Bunkmates, past and present

Shawna's sweet pictures of Annie and Tessa nose to nose on her blog inspired me to go in search of a photo of us at the same age, snuggling in the same way.



Note Shawna's hulking presence on the right, and my scrawny, emaciated self on the left. There was obviously some neonatal hoarding going on! Annie and Tessa were much more civilized in utero:



I can't believe they're already three weeks old (tomorrow)! It will be so neat to watch their twinship develop over time. I hope they remain as close as they are today, turn to their built-in best friend throughout their lives, and savor their membership in the fantastic, privileged world of twinship.

To that end, Shawna and I are officially amending our long-held, somewhat snooty belief that fraternal twins are not the real deal. (But if DNA tests confirm that Annie and Tessa are indeed identical, we reserve the right to strike that last sentence.)
