How the heck did that happen?
It took almost a decade of trying, science, heartache, and everything.
But eight years ago... kids.

Don't forget the nine months of 3D printing, each!
My oldest is 18 and just started college and the youngest is 15. Happy birthday to them!
I say the same thing every few years! Said it just this month when my oldest turned 16! It goes by so fast, doesn't it? Good thing for videos then you can go back and watch the things you barely remember because you were so busy actually doing it with them! Happy Birthday to Will's twins!!!! :)
You should worry, next month my youngest grandson becomes a teenager, yes he will be 13.
And yes happy hatchiversary to the twins.
Enjoy this time and all of the times!
Such a great age - old enough to talk to you and young enough to still want to. Happy birthday to your kids. Xx
Oh, forgot to, you know, link a pic.
Yes, twins. The Hill Giant bloodline is most obvious in the boy...
(seriously, he's as big as some 10, 12 year olds)
What gorgeous smiles. I couldn't see those without smiling back :) Happy birthday, kids!
Happy birthday to them and best wishes! My eldest will soon be 23, and with he and my middle "child" out on their own, we're almost empty-nesters...just my 13-year-old daughter left. I know that time with her will fly by.
Congrats on raising obviously very happy kids!
Twins... Congratulations... Eight years late...
My daughters are twins too... Fun times... They are ten, but they were two like a year ago... Or so it sometimes seems... Time flies when you are having fun... And screaming... Or hiding up a tree.
Well, happy birthday to them!
My twins will be 15 in November. I've gotten used to the tree.
Yes time does fly. Another 3 year and both kids will be in college. I wish I would still have more time with them cause yeah it went to quick.
Congratulations to you for happy babies. My eldest turned 22 today (or actually yesterday since she was born in Singapore on this date). What a blessing parenting can be and often is.
Happy birthday to your young'ns! Enjoy them, they grow up fast. Our oldest turns 36 today, and lives 800 miles away.
Bet wishes on their birthdays! - Where does the time go, you ask? Well, I don't know but I do know it goes by more quickly as one gets older - I've got two kids, 40 and 38, and three grandkids 13, 11, and 9...
OMG... "My Kids Turn 8!" ... Eight factorial is 40,320
How old are you?
I've said too much...
Congratulations on the blessings of the little ones! :) Kids grow up way too fast!
My husband and I have been together for 8 years now - seems like only a couple of years. Time really flies!
I hope we are blessed with a kid too someday. We both want a daughter but we only want to adopt - as both of us have a heart to take in a child in that is already here and needs a family. So many kids are already here needing love and needing forever homes. So we've always wanted to adopt instead of having one of our own. Sadly adoption is really expensive. But we hope that some day we can do it. :)
Happy birthday to the kids, Will!
My youngest is 8 - it truly is amazing how fast time flies.
Twins, huh? Double the pleasure, double the fun... double the trouble, too, I'll bet. As others are saying, enjoy it while you can, the time goes by so fast.
And I hope the kids had a wonderful birthday.
Greetings,
My eldest is 8, and youngest is about to turn 6. Eight is an unbelievably amazing age...they understand and can discuss so many things at a high level, but they still have a sense of wonder that infuses almost everything they do.
For us Science! was the answer, but however you got there, you've got them, and so congratulations!

Happy birthday to the twins. Cute kids.
Congrats!
Either of them showing any interest in the arts; sorta' following in dad's footsteps?
Eight is just old enough to begin worrying if they can beat you at chess. (especially if you're out of practice)
Eight is about the time you start worrying at what age they be able to beat you... Like with a stick, pipe or other improvised beating utensil.
8.5 is the point where you find out.
Pick a tree ahead of time... Preferably one with broad sturdy high branches and no hornet nests.
Wow, Will, with two 8-year-olds on the loose how do you ever get time to visit the forum?! (With 7K-plus posts, just imagine how many digits you'd have clocked up without them)
Happy Birthday to the young 'uns (maybe a day late but never mind...)
I need an escape from all the fussing and arguing. oy.
(I stay home to mind the kids and home)
As for Science!, us, too. ;)
We tried to have kids for 6, 7 years. Then it turned out my wife had endometrial cancer, and she fought the default 'oh, just yank out all the bits' from the doctors, did hormones and lots of exercise (like hours a day) to try to be healthy enough. That didn't work.
Eventually she had her eggs harvested and got a hysterectomy. Two embryos were viable, and her cousin volunteered to carry them. Each had about a 50% chance of taking... so we had this uncertain future of 1/4: twins, 1/2: one child, 1/4: no children. And it all was riding on that one chance.
Our plan B, if things didn't work out, was a vacation in Hawaii...
Well the vacation would probably have worked out cheaper, but much less fun in the long run
I'm glad everything worked out OK for you all.
Nonsense! Age and Treachery will ALWAYS beat Youth and Skill...
Yeah, but it's a little more complicated if you want the youngsters to survive...
