The Twins

Looking at this photo takes me right back to my high school years when my sister's twins, Jeff and Holly, were little. They lived next door to us for a number of years.

They are the first babies I ever loved, and while it was great fun for me to have them living next door, I'm not so sure it was such a great thing for their parents to live next to parents and parents-in-law.

Holly and Jeff were adorable toddlers with lots of energy, creative enthusiasm, and a sense of humor. They could always ham it up for the camera, as you see to the right: Jeff is wearing a pair of old glasses without the lenses -- which were bigger than his face.

As adults they continue their creative pursuits very successfully. And best of all, they maintained their sense of humor.

Happy Birthday, Holly and Jeff! I love you.
