Shawn, Bev, and Family

Welcome to the twinhouse! Shawn and I were married in 1997 and have been blessed (yes, blessed!) with 2 sets of twins. Alexander and Benjamin were born in 2002 and Hannah and Jacob joined the family in 2004. We created this blog to keep friends and family updated on the excitement in the twinhouse.

EDINBURGH OPEN DOORS DAY

The wonderful city of Edinburgh has an annual event which we were able to enjoy yesterday. It is called Open Doors Day. It is basically a day to explore the city. They open the doors to many buildings which otherwise are not open to the public. We went to the Edinburgh Heritage Center (I think that is what it's called) and the children made a craft and got dressed up as in the 1800s. All the dresses were too big for Hannah so we just picked a nice purple/pink vest to go with her bonnet. The three boys were outfitted in vests and ties. They looked so cute!
We had a great time looking around at the displays . And it was all free!!
What a great idea for a city to do. We didn't make it to very many other venues as we were running out of time but we did enjoy the city. It was a lovely sunny day for it as well. So here are our pioneers...

I think Shawn would look pretty good in one of those getups.

Matt, was that a typo in your comment? I am sure you must have meant to write Sharon....

Oh, yes. I meant to write Sharon, not Shawn. I guess you could say I hit "reply" instead of "forward"...
