IT'S TWINS!

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

My friend's sister gave birth to twins yesterday afternoon!

Lucas Daniel
and
Alyssa (Joelle/Catherine... they're still deciding on the middle name)

They also have a 1-year old and an almost 3-year-old, Sophia Rose and Gabrielle Emilia.

As for Alyssa's middle name, my vote is for Joelle! What do you guys think?

And, wow, that's a lot of babies.

oh my word. my SIL had a very similar family, but one of the twins didn't survive. can you imagineall those girls that little??

I want to vote for catherine, but I think Joelle flows better.

I gotta say I think Catherine sounds nice, both with Alyssa and on its own

Hahaha, I love your userpic.

alyssa joelle sounds nicer.

Alyssa Joelle flows better with Lucas Daniel, but i like the sound of Alyssa Catherine better. Course i also think it should be Katherine, but im bias,my step mom's name is spelt that way:-)


btw, your friend must have the patience of a saint to have that many little ones under the age of 5!lol.

haha i know, they're actually all under the age of 3 !! well this is my friend's sister, and i don't actually knowA the sister. they live in wisconsin so i doubt i will ever meet any of these kids.

[x-lostinyou.livejournal.com]

I prefer Joelle.

I'm actually insanely jealous of them! I want my fourth child to be born before my first turns 6. My future hubbie and his sisters were born with less than two years between each of them, and they're all really close. I'd love for my family to be that way!

[krosp.livejournal.com]

Do you think their closeness is completely because of the age gap, though? I'm sure it's possible if you have a few kids really close in age they could hate each other, or conversely if you have them all with at least 3 years apart they could still be close. It's a nice idea but if it doesn't happen to work out that way for you, I'm sure you could still have a nice closeknit family =)

Yeah, my sister and I are 3 and a half years apart (we were always 4 years apart in school because of when our birthdays fall) and we couldn't be closer. I love the age difference. I think it's perfect for us. Closeness totally depends on other factors though, like you said.

[x-lostinyou.livejournal.com]

No, it is not necessarily because of that, but because of the closeness in age they have always been able to relate to each other. My sister and I are four and a half years apart and used to be really close, but as we aged it became less and less possible for us to relate to each other because we were at such significantly different stages of our lives. Now we hardly even talk. I just think that siblings closer in age have more of a tendancy to be close and stay close because they never get to that point where it's like 'Ew, why am I hanging out with a 12 year old?' when they're a teenager. Of course, other factors have to be in place like just being a loving family, but I would HOPE my family would be like that regardless.

I'm the same, my brother and I are 6 years (bar one week!) apart & we got on well until i hit me teens & now we rarely talk, we have nothing in common really.
It wasnt by choice that things turned out that way, we're both IVF babies so i guess it's a blessing he's here at all... but im hoping when he's older we'll be on the same wave length & be friends again. aww.. lol

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

Maybe I just lucked out. My sister and I are 25 and 22 and so far we seem to have more in common the older we get.

I Love all those names so much!!

Except Joelle/Catherine. But i'd go with Catherine if i had to.
