29 Years ago on October 6th, a Blessing X2 came into our lives! The vibrant colors of the Autumn leaves, the humbling serenity of a Conference weekend, the total AWE of 2 perfect baby girls, who have transformed into special women with an inner strength, beauty and talent -- and two of my Best Friends!
Heidi we nicknamed 'Kitten', because she laid so quiet & cuddly - just like a kitten when it curls up on your lap to sleep. Heather was 'Squeaky' - everytime her eyes opened, her mouth opened!(much like a baby bird who awaits it's Mother's return with something to eat). She was not awake without wanting attention. You'll notice Heidi gets "Top Billing" on this shared day as she came 2 minutes earlier than her sister..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Heidi & Heather - I Love you so much!
'TIS NO OTHER . . .
Twin by Chance, Friend by Choice
Sister, Friend, but so much more
One would not be here without the other
So when you think you're all alone
Don't look to strangers . . . Seek out your sister.
Sharing everything since birth
Sleeping, eating, pooping, toys
The only thing I don't remember
Is that you might've shared the BOYS!
Alike, yet different . . .
With your individual style
Choosing friends who didn't fit the other
Always coming home to share with your sister.
Proud to call you both "my daughter"
Praying that you will remain happy, and close to each other.
'Tis no other more special. . . I've said it before
Sister, Friend, but so much more.
(Happy Birthday-October 6, 2005)
I love you both, all the way from Heaven and Back!

Happy Birthday! That's a cute picture of them.
That is an extraordinary tribute to two extraordinary women. But you knew that already. They deserve a fantastic, double scoop birthday! Oh heck, make it a triple!
And they used to sleep in the same bed and wear hair bows attached with a dab of honey. How they have changed since then. Happy Birthday, cousins.
I think they still do - use the HONEY, yuck! Why didn't they tell us about the KY?
Happy birthday Heather and Heidi!! Congratulations, Sioux, on raising such awesome (and gorgeous) women!
