| Hi Dustin -- I'm still grateful for all the help your site provided in helping me to learn Expression Web. I literally don't know how I could have built a site without your guidance and education. I have twin nephews in just about every branch of my extended family, so I understand how crazy life probably is for you right now. But when you have a chance, could you let us know how things are going? How old are the twins now, are they doing well, have they started to roll over or crawl? Do you ever get to sleep? I think I speak for all of the learnexpression.com community when I say that we wish you all the best. Toni Collins, web hostess of www.SupermanBobHoliday.com (Thanks to YOU!)

Hi Toni, thank you for your kind words and for asking about the boys. I've been trying to get back to this post all week, so I'm glad to take a minute to fill you in.
Avery Lee was born on May 03 at 9:38 PM and weighed 5 pounds, and was 17.5 inches.
Elliot James was born on May 03 at 9:55 PM and weighed 4 pounds 2 ounces, and was 16 inches.
They were only 33 weeks along at the time, so a bit early. They spent 24 days in the NICU, which was pretty challenging for us, or at least, more than we realized at first. It really was a taxing experience even though the boys were never in a critical condition. They did need some assistance with breathing at first, and then working on maintaining their own body weight, eating, etc. We spent a lot of time at the hospital as you can imagine. Towards the end my wife stayed at the hospital 24 hours a day so she could work with them learning to nurse properly.
They've been home for well over a month now though and things are going great. They're a handful to be sure, and we're still trying to figure out exactly how to manage the days between us, but the boys are simply amazing, I wouldn't trade it for anything. We had a lot of full time help at first, and now we get some help here and there. But they're growing and amazing us everyday. They're both double their birth weight now, so they seem huge to us now, but still about the same size as some newborns!
Here are a few pics of them. One is from the NICU, the other I took last weekend.
Edit: I suppose I should point out that Avery is on the left in both of those photos. They are identical twins, but fortunately for us, the weight difference makes it easy for now to tell them apart.
=========================
My wife has given birth to our twins, so I'm still going to be spotty around here. It never seems to correct itself does it? I'm sorry, I'm trying.
