Two peas...

When they were born I thought my kids couldn't be more different. Merrick arrived early and with all the flair of a 20-hr labor and week long hospital stay. Tirzah arrived promptly on her due date and almost before I realized she was on the way. She was quiet and sweet and chubby, even calm while I was pregnant with her. Merrick was a tiny little wild man from when I first started feeling him kick at 15 weeks. It was like UFC in my belly. As they get older, though...they are starting to look, ahem act, a lot more alike.

Merrick at almost 1 year, above. Tirzah at 1 year, below.

I'm really in for it. Speaking of, I need to go. They are in the kitchen and I hear things crashing and children giggling.
