Twins Everywhere

Blake drew the picture above. He really wanted to put it up on the internet so everyone could see it.

Both Brandon and Katelyn are making good progress. They are getting better at everything. They are still small but in the last week they have been growing better than the previous week.

Brandon has done so well breathing that we have been able to take him completely off of the oxygen during the day. We have to keep the oxygen close at hand because every once in a while he needs a little. He also needs some oxygen at night when he sleeps. It feels so good when we are able to walk around without having Brandon attached to cords.

It seems that most people have some sort of twin connection. Somewhere in their family or in the family of a good friend there is a set of twins. It’s interesting how often we come in contact with twins. The other day was a warm day and Amy decided to put the babies in the stroller and walk to the park. The babies don’t get out of the house very often unless they are headed to the doctor’s office. The boys where playing in the park when an older girl asked them if they were twins and she began to compare them to see how much they looked alike. She, and the guy that was with her, asked them to stand next to each other and, when she did one of the other kids that the girl had asked to step aside said that his twin sister was playing on the other side of the park. The guy who was with the girl who started the questioning said that he was a twin. This same girl said that she was a twin but her twin didn’t survive. None of them ever realized that one more set of twins, Brandon and Katelyn, where nearby covered up in their stroller. Of the 15 0r 16 people in the park eight of them were twins.
