They were going home the day we delivered. They adopted their 1 month old nephew 2 months after birth. Evidently as soon as the Dr gave them the ok to practice again, she got pregnant immediately with twins. The kids are 3.5 and 2.5 now. Cutest kids I've ever seen. Its been pure survival. I've barely seen him since the hospital. I’d probably look like I’d been in a gulag for 2.5 years. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Didn't know where to put this, but this thread looked like a good place... My wife was digging through some stuff and found these 2 letters. They're from her Dad to her Mom, during WW2 before they were married. Her Dad was in the Battle of the Bulge, including the liberation of Bastogne. He sent these during the occupation of Velburg. A German POW did the artwork hoping my father in law would help him get to the US... Just some interesting Americana... 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t imagine what going from zero to twins would be like. Having twins would be the death of me lol. Kidding but I don’t know how parents do it, especially with it being their first ones. Of friend of mine from college had triplets for her first. Hats off to her and her husband, can’t imagine that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's grandparents were married for 71 years until her grandma died. Her grandfather is still alive. Anyway my wife's uncle, Dave Jr was in Vietnam for 9 months. He got killed in a village on the Go Noi Island. My father in law has his letters. I would like to read them one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogs have that natural protective instinct about babies. Very cool. My best bud Marcie takes a more distanced approach so she can get the angle on an ankle... And I was browsing through some pics and came upon one of our boxer Ty back in the day photobombing a pic with my new granddaughter's mom (my youngest daughter) being held by my Mom circa 1995. Old Ty was all business when it came to his baby... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
