The twins are both home!

Mac was released from the NICU this afternoon. Mom, Dad, and grandmother claim to be able to tell them apart. I’m skeptical.

The tension level is way down. Two more beautiful baby girls the world has never seen.

I had identical twin cousins…they could tell the difference by their crown on their head. One brother had 2 crowns in hair.

From wiki…
Most stork bites on the face go away completely in about 18 months. Stork bites on the back of the neck usually do not go away.[5]


There’s always fingernail polish.

My Dad told people when asked how to tell my twins apart "The black horse is one hand taller than the white horse" meaning he had no problem telling them apart.

enjoy the love and happiness I know they will bring to you. We have a baseball team full of grand kids but the twins are something else. Ours are fraternal so telling them apart hasn't been a problem. Twice the love we say. Ours were NCIU warriors also. Crazy where they have come from there. .Best to you and yours
