Congratulations Great Auntie Allison….Being a twin myself, I have but one suggestion… NEVER EVER give a birthday gift meant for the TWO of them. LOL Give them each a smaller one. They will love you even more for that…

-- I love the smell of sawdust in the morning....

Hey Allison….this means that you have to make TWO of every project! I am also a Great Uncle for the last 6 months. Congratulations!

OK Auntie Allison, get your “Spoiling Apron” out. Looks like you’ll have a chance to use it, now! ;^)

Congratulations to all concerned!

I’m the proud great uncle of ane-year-old male twins, and they are a hoot to play with. Especially when you can give them back to mom and dad when you’re worn out.

Well thats great news, now don’t tell us that you don’t have some projects you can be doing, you’ve got 2 new ones to make things for. Go get em girl. Congrats to ya.

Theres something special about having “Great” associated with your name. Congratulations and don’t hold back on the spoiling, it’s big fun!!! My daughter says I’m a bad influence on my Grand Princess. Just a thought, loaded super soakers make great christmas presents!!

I didn’t realize it til just now that I’m a great uncle. I knew I was a grand father but never thought of myself as a great uncle. Cool! Congrats Allison.

I have a whole “gaggle” of great nephews & neices. I tell them that a great uncle is like a grandfather, and that in this day and age a kid needs all the grandfathers he can find.

Congrats!!! I just realized I’m a great uncle too, but no twins. I suppose they would be twice the fun, though :-))

Congrats!

What a relief. I was worried that glow to the east was Mt. Lassen acting up. It is just you glowing with pride.

Enjoy

This baby thread reminds me of my wife when we were traveling in the SW. We were pulling our fifth wheel down by the Grand Canyon. Our cell phones hadn’t had a signal for a few days. My wife found a pay phone to call our daughter. When she came out, she was crying. I thought someone must surely be near death! She finally got composed enough that I could understand what she was saying. Our granddaughter had stood up on her own for a few seconds. She was crying because we wouldn’t be there for her first step!! It was a few months before she took a step; we made it, fortunately!! :-))

Thanks everybody for the nice thoughts and remarks along with the suggestion from FlWoodRat LOL! And to ChicoWoodnut, I guess I am pretty transparent eh? LOL!!! Thanks.
and PEACE!!!

Being a grandparent, great Aunt and all that is the best….when my first grandson was born I got the news (cell phone pic) in the middle of the parking lot at the college apartments I was moving my other daughter into. I screamed really loud and shared the photo with every stranger in the parking lot. Needless to say, my daughter that was moving into the apartment (pictured with me on this site) was a little embarassed, especially when she found out I had shared it with the parents of her boyfriends room mate. We still laugh about it…I try to embarass my children whenever possible. Have fun spoiling, double the pleasure, double the fun!!

Congratulations Great Aunty Allison

Allison, if you haven’t alreadey looked it up Mom determines the number and Dad the gender, everything else is some type of comprise. any way enjoy and(one of the bennie of being a grand or a great, when they are wet or smelly hand them back to a parent.

-- RTB. "dumb animals are not stupid they simply can't talk "

Well thank you rtb, I actually had not looked it up yet! I thank you!
PEACE!!!

-- Allison, Northeastern Ca. Remember, Amateurs built the Ark. Professionals built the Titanic!

Not that it really matters, I just found out that one of my grandnieces names were spelled wrong by me, and having a name like Allison and having it spelled a gazillion different ways by people, I just felt the need to set their names straight here. No need to start them out in life with their Aunt screwing things up. LOL!!!
It is Irelynn Aspen and the one I messed up is spelled this way, Lilleerose, one name.
By the way I got to see pictures of them this morning and of course they are Gorgeous. LOL!!!
And they are both doing well.
Again thanks to all who commented and the well wishes,
PEACE!!!

-- Allison, Northeastern Ca. Remember, Amateurs built the Ark. Professionals built the Titanic!

and 2 weeks old already—and counting!!! :)
Congrats to everyone

Congratulations

To be “Politically Correct”...........you became a “Grand Aunt”, not a “Great Aunt”. Your grand neice/nephew would have to have a child for you to become a “Great Aunt”.

All the best to you and your growing family

Beautiful names! I’m glad they didn’t go with the common practice of giving twins very similar names. Why make it harder to tell them apart!? Congrats!

-- Don't tell her I'm in the shop!

Congratulations Allison. Give our best wishes to the family.

I just wanted to say again Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. I was just down in southern Ca. and was invited to go and see them, Life happens and things never worked out. (They live 45 miles in the opposite direction of anything that was being done) Just because I was on a “vacation” no one else was if you know what I mean. But I am proud and very thankful to announce they are both home now from the hospital (they were born at 32 weeks, 8 weeks early, but they both had such excellent birth weights, (both above 4 lbs.) that they are already home! So again I thank you all!

Congratulations, Allison. It’s a good thing they’re girls. Uncle Allison somehow doesn’t cut it. ;)
