
1 comment
by jrob 13 May 2014
Thank you. I think she has my eyes, too. They both also have my hair pattern. It grows straight down from the crown toward the face. I always say it looks like Moe's on the Three Stooges.
I have 3 grandsons, then these 2 girls and I have a grandson on the way. He's due in June.

39 years ago we had twin daughters ,born at 32weeks . They are not identical ,I had twin brothers older than me they say it misses a generation but not in my case . They were a joy as babies and as young women they still are . I can truly identify with the sore arms they were like rag dolls for a long time . went on to have a son so it couldn't have been to bad LOL .Don't know how to post pictures but maybe one of our daughters will be able to show me .

These girls belong to my son and his wife(on the left) and my daughter and her husband (on the right). They are 13 days apart. God knew I couldn't handle twins!
We'd love to see your pictures.

Thank you, Becky. My little boys are easy and really love getting shirts, towels and their last names on backpacks. My last (I am told by both children) is due in June and he is a boy, so it will be 4 boys and 2 girls for me.
