That's a lot of love on one small blanket.

Picnic at dusk on the beautiful green near town hall. The boys gazed at the trees above, bicycling their legs excitedly, while Louise covered them with grass and pizza kisses.

This is what sick looks like.

You know there's something wrong when your kid refuses Popsicles. Strep throat/stomach bug in August is no fun.

Felix and Sonny Arrive, May 3, 2011

BEFORE
they were born, their Mama was huge. So huge that Louise could take shelter under the shelf of my stomach. This photo is from about 37 weeks. Once it was clear that these twins were enjoying their time in the womb far beyond the normal expectations of most early-arriving multiples, Mama was induced at 37 weeks and 5 days. It was relaxed and wonderful birth and brought to our family two healthy boys born four minutes apart.

Felix Benjamin Stedman, 6 lbs 0 oz.

"Sonny" William Emerson Stedman, 5 lbs 10 oz.

In the hospital they were Twin A and Twin B.

Two at a time.
