It still amazes me....

That two babies could have been conceived at exactly the same time, born only two minutes apart and raised the EXACT same way and be total opposites!

We took the kids to the beach Saturday night (I will post pics when I get home tonight). As soon as we put the kids down Jenny tore ass towards the ocean.

Nicky plunked his butt down in the sand and just sat there - studying the sand - getting used to the way it felt. He stared at the seagulls for a good fifteen minutes straight!



Jenny, on the other hand, wanted in the water right away and was trying to make me let go of her so she could be on her merry way. When the water would come up she would kick and laugh - she tried to sit in the pools of ocean that gathered in little sand pockets. Joey got a few good shots of her trying to get away from us.











Nicky's turn at the ocean. He held on to my fingers for dear life. The water would come in and wash over his feet and legs - he didn't cry but he looked up at me like "Yeah, I am glad you are getting a kick out of this - but it is a little too much excitement for me." Meanwhile, Joe couldn't get any good shots of Nicky at the water because he had to keep one hand on Jenny the whole time - who was bugging out b/c she couldn't still be in the water.

Joey had a great time climbing up the LifeGuard sand mounds and splashing in the ocean. After we were done playing on the beach we went up to the boardwalk where Jenny did her shimmy shimmy shake where the band was playing - and Nicky finally decided to explore a little bit.







After the beach we went to Carvel for ice cream and then the kids each conked out! It was a good day. Here are all the pictures from the beach.





Quick update - I posted pics and I found one from the sprinkler day that I forgot to post of Jenny.....

The beach pics are to cute. All the pics of Jenny look like she's on the go, and so independant. Nicky looks like he had a good time observing his surroundings. They are too cute, and are growing up so fast.

The pictures of the kids at the beach are great - you can 'see' the personality difference in the twins - it's unbelievable.
God Bless!
