They were born on the night of February 3rd to Julie and Jeremy, and really, they couldn't be sweeter.
When they get older, they will be sent to Camp Dana up here in the mountains. They are already infusing my dreams with visions of mushroom hunting, drinking pure cold water,picking spring wildflowers and talking to the birds. Forest might even be part bird. I think this because he cries out to his mama just like a little screech owl.
Lily is pure and lovely, just like her name. Their sweetness and perfection is absolute.
Julie and Jeremy are rockin it, of course. Julie is nursing both babies at the same time (called the tandem football hold) and Jeremy is already a master swaddler. He taught me about the five "S"s- the secret to having the "happiest baby on the block." Swaddle, Shush, Side (turn the baby 45 degrees), Suck, and Shimmy.
Now, to answer some questions. Yes, Julie will have a lot of help. Her mother, the "peepatrator", will be there most of the time, alternating out with Jeremy's mom. Their friends have a long-ish term meal delivery schedule already planned out, and I am sure I will be in and out of the mix this spring. Hopefully the twins will get on somewhat of a feeding schedule, and Julie can get some sleep in between feedings. My goodness.

Wow! They have arrived! So beautiful. Feb. 3rd is a great day to be born, it's my sister's birthday. They have two matching Aquarians! They look so cozy swaddled in the blankets a special someone made for them. The future plans for visiting aunt Dana sound spectacular. What lucky babies! I am so glad all is well with the Tarr family.
Those two are some beauties! Lot's of love to Julie and Jeremy and their expanded new family. Glad everyone is doing so well.
If there are any openings, can I sign up to come to Camp Dana sometime?
