Their Twin Touch

There is something I have noticed over the years......and looking back over old photos has only confirmed it. From the very beginning, Sam and Ross have always liked.....or needed to be touching. As infants, if they were laying near each other, they would soon gravitate closer....and closer.

There would always be hand holding or an over lapping leg. To this day, that fact is true. When we snuggle they will even put one of their legs over mine.....always. It is the sweetest thing.



Notice the over lapping leg :) They would just naturally go into this position....they still do this.
While sleeping, they have always needed to be close to each other. Really close....touching.


In this photo, they are not only touching.....but Ross is also holding Sam's foot.



This one......well, I'm not sure how to explain this picture :)

Still, even as they are getting older, they love to hug each other.......


......hold hands or walk arm in arm.


There is definitely a twin bond that I will never understand. It should make perfect sense....they did share a womb for the first 9 months of their lives. God did create them -together.


As obvious as their love is.....they are typical siblings as well. They still have sibling squabbles and can be competitive with each other. Sometimes, I think they know each other too well....like they are always looking in a mirror. I pray that their bond will continue to grow.....I'm so thankful for it.....for them.

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."

Psalm 139:13-16

Oh my goodness...I am LOVIN' these! I just made my hubby look at them! How sweet is that...and what a special relationship and what an extra challenge you have as their Mom to cultivate and nurture and respect their bond yet do all those things for their individuality as well.

AND, I LURVE me some passy babies...had two myself.

I think I'm going to cry. I love that scripture and the bond that those two little boys have with one another in good time and bad! They truly are so, so sweet. I wish that your blog followers could hear the boy's voices. That just makes them even more special. Maybe you could blog about that to give your friends (who have never met you guys) an even better "picture". Their voices are the cutest thing I've ever heard.

I'm curious now about their voices! Do tell!! :)

Those pictures are precious. My eldest daughter has never been snuggly, even as a baby, but as she gets older she will hug me and want to snuggle once in a while. I savor it when she does. My "baby" (age 3) is snuggly, but naughty as all get out!

Oh Mimi. . . this is just too precious for words!!! The joy and blessing you have of being a mom of twin boys. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

My heart is overwhelmed with the love in these photos. The pure unconditional love that only comes from the Lord. How precious that the Lord saw fit that you and G-man would be their parents, to give them all the love that you have, and to receive all the love that they have.
Carla, I beat you to it...Already crying.

Carol you always were a bigger baby than me. I'm laughing right now "hearing" you call him G-Man. That is a riot. G-man. Oh my goodness. Like he's some highly classifed spy or something!
