The Twins new room!!

It's 11:38pm. I'm sitting here in the living room with Australian Rules Football on in the background. Talk about an exciting sport to watch!! I have to say I'm sorry to my NZ friends who are Rugby fanatics and hate the AFL. Andrew and I are really enjoying watching this stuff!!! We've talked about what it compares to and came up with this, it's a mix between American football, Soccer, and Rugby. Smash it all together, take away the pads, make it non-stop action, and you've got Aussie Rules Football. I still put it at 3rd behind NFL and Rugby but it's a close 3rd. ;) Sorry Wendy. Once you understand the chaos on the field it's great to watch. This game just ended 174-54. Carlton over The Gold Coast Suns.

SO, Friday was a great day of work and relaxation. After Andrew and I got home from work we took the boys out (Cotton and Rowdy) and then got ourselves ready to leave. Kineta was already in White Settlement so we just swung by Arlington to pick up Audra and left for Benbrook. The plans changed on our way to meeting at On The Border *off the map*. Kineta met us there. Dinner was great and the fellowship was better. It ended up being Andrew & Kineta, Audra & myself, Melissa & Samuel, and my mom & dad.

The first thing we all did when we got to Sam and Mel's house was converge on the twins new room. Samuel and Mel have done a LOT! The new paint is a greenish color that's probably soothing or something. :) The cribs are in each corner of the room with stuffed animals they made themselves. Very cool! Great Craigslist finds are on each wall; changing table and dresser that they painted and changed the hardware for. The piece de resistance however was the closet!!! Organized as only a mom-to-be-teacher could do. The clothes they have so far are separated on the rack in ages and sizes. They each have separate hampers for clothes and towels. There's a cubby system. I can't even remember all the other details! It was really impressive actually.

I believe if there is anyone ready for twins, and all that comes with that amazing blessing, it's Samuel and Mel!! They truly deserve everything they have and will continue to receive. They are giving each set of parents the first grand kids. They are making all of us uncles for the first time. They are getting 2 kids instead of 1 after losing so much over the last few years. Andrew and I get to be uncles to twins!!! Oh my gosh they're gonna be SOOO SPOILED!!! A good friend once told me that, "Out of all of the Holsworth guys, Samuel is gonna make the BEST father!" - Leeroy Chapa. I'm sorry Samuel for not ever considering it but I see it now. You two are incredibly blessed. All of us can't wait to share in the joys of seeing you both fulfill your dreams of becoming Godly parents! I know yall will do an amazing job. After all, you've had 4 amazing parents show you how it's done for the past 27ish years!!
