two sets of twins

A long, long time ago when we first joined the beach club, we met identical twin girls: Colleen and Erin. I don’t know if it was the twin thing that drew them together, or just the fact that they really liked eachother, but since that first summer when the boys were one and the girls were three, they have been stuck together like glue. Every single summer their mom and I say "this is the last summer that they are going to play together". We figure it’s gonna get weird with the whole boy/girl thing, but thankfully it hasn’t. In fact, they are tighter than ever. It’s funny cause each twin has their assigned twin. Jack & Erin (red and red, 4 letters and 4 letters, calmer and calmer), Patrick & Colleen (blue and blue/green, 7 letters and 7 letters, drama and drama). We don’t know how they picked out the right one, but they did from the very beginning. The girls are way into the Mets as are the boys, so they play a lot of beach baseball. And they went to their very first Mets game together tonight. They were soo super excited about that.

There were so many times over the summers that I took both the boys and the girls for walks up and down the beach together and you can only imagine the looks and questions I got walking around with two sets of twins. I bet John got a few of those tonight at the game! Here are some shots…twins x2 at 2 and 4, and again at the boys 1st communion in May at 7 and 9.
