Jordan William and Jared Royse arrived on June 26, 2003.  They weighed in at 5 pounds, 3 ounces and 5 pounds 31/2 ounces, respectively.  Jordan was 17 inches long and his brother was just a half an inch bigger.  Having twins really has been a double blessing.  The twins are happy smiley little boys who love to eat, play with their sisters, and, lately, play in the water in the dog dish.  They tend to follow each other around and are often seen holding hands. I most often hear "Are they twins?" (I don't understand that question, given they look exactly alike) and next, "Look at those blue eyes."
