Those Daniels’ Boys! May 13

Addison Cole and Gabriel James
I guess I’m a lot of things: a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister, a crafter, a cook, a reader, a writer, a homemaker, a pianist, and probably a lot more too. But at the end of the day, I’m just a Christian trying to find and obey God’s will.

Addison Cole and Gabriel James
Yup, my name is Danica. Like the race car driver, whose name I know, but whose career I know nothing about. A Nascar fan I am not. Things like reading, playing piano, gardening, cooking, sewing, writing, and keeping my bathroom bleached are more up my alley. Read more »My maiden name is Sinclair (not Patrick), and I come from good stock. (So says my husband, anyway!) I'm the oldest of 9 kids--and my parents are neither insane, uninformed, or Catholic. They're actually the best parents you could ask for. Seriously. (And, consequently, I think pretty highly of my siblings, too, whose blogs you can access from the links below.) I've joined a new clan, though, and my husband and I have been "leaving-and-cleaving" for 2 years and counting. We have a son who you'll read much (too much?) about. Oh. And there are pictures of him, too--hundreds of them--should you care to click on over to my flickr account. I'm a stay at home mom who is redefining that title--I literally stay at home as much as I possibly can. I love to be home! Home, by the way, is in Northern California, although my roots are in a lil' ol' town in Northern New York. Lastly, I take all blame for any ridiculous, outlandish, illogical posts. Anything worth commenting on or linking to is due to my husband's encouragement. In the spirit of the Little engine That Could, "He thinks I can, He thinks I can, He thinks I can,...", and sometimes, that's all a wife needs.
how precious they are! i posted a few more at my site at stitchofverse.
i didn’t want to leave the hospital, they were just so wonderful.

They are just too sweet. I wish that you were here too. I know that you would be a great encouragement to Liz! You’re a good friend!

all I can say (after my breath comes back to me!) is:
WOW.

Danica was like, “they so perfect!”
..they really are. Totally cute kids! …wish I was there.

I got to sit and snuggle them for about an hour yesterday. The hardest part was not being able to hold them both at once! SO cute.

By the way, I think you should get a ticker for my sake. :) Aunt Judy asked me how far along you were and I was like, ‘Uhh… she’s going to have a baby in a bout 5 months… so I guess something like 17 weeks???” Yeah, weeks are hard enough to keep track of when I’m the one pregnant. Do a sister a favor, D!

Done. (See “About Me.”)

How big were the boys? They look big for twins, but it is hard to tell from the picture. Do you know their weights?

Thanks, Ry. :)
@Sarah: 7lbs/19″ and 7lbs4oz/19.5″ respectively. Very big for twins, small as far as I’m concerned!

Liz is now my hero. Over 14 pounds combined?! WOW.

I know! I was so proud of her, growing TWO big healthy boys!!

Umm, that was me, above. Oops!

I can’t imagine having 14 lbs of baby inside me! 9 lbs was uncomfortable enough!
